In router news, the one I bought the other day is being returned, as is the faulty one after an online chat with Am@zon and the new VM router has arrived today so that was quick. However I daren’t try setting it up while the WiFi is working with the original VM router as a modem. So back to the drawing board and will attempt to find a replacement WiFi repeater.In digging up the road news, one of the workmen assured Mr SA he’d board over the trench outside our driveway for the weekend so access can be gained. Mr SA told him we don’t have a car and the workman said no it’s in case you need an ambulance 🤣
The wind got up slightly on the walk home but nothing too bad so hopefully we’ll miss the storm. It’s been really sunny too so managed to get some towels dry outside. It’s always windy where we live with us being so high up with no wind break at the back so it’s hard to tell the difference 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)8 -
Forgot to say, as the 6 month regular saver matures on 5 February have asked them to reinvest £200 into a new 6 month regular saver and send the balance to the current account. So another thing sorted.Have also signed up to a free YT 30 day 10 minute yoga challenge that starts tomorrow (Sarah Beth Yoga). I’ve just received my printable calendar. As I’ve mentioned many times before I need to get back into yoga/Pilates.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4

I’m also trying to envisage stretchy plastics!!!As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
Fake it, to you Make It

That workman definitely had Mr SA sussed. Mind you he was probably worried about the aggro he would get if Mr SA's "personal vehicle" went into the hole.

Happy Saturday 🥂
Not an exciting day by any stretch of the imagination but quite a productive one.Coffee pods recycling dropped off at a local shop, WiFi extenders returned to Am@zon and already received refunds and soft plastic recycling taken to Mr T. Dog walk incorporated into aforementioned drop offs.
Mr SA is happy because I picked him up 2 pairs of joggers from Mr T as they had 25% off clothing. I was going to pick him some up the other week at full price but decided to wait for the next 25% off weekend.This morning’s live Salsacise was plagued by tech issues yet again so did a YT workout followed by day 1 of the yoga challenge.Gave the kitchen a good clean when Mr SA went for his post lunch siesta.Pizza, Prosecco and Masked Singer tonight 🙂I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7 -

I am unfortunately now hooked on The Masked Singer too much to Mr ES disgust who is not a fan.
