Cherryfudge said:Between @badmemory's son's hoovering and Mr SA's un-laundered laundry, your thread is making me laugh. I'm in awe of 32,000 steps - wow, most people probably couldn't have achieved that. I did a quick google and it's about 3/4 of the way to a marathon.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3

Just popping on to say that my week ahead exercise plan (inspired by @Sun_Addict) is working well so far! I found something active to do each day and also a couple of not-time-specific options as back ups in case everything went a bit awry in the day. Thank you!4

Love Mr SA hanging out the washing. That has made me laugh very loudly this morning3

Morning all.
WFH today thank goodness. My dodgy ankle is a bit sore after yesterday.
Did a quick check of finances and have sent an oddment of £9.00 to the Christmas pot, £9.09 in total to the 1p saver which will cover up to next Tuesday and £250 to the holiday pot. Today will be NSD5. At that boring stage of the month now where payday seems a long way off and things are just ticking over.
Today's exercise will be quite low key, aiming for 10,000 steps which will include taking the dog on the park, a live weights session at lunchtime and a stretching session after work. I've joined a 3 week stretch and restore challenge on my FitOn app, the sessions are only 10-15 minutes and I have to do 3 a week, I can definitely fit that in.
Tonight's dinner is a portion of veg lasagne from the freezer with salad.
I need to give the bathroom a good clean today also the bedroom. The dog was a bit sick on the duvet cover this morning so all the bedding is in the wash, fortunately I was going to change it today anyway.
Also need to sort out my Clubcard vouchers before they expire and while they are still worth 3 times the amount. I usually go for a magazine subscription.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4 -
The stretching challenge sounds good. I think sometimes we're all so intent on getting the steps in that we forget how important stretching isMaking the debt go down and savings go up
