    Forgot to say I picked up my free coffee from Gr£ggs courtesy of 🐙 on the way to work. I think I’ve got the hang of this free coffee lark now 😆

    Mr SA 😞 Got home to coffee spilled on the kitchen worktop plus inside the microwave. Finally sat down tonight and noticed the living room floor was wet. “Oh that’s where I spilled my beer” said Mr SA 😬 So that was me back up again to fetch the mop. 

    Finalised the Mr M delivery for tomorrow and as I’ve got £50 off in vouchers decided to split it £25 this week and £25 next week. 

    DD went back to work today although I heard her coughing in the night. She’s not back home yet so assume she must be feeling a bit better.

    Blimey. I did not realise that Mr SA drank through the day. That would wind me up.
