Today I got up and hoovered and did the litter trays before going to the gym - feel like I am winning at life knowing that task is done already. It’s a lovely day at last so I was hanging out the washing when the back door opened and madam stuck her head out. I let her out for a look and enjoyed a cup of tea in the sun, sometimes the simple things are the best. She did go straight to look for next doors dog so was very disappointed not to see her😂

NSD🎉🎉🎉 I was going to go to the supermarket but decided it could wait a couple of days.
I ran 5k today and it was so warm! Took ages for my beetroot face to recover… lots more washing done and dried in the sun.
I cut the grass and weeded a bit. Madame S came out and said hello to next doors dog at the front of the house but was a bit taken aback when she licked her nose😂 I was cutting the grass later and they sat at the fence just watching each other but back fence is too high to get through (I am sure the cat could jump if she was more confident but hope she stays on my side). I weeded a bit and brought her back in then heard some pleading meowing from the kitchen, she was at the back door with a favourite ball which I assume she was hoping they could play with 😂
Ironing this evening and an early night as it’s an early start tomorrow… only two days to work though then I have a week off!Mortgage OP 2026 £640/2000Mortgage balance: £32,222

Thanks Beanie, that’s me off now🎉 and no Southcoast there will be no overtime 😂
I am shattered, I walked to work and back and two different people wanted to go out for walks so clocked up 10.5 miles today! I was going to go for a run but legs are too tired. Tomorrow I have the gym and dancing so this evening will be spent relaxing.
The cat is currently in the hall jumping at the blind cable trying to catch it and hitting the letterbox on her descent… she’s a joy really😂

Another £20 from OnePoll 🎉
Trying to get to Friday without doing any major shopping but will need milk and fruit and veg at some point. I am hoping to save a little from this month’s shopping budget, even if it’s only a tenner it would be a bonus. I have enough evening meals until Friday.

I’m shattered! Worked my butt off at the gym then dance class, I agreed to go to another class this evening but cancelled as I’m done! Sofa and a blanket had much more appeal, especially as it was a more advanced class that would make my brain ache too.
Weather forecast isn’t great so might head off to an art gallery tomorrow for a potter.
