Happy Tuesday 😎
Wow the rain in the early hours, absolutely pouring down. Had to let the dog out at 3.30am, she was out and back in again rather sharpish.
Out for a walk this morning, went to the big Mr Ts for some glue to try and repair my light. Over 7k steps done so a good start to the day. Mr M delivery coming later, nothing missing, 2 subs I will be returning.Have booked Mr SA an eye test for next Wednesday, going to take the day off work. He moaned about it until I told him we could go for a coffee first and lunch afterwards. Not told him it also entails picking him a few new clothes up in case he starts making a list 😆
Trying a new recipe tonight veggie meatballs with carrot spaghetti from one of my WW books. I’ll make 2 portions and have the other for lunch tomorrow.
Cleaning task is the kitchen. Exercise is lunchtime dog walk and a FitOn session after work.
Is it Friday yet 😂I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6 -
Hope you manage to repair the light…..I’d be tempted to find it a safer place to live where Mr SA can’t knock it over.January spends - £587.583

Aargh Mr SA has now broken the grabber stick I bought him 2 weeks ago. I’ve lost count of how many that is now. He crashed his scooter into a bench on the park this lunchtime just because he was distracted and not looking where he was going 😫 Then he suddenly decided he wanted some GB stickers for his scooter and was going to set off for a local car spares shop. Told him they’d be expensive in there and I’d order from Amazon. He kicked off a bit, he doesn’t want to wait for delivery he wants them now. Eventually made him see reason and Amazon it is. Honestly it’s like having a blooming giant toddler 😳I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5

In fact you have reminded me we need to get some new number plates made for the van at some point as well.3 -

Happy hump day ☺
Should be NSD 4/15 today, no plans to spend anything today.
Nice sunny day out there so shall be off out for a walk shortly. Now the mornings are darker first thing, I've decided to log on to work for a bit until it gets light then take some time out for a walk. I work flexible hours so can take breaks whenever it's convenient. I'll take the dog on the park across the road for a ball run after lunch then do a Pilates session after work.
No work meetings in my calendar today - bliss. Hoping to be able to cross a few things off my work to do list.
Today's cleaning tasks are sort out my herbs/spices/ingredients cupboard, mop the floors and clean the bathroom. Having a stir fry for tonight's dinner. Got a portion of the veggie meatballs for lunch, won't bother making them again, they're ok but not worth the faff.
The dog woke me up just before 4am to go out, she can knock that on the head, that's 2 days running.
Have a good one 😎I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3
