900 steps for me today, at work it's usually 25,000 +I also went into the garden and mowed the lawns. According to the pedometer on my watch, I did over 3600 steps.
I'm starting to feel it now and I think the only cure might be a bottle of wine. (Yeah, I know, it wont cure shit ... but who cares ?)

A lot of steps for me.
Well, rungs, really...
The aluminium ladder stay is a great thing.
I have a steel one on the Big Island, but it is just too heavy, this one is hardly noticeable in use.

Amazon have an interesting problem today, which has led to me buying much alcohol!

Each offer is very short lived, but here's an example:
https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/aspall-premier-cru-cyder-12-x-500-ml-bottles-3732974
Basically a load of stuff has appeared really cheap, but says can't be delivered. In each case there are two sellers, one being amazon and the other also appearing to be amazon, but can't deliver. As long as you get in before the second amazon runs out you can get some bargains.
I have a few ideas on this, but can't be sure. I think their auto price scalping algorithm where they try ti undercut everyone that they also charge to sell on their own platform has gone haywire, but I'm wondering if a malicious seller has found a way to list items that can't be sold that still triggers them to drop their own prices. There have been tens, likely hundreds of items today like this. I also got a new huawei monitor, just 1080p but was half what everyone else sold it for and had cashback making it £36.

Sounds more like a bad app. A good solution should be just scanning a code on the table, opens page, order, enter table number, pay, done.
I hope table service becomes more common as an offering to be honest. It’s a great idea and has been one of the positives of this whole ordeal alongside more places taking card, doing deliveries, etc.

Getting more used to it now . Son offered to order for us (from 60 miles away) , which he'd have done in seconds, but I was determined to persevere . Can't stop me now...
ordering my way down the various drinks on the list and a chance to order ones I've never tried before. I'll be getting a call from the bank soon ....is it me doing all these transactions ???

Hmmmm they're not near Cresswell are they? That's where she's 'supposedly' staying.... Saying that she dissapeared last weekend with no explanation or clue to where she was apart from 'Eccleshall'.
I'm having parenting problems, mostly that I don't want to be a parent anymore, it's too stressful.
Any advice on how to deal with hormonal teenagers, who behave exactly like you yourself do, which is frankly horrific, would be gratefully received.

No, they're in Acton Trussell. Doesn't mean that ain't where yours is though! Was 6 of them, I took 3 and 3 met them there.
