    Afternoon all.

    Back on the work hamster wheel today. Worked in the office this morning WFH this afternoon.

    Monday finance check done and cc balance cleared. Oddment of £3.26 sent to the Christmas pot.

    Got a price for the carpet and vinyl. It was what I expected. That will be a big chunk of the regular saver pot gone.

    Stopped off at Lid! on the way home, bought myself a head torch for walking down our road on the dark mornings. It was only £1.49. Our road is poorly lit and I hate walking down the bit where there aren’t any houses just the park and trees.

    Today’s exercise has been walking to/from work and I’m doing strength training and yoga sessions later from either FitOn or YT.

    Tonight’s dinner is lightly dusted yellowfin sole with wedges and steamed veg.

    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping) -.literally have been run over by a bike, mobility scooter and a car - still here 💪
