We each have our own. Shame Mr LH frequently can't find his2

I got cracking and ticked everything off my list once I’d logged off. Then it was time for resistance bands training, then dinner. Finally sat down at 8pm to watch Jamie Oliver on catch up and fell asleep 😖 Awake now but off to bed in a bit. Will be dreaming about tape measures tonight no doubt 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5

Hope you took precautions when using the tape measure and followed all current elf and safety rules……the spring loaded ones are dangerous tools dontcha know 🤔 I know I’ve had a sting in the finger when they’ve sprung back quickly with a snap 😂January spends - £587.582

Tell him it is a dress making tape measure. He will never touch it again.

Happy hump day.
Worked in the office until just after lunchtime, just need to finish the last stretch from home.
Picked up a free coffee from N£r0. Stopped off at Lid! on the way home from work, hadn't realised the 15% of facial skincare included the lip balms Mr SA likes so bought 4 before the offer ends today. Also picked up 2 butternut squashes as it's the last day of them being cheaper too. I thought I'd planted butternut squash seeds this year but the only seed that germinated out of what I thought was them is very obviously an aubergine.
Talking of plants, I thought the sole courgette plant that survived had finished but it's producing again. Have picked loads just off the one plant. I need to plan better for next year.
Today's exercise has been walking to/from work and I'll be doing my beloved Zumba class at 6pm. Talking of Zumba, this week's Spotify Discover Weekly playlist, where it makes a weekly playlist for you of songs it thinks you might like, was almost entirely Zumba/Latino songs apart from the odd random track namely Peter Andre's Mysterious Girl and Billy Joel's Uptown Girl. I was so tempted to start doing the Uptown Girl dance in the middle of the street at 7am 🤣 Just noticed it's now randomly made me a Latin mix playlist, that's Friday's walking soundtrack sorted 😆
Tonight's dinner is leftover butternut squash dhal from Saturday with rice.

My daily playlist today included a healthy dose of Rick Astley 😉2

Oh my days, took my make up off this evening only to realise I’d used a purple eyeliner on my eyebrows instead of my eyebrow pencil. Well no one noticed I’ve had purple eyebrows all day, not even me 🤣 My saving grace is that my fringe needs cutting so it covered them somewhat.
In money news did a quick midweek check of finances, paid off the cc balance and sent an oddment of £6.99 to the Christmas pot.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6 -
That's funny. Good job your fringe covered it!

You can do anything if you put your mind to it. x1 -
If you go in tomorrow and there are other violet eyebrows around, you not only got noticed, you are a trend setter. ☺️I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
