Morning all, the weekend is in sight again.

WFH today already got a load of washing done as the weather looks good today.

I seem to have got lots of places to go that are nowhere near each other. I forgot I was going straight to the vets after work tomorrow to pick up flea treatment and this has thrown out my planned visit to Lid! on the way home. There is a Lid! near the vets but it's a bit hit and miss plus it only has 2 checkouts so is a very slow process. I must be in the minority in that I much prefer self checkouts. I like to check the prices going through and make sure my app has scanned properly. 

I also need to return a sweatshirt to Mr S that I bought last week, although it's a size small it's huge. I'm disappointed as I really love it but it doesn't come in extra small unfortunately. 

This weekend I really must offload the soft plastics recycling at Mr T and I also have 3 bags of coffee pods recycling to drop off at a local shop. 

Thinking about how I can fit all this in with work. I do have over 15 hours flexi accumulated so maybe I should stop being so tight with it and use some of it to get stuff done. I'm the same with my flexi as my savings pots, I like adding to it but not spending it 😆

Mr SA is at the doctors later for his blood test and is moaning like mad about it. Re DD, she needs to overhaul her lifestyle in my opinion. She takes no exercise, plays online games until the early hours, hardly ever goes outside apart from going to work and eats a lot of ready meals with very little veg. She's heading towards 40 now and still living like a teenager, it's bound to take it's toll at some stage. She's the complete opposite of me. 

Today's exercise plan is dog walking when Mr SA gets back, a live full body toning class at lunchtime and live Zumba at 5.30. I did a short 5 minutes meditation early this morning which was very relaxing. I'm thinking about turning the dog walk into the visit to Lid!. Although she obviously prefers the park it's a good street walk for her and she likes to sniff different pavements. 

Tonight's dinner is harissa prawn orzo, an old favourite. I'm at the stage where I need to starting using up fridge stocks with the holiday fast approaching. There are 12 evening meals between now and take off so I'm going to work out a meal plan to use everything up.

I'm with you on self checkouts, I prefer to do it myself.

I like self checkouts too. Easier to pack when it isn’t being thrown at you 😁

I always try to go to the same chap on the checkout at Lil's as he's very good, always has a chat, and doesn't scrunch all the shopping down the checkout at you if you go a bit slower on the packing!

If I remember correctly I could only carry forward 15 hours flexi each period.

Hope Mr SA's blood test results are useful, and DDs too when she has hers. Could she be put on any dog walking duties so she at least gets some extra exercise/outside time even if it's just ten minutes or so?

We are allowed to carry forward 22 hours.

Unfortunately she suffers quite badly with agoraphobia and anxiety as well as epilepsy. These are the main issues with her leaving the house. I do wonder if she's getting herself worked up about us leaving her on her own while we're away. The GP told her she thought her illness was related to anxiety.
