To add - PA wise I realised I hadn’t completed my profile which probably explains why I’ve not been getting many surveys. All done now and already got more coming through, although none I fancy, I’m quite fussy 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3

Happy Friday 🥳
Finally got to meet my Scottish team mate today. I didn’t recognise her as she looked completely different to her online work photo. I nearly said who are you when she came up to me but I recognised her voice 🤣
Good job I don’t sit with her on a regular basis as we’d never get any work done, we both have plenty to say 😆
Finished early as usual for a Friday then Mr SA met me at Lid! to help with the shopping. We needed a sack of potatoes plus other heavy things so loaded up his scooter. Picked up dishwasher tablets worth £4.89 for the free cleaning item.Caught 3 snails eating my courgettes 😞 All have been relocated to the banks at the bottom of the garden where there is plenty of vegetation for them to eat. Really annoyed as they’ve munched their way through several baby courgettes. Mr SA has now raised the container on bricks which seemed to work last year.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5 -

Happy Saturday 🥂
Went to the big (ish) Mr T this morning with the soft plastics recycling. Annoying that some of the things I wanted to pick up weren’t available at this branch as they only carry a selection of items not the full range. The nearest proper big Mr T is miles away 😞
Made use of the free electricity hour this afternoon and charged up the 🦈 and my iPad. Also ran the dishwasher and washing machine on a maintenance clean and steam scrubbed all the floors.Had a wander down to a local CS after that as they were doing 10 books for £1. I know I don’t really need to add to my vast to be read pile but that was an offer too good to resist so came away with a great selection.Today’s exercise has been walking to/from Mr T then back to the high street later. Just over 15k steps.Tonight’s dinner is Mexican veggie burger, wedges and salad.Pink Prosecco is chilling in the fridge.Need to find something to watch on TV tonight as the main channels seem to think everyone wants to watch football, tennis or ancient film. That will be a battle with Mr SA as we rarely like to watch the same thing 😐I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5 -
Would be rude not to contribute to charity at that price, 10 books for a quid 😲😍
Is there anything on iplayer you could watch? Any Glasto sets you missed, or me and Mr PIP loved Magpie Murders and the follow up series Moonflower Murders
Dinner and pink prosecco sounds lush 🥂2 -

Forgot to add I repatriated no less than 8 snails from my courgettes this afternoon. It’s such a shame as there are around 20 courgettes almost ready to crop, the little 🤬 Anyway they’ve been relocated over the banks at the back of my house where there is ample vegetation for them to munch on. I’ve moved the tub the courgettes are in further away from the wall I think the snails are climbing up. Why don’t snails and slugs eat weeds for goodness sake 😖I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6
