I too love rainbows. Does everyone have the urge to say "oh look, a rainbow" or similar? 

Have you ever seen a sundog? It's where the rainbow appears to go upwards.

Even when I’m alone 🤭 I’ve seen a moon bow, but not a sun dog…that sounds amazing.

Found this photo of a double rainbow from a few years ago in Lanzarote 🌈

Morning happy Sunday. 

The clocks going forward always throws me out, I hate it, which is why I’ve booked tomorrow off work. 

Today should be NSD 8. Might squeeze a couple more in by the end of the month. Will cash out survey money later, have exceeded my target of £10. 

Received final holiday confirmation this morning, we go 4 weeks today 🥳

Need to take the dog out, clean the bathroom and do some Spanish lessons. 

Self care Sunday things are hair mask (done), manicure, face pack and a stretch class. I’d quite like to have a chilled day if I can. 

I’m finally going to dig out a vegan wellington from the freezer for dinner tonight. I’m not sure whether I’ll like it as I’m not keen on pastry but it needs using up. It was free with a Mr M order at the end of last year so not the end of the world if I don’t like it. 

There is also leftover Prosecco 🥂

The vegan wellington was nice but I wouldn’t buy it especially. The pastry was very thin and more like a wrap than pastry. I cooked the whole thing, cut into 4 then re-froze 3 portions. 

Watched 2 episodes of Happy Valley series 3 just 2 more to go and that’s me caught up. So so good 😊 

Cashed out £10.77 from surveys. Annoyingly 1p away from being able to cash out on PA. Hit my target of £10 anyway.

We loved Happy Valley.

We watched it far too quickly

Morning all, happy Monday, here we go again with another new week and yet another new month at the end of it.

Day off today thank goodness as I didn't wake up until after 6am. My body clock is still an hour behind. I'm WFH tomorrow and Wednesday so by the time I'm back in the office on Thursday I should've caught up with myself. I will need to log on for a brief meeting at 4pm as it's part of my D&I voluntary role and I want to make sure I'm not "volunteered" for anything major in my absence.

Woke up this morning to no heating and the electrics were off in the kitchen. Thankfully all sorted with the flick of the fuse box trip switch. I forgot to tell DD not to use the ninja oven as it tripped the electrics yesterday, I think it may have got a bit of wet in it and needs to dry out thoroughly before using. The freezer was off but luckily nothing has defrosted. 

Finances checked, CC cleared of last week's spends and £6.49 shuffled to the 1p savings challenge. Not a lot happening until payday. This week is the last week of the 4 week budget period.

I need to go to Lid! today. I have a £5 off £30 spend and we need some compost and a few other things so might spend that amount. I'll see if there's anything I can get from there instead of the Mr M delivery tomorrow. 

Mr SA's scooter is going in for a service this afternoon. It's been ok since he was warned to be more careful with it or he would have to be reassessed as to his suitability to drive it. Bearing in mind he was thinking he could get his drivers licence back!

Exercise today will be the long walk to and from Lid! and I'm going to find a FitOn class for later. 

Tonight's dinner is leftover butternut squash dhal from Saturday.

Ooh, compost! What a good idea! For some reason I didn't think of that when you mentioned the garden offers over on my thread.

It's good that your freezer stayed okay - and at least you know it won't have been off for long. Our water has unexpectedly gone off this morning: before we went away they were putting a new main in (water pressure has been low for years and someone finally got their voice heard) so we came back to two days of normal water pressure - which feels like a nice surprise when you're not used to it! Here's hoping we have it again in an hour or so.

It's reassuring that Mr SA's scooter hasn't needed extra help. Perhaps the warning took effect? Also, perhaps you might brief the service person to give him a further warning in case he now goes back to his old ways!

And I hope you manage not to get 'volunteered' for something you don't want to do!
