Progress not Perfection

Great to see how your balances are coming down.

my dad is a VM customer and I endeavour to communicate with them on his behalf as he is 95, a bit deaf, poor eyesight and very, very intolerant to multiple security questions.  His initials are ER and I often get calls asking me if they are speaking to "er" which is an unusual name and a giveaway and so I say yes I'm er, answer the security questions including a date of birth which makes me 95.  They really are the worst company to deal with.

also, I recall from data protection type training that WhatsApp shouldn't be used for business purposes but presumably that's changed as lots of companies are using it now.

A quiet weekend for us as well. Looking forward too it.

I got a better deal with VM a few months ago for £30 a month and an o2 SIM card for £6 a month but I got letters today saying the VM is going up by £6 and o2 by £2 😟

You need to haggle that price down. Tell them you’ve see a better deal elsewhere.

Happy Saturday 🥂

Not a lot happening here today. I’ve got a live ClubFit class at 8.45 then I’ll be going to the big Mr T for a paper and to drop off the soft plastic recycling. Mr SA and the dog will come with me so the dog will get a good walk. 

My lovely peaceful morning has just been shattered by Mr SA getting up far too early 🙁 It’s going to be a long day. 

Weekly weigh in done and I’ve somehow managed to lose another 2lbs. I fully expected to put some of the weight I lost from Norovirus back on as I’ve been eating normally all week. I was so shocked I got back on and off the scales to double check. Still I’m not complaining as it means I’m only 4lbs away from my holiday goal weight with 7 weeks to lose it. Yes 7 weeks tomorrow we go to Lanzarote 🥳

If the weather is dry this weekend I’d like to have another go at tidying the garden. The greenhouse could do with a good clean and tidy plus the purple sprouting broccoli is about ready to eat finally (started off from seed well over a year ago). 

Tonight’s dinner is chickpea, tomato and spinach curry from a Joe Wicks cookbook. I have a load of cherry tomatoes that need using up.

Curry sounds great. 
You've inspired me to buy a battery for my scales!
Enjoy your day

Re dates of birth...I once tried to.book into a swimming pool via my mobile.   It wouldn't let me specify any dob apart from that day, then kept saying I was too young to swim.  I agree but I would have been a very advanced infant to type in my name and address, no?! Luckily when I turned up, they found it hilarious and let me and my friend in for nothing as we couldn't clear the website of the false info.  Full of admiration for you @Sun_Addict as ever love Humdinger xx

As I’ve mentioned many times before Mr SA isn’t very good at frugality. I fished out a tube of his face moisturiser from the bin and cut the top off to prove to him just how much product was still inside. His response was I’m taking things too far 😐 On the plus side he’s actually using up the rest of the cream. Also another win on the long standing saga of his blooming lipsyls, he has reluctantly tried Lid! own make and miraculously prefers them. They’re much cheaper and easier to source so very happy with that 🥳
