    Officially out of office 🥳🥂

    I got soaked walking to work this morning, total madness to go into the office on such a wet day when I can WFH but I needed to be sure the internet connection was a good one for the meeting. Occasionally mine dips out at home usually in the middle of an important meeting. 

    Not a NSD but a low spend one mainly because I forgot my shopping list for Lid! and couldn’t remember what I needed to get. 

    Exercise was walking to/from work 17,000 steps so will probably finish the day on 20,000. 

    Tonight’s dinner is scampi, wedges and veg. Rose cava is in the fridge, no point saving it for tomorrow as will have some leftover.

    Why is it that I forgot my list feels like the dog ate my homework.  Although I suspect I am the only person whose shopping list includes such things as no milk, no apples, as well as oranges & bread.  I got cheesed off with going round the supermarket & thinking apples aren't on my list & I can't remember if we need any.  Hence the no apples on the list.  Mine is computerised though so at least I don't have to write it all out & as it is printed I can usually read it.

    Happy Saturday 🥂

    Got a really busy day today with a very long to do list. 

    I’m going to do a live ClubFit class shortly then go to the big Mr T for cat food. I also need to go to Savers. Then it will be time to get my nails done. 

    Still need to pack Mr SA’s case, he’s done nothing towards it at all despite having all the time in the world. Probably expecting the magic fairies to do it for him 😐

    Tonight’s dinner is veggie burger and whatever salad bits there are left in the fridge. There is leftover rose cava.

    The dog will need a run on the park at some stage. 

    This time tomorrow we’ll be in the airport lounge 🥳
