Do you think he was doing it in the hope of disrupting your meeting? Tell him if he interferes with your work you won't get paid and he won't get any beer or treats. I'm sorry you have to put up with this3

@Sun_Addict - I sometimes wonder if some of this is because Mr SA gets bored & starts sort of looking for stuff to do.

oh how worrying for you. Although it does sound like the kind of thing that happens if I so much as look at a screwdriver so it isn't just Mr SA.

Oh No! Mr SA strikes again. Good luck with the interviewing and hope Mr SA stays well out of the way.

Just wanted to say thanks for the code. That is the first time I have ever done anything like that. Life is a permenant learning curve.

The thought of Mr SA with a screwdriver near electrics is very sobering. Be afraid - be very afraid....🫣Finally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟

Morning all, happy hump day.
WFH again today and it will be extremely busy with interviews in the morning and afternoon plus a board meeting I'm taking notes at in between! I'll be glad when today and tomorrow are done so I can catch up with my day job although I'm helping out at an event on Friday. Never a dull moment working here 😆
Mr SA will have to be on taking the dog out duties today although I might get a small opportunity around lunchtime where I have an hour's break between the meeting and the next interview or possibly between the first interview and the meeting as there's 45 minutes break.
So exercise today will be dog walking whenever I can fit it in plus Zumba at 6pm. Aiming for 15,000 steps today.
I messaged the builder last night and he says he's sorting out the quote for DD's room and the dining room.
In money news I really need to do something about the VM bill as it's gone up by another £7 since last month when the 18 months contract ran out and went up to the full amount. I'm now paying £30 a month more than I was which isn't good so I need to shop around and/or haggle them back down again.
Managed to sort out the freezers last night and the only thing I couldn't fit back in was a portion of veggie lasagne so that's tonight's dinner with some salad.
In between finishing work and Zumba I really must clean and tidy the bedroom. Mr SA has piled clothes, bags and shoes up all over and it's starting to look messy. Combined with that some of the winter clothes bags still need emptying so aim to finish that.
Mr SA is on a warning about behaving himself while I'm working today although most of the interviews are this afternoon at the time he usually has his siesta. DD will be at work so I don't have to worry about her floating around in the background either. I will blur my background on the video and the mic is set not to pick up background noise so shouldn't be too much of an issue if he does appear.

That must be so hard to fit to manage and the fact your worrying about it too must put you on edge.
Hope it all goes well.xSeptember 2017 Debt = £25330
