    I love my WW app. Do you do the live exercise sessions? I particularly love the Zumba on Wednesday and Thursday. I’ve been at goal for 22 years now it was the only thing that ever worked for me.

    @Brie No unfortunately the cat isn't trained to bring me a cup of tea .
    I had to get up to fetch it myself.

    @I_Love_comps - I have a cat that does the same thing. He is only 11 months old and I am hoping he outgrows it. Mine attacks by burrowing under the covers and attacking me with claws out. Usually about 2 am, 5 am, and 7 am!

    Morning Everyone.

    Yesterday I managed to do a load of washing and some shredding during my peak save hours.
    I also changed the bed linen. 

    Hang washing on the line . Nice and Sunny today 
    Today I have to go and pay a bill for my DM .
    Then a quick shop and back home for some lunch .
    Then hopefully I will get around to vacuum our bedroom.

    Have a good day x
