Morning, happy Tuesday.
WFH today and a lovely sunny morning so a load of washing already out.
Mr M delivery has been and packed away, nothing missing or subbed. This week's little extra was £2 off crisps so that's Mr SA stocked up for free. Only needed a small delivery as cutting down to essentials for the next 2 weeks.
I have a dental appointment later this morning, only a check up. Also got a meeting with the friends of the park across the road group tonight, could do without it to be honest but I'm always glad I've been once it's done.
Today's exercise is a goal of 15,000 steps, live bums & tums at lunchtime and resistance bands tonight.
Need to make some soup for work lunches, probably carrot, swede and lentil. I'm making leek and spring onion risotto for tonight's dinner, trying a new recipe.
Cleaning task is the kitchen and will try to fit in a quick garden job if I get time. I'm chipping away at the garden and it's slowly getting back into shape bit by bit.

I'm prioritising pantry and garden this week, too. Shame we aren't neighbours, we could take a cuppa out and compare notes over the fence.
I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
The sun's been out and I think I’m solar powered (Onebrokelady)

Sounds like you have a busy day. Hope the sun keeps shining. Clouded over here now, as soon as I've pegged washing on the line

I’ve literally just got back from the committee meeting. It was in the little micro brewery pub at the end of my road. I can’t believe how busy the pub was, although it’s so tiny 20 people would fill it 😆 I’m usually in bed by now but just need to wind down a bit first. The local councillor was actually a bit more proactive than he usually is so it was quite a productive meeting.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4

Back at my desk now. We don’t know what it was yet. We do a starburst evacuation so we have to disperse into the local area for 45 minutes. I used the time wisely and went to B&M 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6
