Happy Saturday 🥂
Just done a live ClubFit class now having a coffee before going to Mr T.I’ve been a bit spendy this morning and bought a Shark steam scrubber from QVC. My old steam mop has broken, although it wasn’t exactly great and I’ve been thinking about getting a new one for some time. This one scrubs and steams so will be brilliant for all my hard floors.DS and the GKs are coming today. I have a few gifts from the holiday for them. DS always likes a couple of local cans of beer.Curry night tonight and very unusually for me I have a ready made one from a Mr M meal deal. It’s actually the side order so isn’t very big but I’ll bulk it out with rice. I doubt it‘ll be as nice as homemade but will give it a go. Mr SA loves their lamb rogan josh.I need to sort out a quote for home insurance as the current insurers have increased their price by £30 which is a big increase when it’s only £80, almost 50%. Also need to plant seeds before it’s too late.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4 -

As if I don’t have enough to do, I was in Mr T when Mr SA rang to say the older cat had weed in the hall and the kitchen so I had that to clear up when I got home. Then I had just sat down to grab a quick lunch before the GKs arrive when Mr SA dropped his entire glass of cola on the living room floor. I had to abandon my lunch to clear up. He’s always dropping drinks, he has very little grip in his hands. I’m getting him a beaker with handles as it’s getting a regular occurrence.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2

I got these for mum as normal cups and glasses are too heavy. They are a bit kids picnic but they are easy for her to hold etc. The big river shop has others that might be more your tasteNevertheless she persisted.3 -
Wow that is a big increase in your insurance. We are with the "Naval Officer", that begins with Adm...! Been with them for about 5 years now and they always price match if I find cheaper elsewhere or this year I didn't even bother checking elsewhere as their renewal price was only 20p a month dearer.
Definitely sounds like Mr SA needs some good cups with handles on, or you'll be using your new steamer all the time...lolMaking the debt go down and savings go up

You can see why I need the steam scrubbing machine can’t you. I’ve toyed with the idea of a robot vacuum that also mops but it would be worn out after a week 😆
Thanks for the link @BuffythedebtslayerI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2 -
I'm with Mr S_A today. I tipped three quarters of my breakfast coffee all over me when I knocked the mug over. At least it went on me and not the carpet. I hope you have a peaceful evening.3
