That’s Joe’s workout and a long walk with the dog done. I feel better for it and I picked up a loaf from the Co-op while we were out so that’s saved me a trip tomorrow. I can now relax with my book again as Mr SA has gone for his siesta.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)1

I’ve started our holiday countdown even tho it’s not till September, our first cruise, so definitely start your countdown, got to have something to look forward to. We were out yesterday for Xmas at the pub with family, don’t think we will do it again. Prefer my Xmas dinners. Invited the family to ours today, hoping all would say that they would stay at home. It didn’t work, they are all coming and there will be football on the tv. Roll on tomorrow when hopefully I will have a quiet day. The thought of sitting down and reading a book is so appealing.x:j Debtfree and and staying that way.:j3-6 month emergency fund, No.61 £140.001

Hate to be a wet blanket but I make it 119. 5+31+29+31+23. Of course you could count the last as only 22. In which case 118 it is. It is only envy!

Morning. Happy Twixtmas 😆
Glad I put the bin out as the bin men have just been. Couldn’t see anyone else’s out but hadn’t notified of a change in day.Also glad I booked the rest of the week off as leave or I would’ve been back in the office today. Not ready for that yet!The weather doesn’t look great so it will be a case of taking the dog to the park across the road between showers I think. I need to do some cleaning today and sort out Mr SA’s wardrobe as he’s got it into a right mess with clothes just piled up in a heap.The live Zumba session is back on tonight so looking forward to that, it always puts a smile on my face. Dance like no one is watching - it’s a good job they aren’t 🤣
Need to sort out a meal plan and gradually start getting back to normal.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)1 -
Our bin day should be Friday but it's been changed to Wednesday next week. Not sure how we are going to fit everything in it. It's almost full now!0
