Well tonight’s taco dinner was absolutely gorgeous! Definitely a keeper recipe. Just goes to show when you put off making something it often turns out to be a great one. I made two portions so the other one will become a weekend lunch. I’ve found the same with books I’ve put off reading, they often turn out to be brilliant.

Please get a robot hoover for the sheer joy of seeing the cat joyriding on it 😂❤️

Morning all, happy Friday.
Payday 😁
I can't really do much money shuffling until the first of the month but have sent an oddment of £6.86 to the Christmas pot. Other pots will be filled on Monday.
Checked cc and paid off the balance.
Picked up free coffee on the way to work and have a free muffin and deodorant to pick up from Lid! later.
Mr SA has already phoned asking what time I'm leaving work. Told him I have a lunchtime meeting so it won't be until 2-ish.
Looking forward to my lunchtime 'meeting' with my friends 😆

Hope your lunch was enjoyable and Mr SA didn't hassle you anymore.

We had a lovely lunch thank you. Only a couple of hours but very enjoyable. I had a lovely vegan chilli and rice and a glass of wine 🍷
Mr SA’s was none the wiser and no need for him to know. He’d phoned me twice after the first call asking when I was coming home, despite me telling him around 2-ish 😖Stopped off at Lid! on the way home.
Had a lovely long soak in the bath with candles and a magazine when I got home. Can you believe I’d just got relaxed when the batteries died on the radio so had to get out and change them, isn’t that just typical 😐
Today’s exercise has been walking to/from work via the pub, slightly over £20,000 steps.
Tonight’s dinner was stir fry using fridge stocks.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6 -
Your baths sound lovely.
20,000 steps is ace

Happy Saturday 🥂
I got up at 5am as the young cat wanted to go out and I was wide awake so had a lovely relaxing start to the day.
Didn’t see the point in traipsing all the way to the big Mr T just to recycle the soft plastics so we took the dog on the park instead.Used the freed up time to tidy and sort the freezers.
Then DS and the GKs visited for a couple of hours.
Decluttered some ancient gardening and house magazines.
Finished my latest book, enjoyed it - Still See You Everywhere by Lisa Gardner.
It’s been the final NSD of February.
Tonight’s dinner is Moroccan style falafel in a protein pitta with salad and homemade coriander and lime hummus.
Exercise has been dog walking and general pottering, just over 10,000 steps.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6
