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 💪1 -
Torch sounds a good idea.
