Progress not Perfection

I was wondering if you could quietly pocket the widgetty bit that allows the hose to attached to the outside tap, like this:

and then put it back on when you do want to use the hose?

Thank you @EssexHebridean and @KajiKita. Good idea about removing the connector bit 🙂

I don't think I'll risk it 😆

Afternoon all.

Worked in the office this morning. WFH this afternoon.

Got a great bargain in MnS, Clin1que 200ml dramatically different moisturiser for £26.50 half price. It's in a pink bottle with a keyring. I really like this moisturiser so it was a good find. This in turn has generated an £8 reward voucher.

The 🐙app gave me a free Gr£ggs sausage roll which will make Mr SA happy, I'm missing my free coffees 😞

Popped in Lid! on the way home. I'd converted my points into a £5 off voucher which I used against my shop. Picked up a free doughnut for Mr SA. Now got a voucher for a free muffin.

Mr SA is doing well out of these apps just lately!

The gardener has finished the fence already. It looks really good. Mr SA was trying to persuade me to have the area paved - no way - I love the gravel it gives it a beach feel.

Monday finance check done, only a small balance on the cc so will wait until Wednesday to clear it. It's the final week of the 4 week budget period I'll need to go careful with the groceries pot this week as I seem to have gone a bit mad stocking up over the last couple of weeks, although technically some things should've come out of the stock up pot. Any surplus at the end of the budget period goes into the stock up pot so it's all the same really.

The painter has just been to look at what needs doing. He's busy at the moment and won't be able to get until some time next month which is fine by me as I could do with another regular saver maturing for this as the garden work we're having done at the moment wasn't planned for and has eaten most of the home improvements budget. This is more down to materials than labour costs as there is quite a bit of fencing and gravel boards involved plus trellising around the pond. It all needed doing at some stage so decided to go for it now when the gardener is free. The savings I had earmarked for home improvements matures in October so this should come in just at the right time. Once the kitchen has been painted I plan to replace the dishwasher and fridge freezer but have a different pot for appliances and there should be enough in there.

This week's meal plan revolves around some new recipes from the G00d F00d app:

• Gochujang veggie sausage orzo
• Spiced prawn tacos with avocado lime crema
• Tofu and mushroom dan-dan style noodles
• Creamy butterbean spaghetti

I've got most of the ingredients in stock so will only need to buy a few fresh ones. I won't be using the mushrooms in my garden 😆

Today's exercise has been walking to/from work and I'm doing a live strength training class followed by a live yoga class tonight.

Oooh, prawn tacos sound lovely, just my kind of thing, esp if avocado is also involved.
