Progress not Perfection

Glad you’re warm again.

Just a quick one as I’m absolutely shattered tonight. I organised a large event at work and have been on the go all day. I talked so much my lipstick wore off 😆 By the time I’d got home I don’t think I could’ve walked another step. Got straight in the bath for a relaxing soak. It will definitely be an early night tonight. The event went well - I’m pleased as I’ve been organising it since last year. 

So glad I’m WFH tomorrow. 

I’m gutted because WW are winding up their online shop where I buy my goodies from. How will I survive without their Belgian praline bars 😢

SA have you got a heron or b & m near you I usually buy the weight watchers bars in there 99pence

Sounds as if you may need to stock up and somehow hide them from Mr SA in case he decides that he suddenly likes them!

I’ve just found out B00ts does the praline bars. They are very tiny but delicious 😋 

@SusieT they’re not big enough to attract interest from Mr SA, they wouldn’t even hit the sides 🤣

Glad your event went well. Have a nice relaxing evening 😊

I slept like a log last night, fell asleep the minute my head hit the pillow just before 10pm and woke up at 6.30am, good job I'm WFH as I usually leave the house at that time.

This morning I was just walking down the garden and thinking I must do something about 2 very tall trees that have got out of hand before they start sprouting leaves. Can you believe this lunchtime a tree surgeon knocked on the door and said he was working at a neighbours and noticed them. Anyway he quoted me £500 to completely remove them and take them away. I thought that didn't sound too bad so he's actually cutting them down as I type. I usually shop around for quotes but knew I'd end up dithering about getting them so thought just go for it. It will make the garden a lot lighter at the bottom as they block out a lot of light. I hate to chop trees down but it needed doing desperately. 

So that's £500 I wasn't planning to spend today but will shuffle a few pots around as it was on my to do list for this year.

Took the dog on the park this morning and she had a great time chasing after her ball. This lunchtime I did a live weights class and I'll do another workout after work or go for a walk to get my steps up to 15,000.

Well that was spooky! It will be lovely to have lots more light when they are gone. You could always plant a couple of small height trees to even it out. Small fruit trees would be good as they’d pay for their keep 😁

We had to have some trees shortened and the tree surgeon made a lot of the wood into logs which, now they've dried for a year or two, go on our log burner. The bits that he had to shred were able to mulch a back lane which saved his disposal costs. Just saying in case you have friends with log burners!

Yes he said the logs would be great for a log burner. Unfortunately we don't know anyone who has one.
