Morning all 😎
Been up since the crack of dawn as the young cat was being really naughty trying to get me out of bed to feed her. This upset the dog so it was chaos!It should finally be a NSD today, the first one of the month 🥳
Planning a pottering about day today to include some self care time for me. I’ve already had a hair mask on and later will do a yoga session, apply a face mask and relax in the bath followed by painting my toenails.I need to make a list of ingredients for next week’s meal plan. I’m glad I made one for the whole month although it may need to be tweaked slightly to accommodate stuff that needs using up. Tonight’s dinner is Moroccan style vegan cottage pie, a WW recipe that I’ve made before some time ago. Also making a batch of spiced courgette soup for work lunches.Exercise will be dog walking and the yoga session.If I can get the dog off my knee I might be able to make a start on things 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)8 -

You should be on commission: yet again I've looked up a recipe you're making (the WW vegan cottage pie) and I'm making a note to try it.

Mr SA will never win any awards for being MSE. He handed me an “empty” tube of face cream informing me it was empty and he needed some more. I promptly cut the end off the tube revealing plenty left inside. He called me a tight fisted so and so, however he’s using it!Then he had a message from his mobile company telling him he needs to call them to review his data plan as he’s using too much. I switched off his data as he’s in the house all day sitting right next to the router. Apparently he switched it back on as he needs it to read the news! Had to explain to him he can read the news over WiFi. Goodness knows what news sites he’s looking at as the other day he announced the shock (to him) news a celebrity had died who’d actually been dead 3 years!Bangs head against brick wall 😫I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5
