Scunnered ( such a good word!)

[SweatyHettie]

I blame the cat... one of the gingers tried to wake me up at quarter to five but I had planned on another hour’s sleep so I ignored him and managed to nod off again...next thing I know it’s quarter to seven 😱

So it’s my own fault really for going out much later than originally planned. Urgh- all those people and it was getting warm too! It kind of scunnered (favourite new word!) my plans to try a 5K today so I settled for a 30 mins instead.

Now, if he wakes me up at that time on Wednesday I’ll get up and go out because it’s supposed to get even hotter midweek. I refuse to set an alarm as I’m usually awake anyway.

Might have to wait till Saturday to go for the 5K as the heat definitely made me struggle more today.

Have a good week, drink lots of water! 💦

Scunnered, a good Scottish word for being very annoyed, so you were very annoyed at your cat for waking you up.

You can go for that 30 minute run and who knows you might get to 5K

The weather is to get hot in most parts of England and Wales this week but Scotland and Ireland it's to rain ☔ for a little while and won't see such high temperatures.

Ginger Toms know best! Good luck for Wednesday.

Scunnered - That’s definitely a new one for me but I like it!! Good luck with your plans for 5K this week, you’ve got this! 🥳💪🏼

I learnt it from foxncubs ( not sure if you can tag people on the app) the other day - I said I was going to make it my next favourite word - so glad I could use it today!!😜

I would say you were scunnered because your run was scuppered. And those cats were a scunner as well. Tricky word 'scunner'. 😁😁

Ooh thanks- i don’t want to use it in the wrong context - I was definitely scunnered at being scuppered! 😜
