    Happy Saturday 🥂


    Epic Trekking Trip about to begin. We’re going to the retail park for a number of things, none of them interesting but need to be done. I need to make a list so I don’t forget anything.

    See you later.

    I am absolutely shattered 🥱

    19,818 steps done in one go.

    So…

    First stop Mr T with the soft plastics recycling and to pick up a few bits.

    Then on to the retail park. Picked up flea/worming treatment for the dog and cat from the vets, bought the dog a new collar and she had a pack of free treats to celebrate her 14th birthday. Weighed the dog on the vet’s scales and she’s lost a kilo which is good.

    Then on to Gr£ggs for Mr SA’s coffee and sausage roll.

    Dropped off 2 bags of coffee pods for recycling at Mr M.

    Next stop BnM, it was SO busy. People in the queues shouting they need to get more people on the tills 😐 This resulted in someone coming away with an application form for a job there 😆 I didn’t want much apparently, £42 later…

    However have got some fab tat/stuff for my sunbathing area in the garden. Already argued with Mr SA about an impulse purchase cocktail glass shaped garden/plant pot table that will be perfect as a drinks table next to my sun lounger but he thinks should be on show on the patio 😐 Not happening by the way, it’s my table, I spotted it and queued up with it, I get to decide where it goes 💪

    Apparently BnQ don’t sell drainpipes so that visit was unsuccessful 😞 This was to replace the drainpipe that Mr SA keeps crashing his scooter into.

    Got home and had to cook lunch as Mr SA was ‘starving’ despite the huge sausage roll.

    Mr SA and the dog have gone back to bed. I’ve been sitting with my feet up on the sofa reading.

    That is a busy day! Quite right to keep your table, he can go and get his own.

    😂 at the customer coming away with a job application form, good for them
