Progress not Perfection

Happy holidays.  The run up to your holiday and all the things you have been doing to prepare sounds exhausting.  Hopefully choosing sunglasses distracts from the necklace 😎

Thank you all 🙂 He has now spilled beer on the rug in the living room 😞 I’m not joking he’s an absolute nightmare. 

Adds steam scrub rug to tomorrow’s to do list.

It never ends.  I would pour it over his head.

Sounds like a good idea but then it would be all over both his clothes and the floor.  This is a no win scenario.

Morning all, happy Monday.

WFH today thank goodness as it's raining. Got a very busy day as breaking up for holiday today. I don't usually work the day  before we go away but needs must due to being so busy.  I have a meeting that I'm minuting this morning then I need to write the notes up. I also have a long to do list before I log off but hoping to get that cleared before the meeting. Hopefully I should be able to finish a bit earlier than normal. 

Closed the 4 week budget period this morning a week early. Only £108.93 left in there so there wouldn't have been much of an underspend had we not been going on holiday. However I've been buying a few extra holiday bits and last week's food shop was bigger than normal because of the extra pet food. £8.93 has been sent to the Christmas pot and £100 to the holiday pot. 

The Ibiza holiday balance is payable tomorrow so as soon as we're back from Lanzarote the countdown will begin to Ibiza 😎

It will be a very low spend day as I need to go out and change a £10 note so I have some change to give the taxi driver for a tip IF and only IF he helps at the airport rather than watch me struggle with the cases. Some are really helpful but others seem to be glued to their seats. I'm just going to buy a pack of 59p stomach tablets for Mr SA from Savers and use the £10 note.

Today's exercise will be dog walking this morning before the meeting and I'll find a lunchtime session to join on YT or FitOn. I'm not doing my usual hooping class tonight as I want to have a bath and relax ready for tomorrow.

Tonight's dinner is a fridge up some leftover roast veg with some passata and pesto that needs using. I'll add that to some pasta. 

This time tomorrow we'll be at the airport - eek!

Have a good day & hope you get everything done and have an easy trip to the airport. Is it EMA? I thought you lived roughly in my area. If so, its an easy airport, isn't it?  We haven't flown for over 5yrs, I miss the excitement of airports

Getting change for things like that are becoming a bit of a nightmare.  The cash machines round here never even have £10 notes in them.

Yes we fly from EMA it's only 14 miles away from us, can even see it from my back garden. We often used Birmingham in the past but now we don't have transport it's a lot more expensive taxi wise.

Ugh! Still ploughing my way through the work! The falls team arrived earlier than Mr SA said they were coming and I'm trapped in the dining room with the dog as the physio doesn't like dogs. I haven't got dressed yet as was planning to just as they arrived! I was hoping to finish work around 2-ish but that's not going to happen.
