Happy birthday to doggo!2

Hope Mr SA is ok.
Our dog is 12 this year too. She was also a bit of a spur of the moment decision, but a good one. She and our other dog at the time got on really well."If you can dream it, you can do it". Walt Disney1 -
Morning all, happy Tuesday.
WFH today so a relaxing-ish start to the day apart from the dog deciding to get up and take over my cosy reading corner in the dining room so I just had a small space to sit in.
The Mr M delivery has been and all put away. One sub this week all butter muffins subbed for my usual wholemeal breakfast muffins so they've been sent back. I don't do all butter anything 🤢
Had to do a massive freezer tetris shuffle as I took advantage of the online only 10 frozen items for £10. It was a great offer as it included things like frozen sweet potato, sweetcorn cobs, baby carrots, spinach, leeks etc which will be very handy indeed to have in stock when I just want a handful of something. I need to find a tiny bit more space as the edamame beans are coming back in stock in Lid! on Thursday and I intend to buy 5 bags of those. I guess I won't be defrosting the small freezer anytime soon 😆
I have a hairdresser appointment this morning and I'm going to have a good couple of inches taken off the length in the hopes that it might make it a bit more manageable.
Today's exercise is walking to/from the hairdressers, bums & tums at lunchtime and resistance bands tonight.
Having a rethink about tonight's dinner as I was going to try a new recipe but might need to use something from the freezer, we'll see. I had fat free Skyr yoghurt with the last of the berries I bought on Friday for breakfast and I'm making a batch of lentil, carrot and swede soup for lunch which will last me for the rest of the week.
6 weeks today we'll be at the airport 😎

Hope Mr S A is OK after his dizzy turn.
The weighted hoops sound fun although I'm not sure what the advantage is over a normal one? It's a shame all the advertising for them plays up the weightloss aspects rathe than the enjoyment side of it though!
That's a good offer on the frozen stuff isn't it. I'm with you on liking having various frozen veggies in - they are so useful rather than needing to use up a full pack of fresh or having to try to find single items of the thing you want which isn't always workable.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

Happy birthday to the dog.
Ours was a spur of the moment decision as well. He needed a home so we gave him one. Must admit we also had a few "what have we done" moments in the first few months.
Hope Mr SA is ok after his funny turn.
That carrot looks like one we grew last year2 -
Mr SA is fine thanks. He often has funny turns it's mainly a concern when he's out on his scooter on his own.
Pleased to notice the mangetout and sugar snap seeds I planted in the non heated windowsill propagator are sprouting in abundance.
@EssexHebridean the weighted ball hoops are a lot easier to use and loads more fun. I'm still persevering with the proper hoop though.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2 -
I have a wii fit & it has an imaginery hula hoop. That has been great & since my hip op, which I always want to call my hip hop, I have done better with it than for ten years. Does this hoop work harder on your middle? Mine definitely needs reducing, which it doesn't seem to even if I lose weight.
