Thanks @PennysIntoPounds, @skint_yet_again, @beanielou, I have just heard they are keeping him in overnight. 🤷‍♀️

Yikes! H&S isn't looking after himself properly!!! Hope he's ok in the morning!

You keep mentioning the surveys. I've been with Prime for a couple of years, not doing things very regularly but have decided to just cash out as I've only got £26 in all that time. I suspect that you would likely get accepted for more surveys than me as I'm retired so likely have too many competing surveyors. I do live in retirement central!!!

But I've just done my second HMRC interview. It's a hour long Q&A with me looking at their website to see what appeals and what doesn't. (no I don't want to talk to AI, yes I do want to know their real person webchat hours). First one got me £60 and I'm expecting something similar this time. Best hourly wage I've ever made. I can't recall specifically signing up for it but whenever there's been a feedback possibility on any government webpage I've said I'd answer questions. I get an email every couple of months where they ask about 5 questions for no £. Just thought I'd mention it. Fun bit today was I spotted a spelling mistake in their examples which they quickly scrambled to correct!!

Thanks @Brie, pr1me has been a mare for me for a while now, keeps chucking me out. I’ll try again …

Managed to get my chair squats and weights done before work and got out for a walk at lunchtime.

H&S bod appears to have a stomach ulcer and was having a camera ‘down’ this afternoon to confirm. Apparently he is in good spirits and flirting with all the nurses … 🙄😂 He’s nil by mouth so I suspect they are expecting to operate. His son, who also works in the same place, seemed quite relaxed about it all, so I am cautiously being the same …

Right, I must away to do battle with the conservatory to try and collate acceptable charity shop offerings before a shower and d1gging f0r Britain 😊

That's good news about colleague, not pleasant but thank goodness something they were able to identify and are dealing with. And you can have fun when he's back teasing him about flirting with all the nurses 😁

Well done keeping up with the exercises. I am still planning on doing your chair squats recommendation, I just haven't had a bit of body not be extra achey since it was discussed!

Pr1me is fairly terrible but if you do a 7 day run you get to lucky dip for a code for extra earnings on surveys for a week or a few extra points/pence in your balance so I try to do a short one daily in the hope of extra money.

That sounds very satisfying @Brie, do let us know if it ever emerges how you're getting these surveys 😁

Thanks @PennysIntoPounds 😊
I didn’t know that about Pr1me … 🤔 I will persist.

Weights and chair squats done before work. Went up to 3kg weights in bicep curls and 2kg weights on shoulder presses 😊 Steps feeble at 6.6K but hey, you know, the weather 🤷‍♀️

H&S bod had a hole in his stomach due to a burst ulcer and was operated on last night. Not sure if it was keyhole or a full opening up so I’m not sure how long his recovery will be. They are keeping him in until Sunday, I assume for obs for the possibility of sepsis. So glad they have looked after him.

Crazy busy day but managed to knock out some minutes before the weekend and prep for a full morning of meetings tomorrow (how very dare everybody do this to me on a Friday! 😂)

Done some small things this evening:
- Loaded car with CS drop off stuff ready for tomorrow
- Emptied and relined both kitchen bins (Mr KK actually took the rubbish / recycling to the relevant outside bin because I got home before he did and I was in slippers and he was still in boots 😊)
- Renewed candles in dining room candlesticks - it’s a little luxury we have, to have candles with a sidelight rather than an overhead light when eating, as it’s kinder on our eyes 😊 🕯️

Need to go and clear space in the office for IT guru to (self nominated) come tomorrow to look at Mr KK’s laptop for upgrading to w11. There is still craft stuff EVERYWHERE! 😉

Aaaand …. Today’s news is I sent the boss home ill! 🙄🤷‍♀️ Honestly, what are they like?! He did tell me at one point that I was becoming bossy - I pointed out that it was atypical for him to listen to me so he must be ill! 🙄 (He has a life long condition that when it flares up needs strict bed rest and ABs …)

Weights and squats done before work.
Work was a maelstrom - as above, plus various other dramas but I did manage to get the solenoid on the demin plant fixed, so at least that’s working again for minimal cost - a wire strip and reconnect rather than a £500 call out fee plus whatever was needed … 😊👏

Stopped off on the way home to offload CS stuff so that’s a ✅😊
One load of washing in the machine.
Paid the builders merchant bill for the skirting board used in the office / craft room ✅
Tried and failed to book Madam Chloe into Cattery in June - their landline seems to be down so sent a text to an old mobile number but no reply so far … However, I do at least have the dates straight in my head now, so it was worth making that much effort. 😊
Hour long call with new coach - after the call I tried going up and down our stairs for two minutes, had to give up after 1 minute 15 seconds! 😳😂 I think we can call that an effective exercise option! 😉

Got out in the garden for 10 minutes or so (in a big waterproof) to empty the unused litter tray of compost that Chloe is not using at night any more and the bag of compost that was sat in the conservatory to fill up said tray … Clearing that bag and some plant trays along with the CS drop off today has cleared some properly useful space, so I can shuffle stuff around to get the books moving now - happy with that. Also split some starter wood for the fire, so Mr KK happy with that and fed the birds 😊

Done grocery order, along with what is needed for new lemon and pulses soup I want to try this weekend for my next work soup 😊
