The earlier they start the earlier they finish. 👍
Love the idea of the weighted hula hoop. I’d love to try one but don’t think I’d be able to do it….don’t think my tummy muscles are up to it.January spends - £587.582 -
It’s really easy to do honestly. I thought I’d ache as it’s something new but not at all. I’ve seen where people have had to remove links after using them because their waists have got smaller.milann said:The earlier they start the earlier they finish. 👍

Had a delivery this afternoon one thing was the free cookbook from the magazine subscription and the other was a mini greenhouse that’s going by the wall on the patio. We had one of these years ago and did well growing things in it, although mainly the older cat took up residence on one of the shelves 🤣 I thought this would be a good addition to the proper greenhouse. My main aim is to get Mr SA interested in growing things again like he used to be pre illness. He’s been tasked with putting it together tomorrow 😬
I gave Mr SA £10 to keep in his wallet yesterday just so he’s got some cash on him. It’s burning a hole in his wallet and he’s thinking of ways to spend it. This is why I don’t let him get involved in the finances. I even dreamt last night he’d bought a designer scarf for £1000 on the credit card - I was livid 🤣

Morning all, happy Friday eve. Another working week almost done.
WFH today and have enjoyed some quiet time reading my book with a coffee - apart from the cats fighting that is!
Today's exercise is dog walking later this morning, a live HIIT class at lunchtime and a live class Zumba tonight.
Tonight's dinner is an old favourite harissa prawn orzo.
Money-wise it will be NSD2 of March.
Housework tasks are washing, ironing and giving the bathroom a good clean. Mr SA is going to assemble the new mini greenhouse which no doubt means I'm assembling it!I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7 -
Hope the greenhouse goes well. I keep thinking of getting one, but need to work out where I'd put it.Making the debt go down and savings go up
