🤣🤣 I’ll have you know I once had a sequin boob tube back in the day 😆PennysIntoPounds said:Are you sure you're not just having an adverse reaction to the suggestion you wear the lurex crop top 😁
Hope the zinc helps, and take things as easy as you can, easier said than done I know
Will you keep putting the mortgage equivalent money into a 'mine all mine' retirement pot so you've got a wee sum to treat yourself when income is less?
I didn’t fetch the zinc in the end as it started raining.The plan is to jiggle a few pots about but save the majority.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6 -
I think I’m starting to feel slightly better 🤞 I managed to go out with the dog this morning then after work did a Get Fit with Rick Christmas workout to get some steps in (yes too early I know 😬) followed by resistance bands. So I can’t be that bad. The sore throat is still there and I keep going hot and cold but that’s about it.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6

Afternoon all.
WFH again today. Feeling a bit better than yesterday so heading in the right direction - what a weird bug, it hasn't really amounted to anything.
The Princ1pal1ty regular saver has matured today so the majority is in the current account with some kept back to go into the 6 months regular saver I recently opened. The matured pot balance is to be set aside for the home improvements planned. I need to remember to open up a new regular saver with them tomorrow if the interest rate is good.
Have just been out on the park with the dog. It's quite warm in the sun so I've just pegged out some washing. There's no Zumba tonight as the instructor is still poorly so I'm going to find a YT Zumba class to do later.
Need to decide what I want to make for tonight's dinner, need to look at what needs using up first.

SA - just a gentle finger wag but if you are currently as it sounds fighting off some sort of virus, take a few days off the exercise to give your body a fighting chance of the best recovery!
