Today I don't care

Took OH out last night for a slap up meal to celebrate her 5 yr checkup after breast cancer. All clear, and we had a great time. Reality can wait till the weekend. Selfish I know but sometimes youv'e got to cut a little slack, and this is one excellent reason.
A major scare/illness does make you re-evaluate your lifestyle, but after a while consciousness takes over and you crawl back to normallity.

Good luck to all you wanabees. This wanabee will resume normal service soon

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    Thanks for all your kind comments. Just felt I had to shout it from the rooftops! Bought her some freesias from https://www.valueflora.com through quidco , so I suppose the saving habit is kicking back in.
    Cheers
