The Doogee phone sounds ideal for Mr SA @rachmac3. I've never (touches wood) broken a phone in all the years I've had them and still have all my old phones in pristine condition, some of them must be museum pieces by now 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)1

Afternoon all.
Payday eve so all quiet on the money front. Today is a NSD.
Starting to feel overwhelmed by all the stuff to do before we go away next week. I've made a list of what I need to do and divided tasks into the number of days I have to do them in. If I earmark one day for cleaning, one for gardening and one for packing that makes it feel easier. I've put through a day's leave for the Monday after we get back so I've got an extra day tagged onto the weekend to unwind before it's back to the grindstone.
It probably doesn't help that I've set myself a challenge to finish my current book before Tuesday, I'm just over halfway through with another 21 chapters to go, it's a thick book!
Work isn't helping either as people are bombarding me with things to do before I break up. If I had £1 for every time I've heard 'can you just' this week.
I need to pick up the young cat's flea and worming treatment from the vets on the way home from work tomorrow so I'm going to finish at lunchtime then catch the bus to the vets. While I'm down that way I need to go to B&M for a few bits I'm struggling to find elsewhere. I'm going to get an all day bus ticket and will get the bus to work, another to the vets and another one back home.
I always seem to have vet dealings immediately prior or just after a holiday and can you believe the dog is due her annual booster the week after we get back. All booked in now.
Today's exercise has been dog walking this morning, a lunchtime weights session and resistance bands is on tonight to replace Zumba.
Tonight's dinner is a concoction of leek, mushrooms, pepper, courgette and spinach with tagliatelle with a splodge of cream cheese as a sauce. Lunch was a concoction of chickpeas, tuna, olives and salad bits. Can you tell I'm using up the contents of my fridge 😆

I have to say I don't get much of the BP stuff. My mother was on BP meds at 60 even though she went to the gym at least 3 times a week & several exercise classes every week. I am now 79 & my BP so far is fine. My DS in his early 40s, lives with me & eats what I eat/cook. They have just insisted he has statins, so not a watch your diet & come back in 6 months & see how it is going, just you need them.2
