Blog2019 ≫ Halloween, pay day, extra exercise

Happy halloween. Boys are going trick or treating today, I'm not so keen on it. We did carve pumpkins though, so have to put those out. This means people will come to the house, and I will be the only one in. I would generally turn the lights off and not answer the door just in case but will play along today, handing out Clare's vast collection of BrewDogs until she returns.

It's pay day today, and nice it is profit share pay day . This will cover my newly rediscovered addiction to the contactless payment crisp machine at work and cover my tab at the Inn Doors. Also going to get new broadband at home, going with the top affiliate deal from here1 so £20 per month and get rid of my phone line. The advertised speeds are outrageous but even the lowest estimate would be better than we have now, at half the price. I hope Mum will be alright without us having a phone line, she is the only one that uses it. That will actually save me money, so is not really a payday splash out. So I have a little left over to donate to these guys2 who are doing sterling work.

Extra exercise today because thing one forgot his swimming bag, so I had an extra school run. Got their delayed school runs later today so it's hard to get any real exercise in, will try and do half an hour on the treadmill.

No swimming lessons tonight, though when we do return on Tuesday it seems the pool is still being repaired. Lessons are still on but we'll be a bit squeezed up.

Watched a couple of episodes of Daybreak last night, it is post apocalypse high school drama, so a bit of a sassy Buffy / Veronica Mars feel to it. It is all a bit Netflix though, not sure I will last the whole series.
