    Yup absolutely freezing here too. 
    Aww poor cat…..glad you were there for it to visit, if that’d been me I’d have mentioned we were going away and asked someone to keep an eye on the cat. Good job it had the sense to go to yours for its 4 pouches of food.

    The cat is quite a way away, a few minutes to drive, but a good 10 minute walk for a person. I hope he goes across the golf course and fields and not down the road. He must think it’s worth the trip on his little legs. I think they think we are encouraging him, but personally I’d rather not pay to feed someone else’s cat 😬 His dad drove him home last night, this afternoon I stood up from my desk and who did I see scuttling across the back garden! What a monkey he is 🤣 Luckily he wasn’t begging on the doorstep at tea time so I hope he went home himself. 
    I have booked tomorrow afternoon off…I think I want a do over of late lunch out. It definitely spurred on last weeks weight drop. I want my 3lb medal back 🙄😅

    Sounds like the cat prefers your house, he must feel comfortable at yours or he prefers your brand of cat food 😆

  • Good morning and happy half day Friday 🥳😁
    Yes SA, I think the Felix as good as is quite a draw 🤭 Plus they’ve not had him neutered yet, so he’ll be looking for girls and have quite a big area I should think 😖
    Today the scales finally gave me a break, I now have my 3lb badge back 😁 I’m just .2 lower than this time last week, so it seems a lot of effort, but I’ll keep plodding. We are going out for a late lunch today, but I won’t have tea later, so it just still be around 1200/1300 calories for the day.
    One and a half weeks to pay day. January hasn’t been too bad, but I’m starting to feel the pinch now. I do not want to take back any of my savings, so I’ll limp along to the end! Our drainpipes at the back of the house aren’t draining and are spewing water, so I’m afraid my savings may have to take a battering if the ground needs digging up. I’m not sure where the problem is, but the pipes are full of water, so it must be further down than that 😢
    I hope you all have a lovely day ☕️☕️⭐️

  • Try not to be too disheartened by the scale changes. So much can effect it, a slightly more denser meal, higher salt content, hormones. Just keep being consistent and it will happen.
