Progress not Perfection

I had a lovely time thank you both 🙂

Can you believe just as I was about to log off to meet my friends we had an emergency building evacuation. I had to wait until they called our floor as they do it on a floor by floor basis starting with the floor where the incident is then the ones closest. I don’t know if it was a drill or the real thing yet. That meant I had to take my laptop out with me rather than leave it in my locker as there was the possibility that the building could be closed on Monday if it was a real incident.

Mr SA survived a day on his own 😆I did get a few calls from him though.

That’s it catch up wise until late November now.

Got a message from the carpet man and it’s being fitted next Wednesday so I really must paint the skirting boards and banisters this weekend.

The most important question is we're you back in time to cook Mr SA's dinner? 😁

I'm happy to hear you had a good time with your friends.

Sounds like you have a busy weekend planned. I hope your decorating goes to plan but I have a horrible feeling something will go awry like either the dog or Mr SA knocking over the paint and walking it through the house ☹️

Morning all, happy Saturday 🥂

Yes @Baileys_Babe he got his fish and chips on time 😆 I got home around 4.30 and he tried to persuade me to start cooking then! Re Mr SA and the paint, I can guarantee he’ll forget and put his hand on the wet banister.

The plan today is to sand down the paintwork ready for painting tomorrow. DD is off work today so no point in painting today as she’s constantly up and down stairs. She’s been in the kitchen 3 times this morning already making endless cups of tea.

Mr SA is still in bed so it’s just me and the dog curled up on the sofa under a throw.

We have our flu jabs at lunchtime just at the local chemist. Mr SA will be worried about whether his lunch will be on time 😆

I don’t know if DS and co are visiting later.

Pizza, Prosecco and Strictly tonight 😍

Shocked but not surprised to hear about pension company @Sun_Addict. Is the union onto it? Also worth contacting your MP. Onwards and upwards love Humdinger xx

Yes the union are on it. Local MPs too. I’m not applying for my work pension until they’ve got their act together.

Ouch that jab hurt 😭 My arm is still sore.

Mr SA isn’t with it today, he keeps going into a trance and looking vacant. He got distracted in the chemist when things on the shelves caught his eye. Then he got completely distracted by Gr£ggs. I had to keep snapping him out of it.

I had to nip into S@vers so he waited outside. I left the bag of purchases on his scooter while I went in Mr T. I came out of there 5 minutes later and there was no sign of him. I phoned him and he was at home! I had to carry the milk and some bread rolls in my hands. When I got home he wasn’t there, he’d gone back out 😖

Anyway he’s gone back to bed now thank goodness. He’s hard work when he’s like this.

I'm glad he's gone to bed - much less stressful for you! I'm sorry your jab was painful. Mine was unbelievably easy and a week later, still no sign it was ever done. I hope it works!

I hope you can find something nice to distract you this afternoon. Have you got the stormy weather? In which case, why not grab a book and the dog and have a cosy read while all's quiet?

Time to enjoy that Prosecco and TV 😊

Morning all.

I hope no one has had a bad night with the storm. It’s windy but then that’s normal for round here.

DD has gone to work and Mr SA is still asleep so it’s just me and the dog again.

Won £1 on the lottery again.

I need to be more productive than I was yesterday as I really must paint the banister and skirting board in the hall/landing. Probably a couple of doors too.

I’ve booked 2 hours free electricity from 11am so need to make soup, banana bread and charge everything up. Also do a load of washing.

I also plan to clean the kitchen and bathroom.

The dog will need to go out this morning. She didn’t get her afternoon walk yesterday as it was so horrible out and she was playing up a bit last night.

Exercise will be dog walking, yoga and strength training.

Tonight’s dinner is a veggie traybake.

I’m hoping to get time to watch Hocus Pocus at some stage this afternoon 🧙

How on earth am I going to fit all that lot into one day 🤣

I don't know how you fit it all in. If I had all that painting to do, that would br the only job I'd do in 1 day.
