Good that an appointment has been sorted for Mr SA to address falls etc. The last think you need is for you to be injured trying to get him up. No snow here. We did an 8 mile lovely sunny walk today over the fields and round the coast with my U3a walking group.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free Wannabe, Budgeting and Banking and Savings and Investment boards.

milann said:OBL not sure if you know anyone with a c@stc@ card. Both myself and ds bought a Gormia air fryer from there. £42 when we bought them and they’re brilliant. We both use them a lot.I’d previously bought a tower one but it wasn’t really big enough so we take that in the motorhome with us.Lancashire

Morning all.
Well I must be losing the plot. Had a message from Mr M this morning to say my delivery was on its way. I thought it must've been a delayed message from yesterday so was puzzled to see it was dated today. Checked my orders on the app and yes it was arriving this morning! I could've sworn I'd booked it for next Tuesday. Fortunately it was just a small holding order and everything on it is non perishable apart from the milk so I'm going to have to find space for it in the freezer. On the plus side I need to do another freezer audit so it will spur me on to get this done today.
Bang goes the planned NSD 🤣
Also a good job I'm WFH again today as the order came at 7 and I would normally be long gone out of the house by then. I've swapped my WFH days about this week as I need to be in the office tomorrow and Friday. This has totally thrown me out with days - it doesn't take much.
Exercise plans for today: dog walking later this morning, a live move & motivate session at lunchtime and Zumba tonight.
Tonight's dinner will be a portion of veggie lasagne from the freezer with salad.
Housework tasks: the usual ironing, freezer audit and cleaning the bedroom and living room.
Hoping for a quieter working day as I have loads to catch up on before it all kicks off again tomorrow. Feel like putting my do not disturb on 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5 -
We have a Philip's air fryer that we have had for years now. It's at least six years. It is brilliant and we use it most days.
In fairness it is probably getting ready for replacing. It's getting difficult to clean now but we can't fault it and would certainly look to get another Philips one.1 -
Very discombobulating when things happen on the wrong day - but at least it's 'bought' you an NSD in the future.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
The sun's been out and I think I’m solar powered (Onebrokelady)
