    My goodness here you are doing all this activity while over here I can quite easily see me not getting out for an after work run for the second night on the trot! :lol:  

    It was frosty and icy with us this morning too - thankfully MrEH remembered to put the windscreen cover on his car last night, and we saw the horribly icy patch on the main road out of town before we hit it - which is more than the 4 other cars strewn around the roundabout slip road did, it would seem!

    Definitely not running outdoors weather. Thank goodness you noticed the icy patch, what a shock for those drivers who didn’t.

    Thank you for the whistlefish info.  I've managed to get all my birthday cards for the year and some lovely wrapping paper which was also on deal.  I really like some of their art too but walked away before my shopping basket got even more full.

    Happy hump day!

    Have been in the office this morning now finishing my day from home.

    It was treacherous underfoot this morning and I felt myself slip a couple of times. It's been a beautiful sunny day though and at least we don't have snow. 

    Not a lot to report really. Today is NSD 6 and I've sent 87p to the 1p savings challenge pot. 

    Exercise is the walking to and from work, just over 16,000 steps, and I will be doing a live Zumba class at 6pm so will end the day on well over 20,000 steps. So very good to have my FitBit back in action 😁

    Morning, happy Thursday.

    WFH today. It looks like another cold and frosty day out there. Thankful we don't have snow though.

    I'm taking the young cat for her annual check up and booster at the vets today. It won't be a NSD as I'll have to get taxis there and back. I also need to buy the dog a new collar from the pet shop there.

    Today's exercise will be a step target of 15,000 plus a live lunchtime upper body and arms weights session. I'm going to find a walking workout on YT to cover some of the steps plus will try and get out with the dog at some point. Mr SA takes the dog on the park when I'm working but I try and get if I can spare 30 minutes.

    Tonight's dinner is a portion of the spiced butternut squash stew with herb dumplings left over from Monday.

    Does the cat get into the cat basket easily. We used to have a nightmare when we had a cat….and the dog used to put the anchors on as soon as we were near the vets. We used to park the car a walk away and approach from different streets…..but they still knew 😂

    She got in the basket quite willingly this morning but wouldn’t come out when we got to the vets.  She curled into a tight ball while the vet was trying to examine her 😆
