Progress not Perfection

I love that it's getting cooler, though the CH won't be going on until 1st October. I expect there will still be warmer days to come in September. There usually are. Remember when we went back to school at the beginning of September & generally spent the 1st couple of weeks sweltering in our new uniforms?

At least if they're dodgy travellers you have somewhere to send your delinquents so you can litter pick your park in peace 😁

I'm with Foxgloves in loving the cooler weather. 

Sorry to hear of traveller woes at least the ones we had here were reasonably civilised except with bathroom habits.

I’m hating the cooler weather, was at a funeral today and the trees there  have all dropped there leaves !  I’m contemplating lighting the log burner as I refuse the CH yet !

Evening all.

Day off work today and I’ve been super busy as I was aware I won’t have time to get anything much done tomorrow and Saturday. 

Went to Lid! first thing and managed to grab a couple of bags of the XXL frozen berries for my overnight oats. Mr SA enjoyed his free apple turnover. I’ve only got one more free bakery item to pick up now as the offer has ended. 

After that came home and cleaned the whole house. That took the best part of the day as everywhere got a thorough clean and then I steam scrubbed all the hard floors. Thankfully DD was out of the way at work but Mr SA was constantly shuffling in and out of the house and from room to room which was annoying. 

The back of the seat fell off Mr SA’s scooter so that’s gone for repair. Fortunately the shop brought him a courtesy scooter so he’s not without one. 

Exercise was walking to/from Lidl!, a lunchtime kettlebell session and Zumba tonight. 

Tonight’s dinner was smoked basa with cauliflower, leek and lentil rice. 

Just painted my nails ready for my lunch out tomorrow.

You've mentioned using the 'free  veg' from L1dl to buy a big bag of potatoes so I looked into it and our local one does indeed have large bags worth £4+. I think I'd better grab one before they realise there's a loophole!

Have a brilliant birthday!

I don’t think it’s a loophole as such. All the free items include a few higher priced ones, the trick is remembering to put only one item of that kind in your basket or you lose out. Just recently I’ve had free dishwasher tabs worth £5, the potatoes worth £4 and a pack of 30 crisps worth £4. I hope you manage to get your potatoes.

Morning all. 

Off work again as today is the day I’m meeting my friends for a birthday eve lunch 🥂

I’m planning to potter around the city centre first, get my free coffee and maybe get my birthday present. Mr SA can’t understand why firstly I don’t want to go out without him and secondly that I don’t know what I want for my birthday and may or may not come back with something. I don’t want to wander around aimlessly and just grab something for the sake of it. There are a few things I’d like but I never seem to have much luck in physical shops and usually end up resorting to online. 

Mr SA has truly messed up his credit card and it’s now blocked 😐 He’s a nightmare with anything remotely technological. When I set up his new phone it wanted a 6 digit pin so I chose his birthday so he’d remember it. I told him what I’d done and he said why those numbers I might not remember them 😖

DD is at work today so Mr SA will be on his own. He asked me where I’m meeting my friends but I won’t tell him because he’ll come looking for me. I have a feeling he might go to a nearby town I don’t like him going to because the roads are very busy and he’s no road sense. He knows this but he likes to think he’s being naughty because I’ve gone out without him. 

Aiming to set off around 8.30 so better get ready.

Have a lovely day out with your friends.
