    Keep up your gallivanting, SA, he gets most of your time and attention so he's just having a sulk. And I expect your friends enjoy it as much as you do!

    I agree. Mr SA is very lucky that you don't do this!

  • Just catching up with your diary.

    Sorry to hear Mr SA has been a nuisance in more ways than one. Hopefully he will let you have a quiet spell again now.

    Big virtua hugs heading your way.
  • You definitely need your friends for socialising & getting time off from Mr SA. I don't think I could do what you do, you're an inspiration......especially doing so many steps a day as well.

    My Fitbit charges in about half an hour, I usually charge it first thing in the morning now. Might save you getting woken overnight if you time how long it takes, though I'm thinking my old one took a lot longer so it may vary between models.

    I need to turn off the alarm on days I'm WFH, I must've set it for every weekday by mistake! I think it charges up pretty quickly on the whole.
