Onwards and the debt goes downwards!

Eeeek to the shark.
Shudder.

I once caught a baby shark on holiday, wasn’t allowed to land it as apparently it’s bad luck. The blokes on the boat cut it off before we got a picture

Well done on the fishing 🎣

A whole day off to myself. OH is at work. Going to put a gammon in the slow cooker and make a proper tea. Have a bash at doing roast spuds in the air fryer. Weather is dreich at the moment so put the dog walk on hold for a while. My ankle will thank me for that, it’s a bit ouchy at the moment. I did take a couple of paracetamol at bedtime as I knew it was going to keep me awake. I did also take a nytol as well as sleepy tea, so do feel a bit more human now. 

Probably the most exciting thing I’m going to do is binge watch The Witcher, was going to watch it when DD1 was up with her but things didn’t quite go according to plan. OH said he wasn’t bothered about it.

Hope your ankle improves

Ankle has decided to calm down and behave. Just had a phone call off HSBC fraud department. Me being deeply sceptical ended the call and decided to phone the number on the back of my debit card. It turns out it was a genuine call and someone was attempting to get £500 out of my account. A new card is on its way. A big well done to HSBC!!
Glorious day and got all the lap blankets washed and drying outside. 

The window cleaner has been and to be honest I’m not impressed. There are still bird poo marks on a window and a few others have marks on them that I thought would’ve come off. Do I say something or give him the benefit of doubt?

Worked all day yesterday and then had an evening shift. Slept ok but did have sleepy tea and a nytol. Swapped my days round next week, so having Tuesday off (31 years married) and working Thursday (stove install day). 

Hoping to try out badminton tonight potentially meet new people

New badminton class was good. The people seem nice. But boy were we shattered!  Also very sweaty. It was good to get out and do something physical. Thursday we’re both off and planning on doing a walk we’ve done before but it was misty so didn’t get to see the views.

Good the fraud was caught. Well done you for ringing the card issuer back too - just in case it had been a scam call.

Window cleaner is awkward isn't it - I'd probably be inclined to go down the route of phrasing it something like "oh - you probably couldn't see from the outside with the reflections and everything but there were a few marks left on last time - do you want me to point them out from the inside for you?" that way if he's trying it on then he will realise he's been caught out, and if not you've saved him feeling "got at"? 

Great work from HSBC but also from you on being cautious and calling back on the number you knew was right.

Thanks EH.  That was worded to perfection and I've used that in my email to him.  Stunning day here, got to work tonight but hey ho.  Just picked up 2 tables I bought for in one of the bedrooms.  OH has been to the docs and had his medication altered in a good way, so hopefully he won't feel dizzy anymore.

Had to cash in some PBs to pay for the stove and help one of the chaps out.  That should hit my account on Wednesday, ready for stove install day on Thursday.
