    Do you think it disappeared while you were on holiday or since you got home?  Not that it makes much difference as either way that is not on

    So upsetting as you'll feel violated.  Lets hope that Karma swings into action and these thieves get exactly what the deserve!  
    I Believe.....
    That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
    Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

    happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
    but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy

    It was overnight or this morning. It was definitely there yesterday. The house wasn’t left empty while we were away as DD lives with us.

    I realise it’s probably asking for trouble putting things in the front garden but this has been there a good few years. We have a huge drive which we had block paved several years ago when we had a car and a van. All I wanted to do was add a little interest and make it look better as it looks a bit bare now we don’t have vehicles. Thanks to thieving bar stewards apparently I can’t 😡

    Morning all, happy Sunday 🙂

    Today’s major task is cleaning the house. I got loads done in the garden yesterday and the garden waste bin is now full again. It already looks so much better. Mr SA insisted on helping but this mainly consisted of him sitting in a chair wearing gardening gloves and not doing a lot else 😐

    Final day of the 4 week budget period and it will be another NSD. 

    I need to draw up a meal plan for next week. Still on a use it up mission. 

    Tonight’s dinner is tuna pasta bake, joining the live WW cook along for this. Have had to dig deep in the freezer for Mr SA’s dinner and found some stewing beef so that can go in the slow cooker. Oh and there’s leftover cava too 🥂

    Did a PA survey at 6am about Covid and it went off at a tangent with some maths probability questions, not the best time of the day for thinking too hard and I was in bed so didn’t have a pen and paper, hopefully won’t stop me getting paid if I’ve messed them up 😬 Have got just over £30 in there although a lot is still pending.

    Why would people stoop low enough to take a plant out of your garden 😡 Annoys me so much that folk just think they can take anything whether it belongs to them or not.
    Bet Mr SA enjoyed his outing in his chair.

    Got everything done off my list so pleased about that. Just made the tuna pasta bake and it’s lovely. Made two portions so one for another day. Also made a batch of harissa spiced chickpea and lentil soup for work lunches. 

    Once I’ve packed the dinner pots away the plan is to watch Jamie Oliver with a glass of wine then go to bed early ready for work tomorrow.

    Forgot to say since I started administering the world’s most expensive £40 😱 ear drops to the dog  she’s stopped flapping and scratching her ear so much so hopefully they’re working and so they should be at £40 😱 She’s so good bless her and lets me put them in no problem. Can’t imagine the ordeal if it was one of the diva cats 😬
