Halfway through doing my ClubFit class tonight and Mr SA shuffled in questioning the whereabouts of his dinner and beer. Happy Valentine’s 😐I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2

Goodness how on earth do you put up with that from Mr SA.
We do precisely nothing for Valentines day. I went to Book Club tonight and DH went to train club. Neither of us are particularly romantic though although DH always buys me flowers for my birthday which is a few days prior to 14th February. He moans though that the florists hike the prices.

Morning all, the weekend is in sight!
In the office today. Woke up at 4.30 needing the loo and decided to stay up. It was nice to have a leisurely breakfast reading my book for half an hour before getting ready for work. One of the cats had kindly pooped in the bath so had that to clear up.
It feels really mild out today, had to unzip my jacket on the walk into work.
Finishing work at 1pm to meet my friend, I have 6 books for her. Looking forward to a catch up.
The VM engineer arrived at 8am and from what I can gather from Mr SA's scant information is that he's replaced some wires and a box outside as they were worn so that's why the WiFi was dipping in and out.
Today's exercise is walking to/from work and a body conditioning class later.
No idea what I'm having for dinner tonight as forgot to look at my meal planner before I left the house 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5 -
Have a nice afternoon with your friend.
Who says the spirit of romance has gone? Mr SA is a credit to romantics everywhere 😉1
