    Still raining but not as bad as yesterday's horrific storm when the Mr M delivery driver had to abandon delivery half way through. Even had a bit of sun this afternoon.

    WW tonight and I've lost 1.5lbs so now back within 5lbs of my goal weight which means I shouldn't have to pay anymore :) Woo hoo!

    Hello all, hope everyone is having a fab weekend.:beer:

    Had a shellac on hands and feet yesterday using the Groupon voucher I bought ages ago. Euros have been purchased and had hair cut today. So all ready for holiday :cool:

    Just got 3 more working days then I can relax Thursday before we fly on Friday.

    DS and family came this afternoon. DGD is such a little madam now, she went home clutching one of my candles and no one could prise it off her!

    Mr SA wants to go into town tomorrow as he's decided he needs yet more shorts for holiday. :(

    Finally got some washing dry today :j

    MTG - I think the days leading up to a holiday are sometimes better than the holiday itself - bit like Christmas.

    So Mr SA got his shorts, he did really well as the ones he liked had been reduced to £3 in Primark. Bargain! He also bought 2 huge England flags from The Works, one is now flying on a pole at the bottom of our garden and the other is covering the inside of our front door (cringe).

    Managed to get to the bottom of the washing basket, did loads of ironing,but happy it's dry at last. However, it's raining again now. Just looked at the forecast for Majorca and it's full sun and 30 degrees.

    We had a visit from SIL this afternoon, she wanted to tell us where everything is in Palma Nova. I thought she was going to arrive with a load of leaflets/photos/cards but she just had one postcard of the sea front. Anyway I'm looking forward to it a lot more now as it sounds fab, nice bars, beach and shops and I'm seriously thinking about getting an extra €100 out now she's told me about the lovely jewellery, handbag and clothes shops. I'm thinking I could park Mr SA in a bar with the footie and a pint while I go shopping :). I did wonder if I'd end up wishing we'd gone back to Ibiza but it sounds lovely so maybe not.

    Mr SA accidentally locked one of our cats in the shed. I was starting to wonder where she was!! Bless him!!

    For the first time in ages I don't care that it's Monday tomorrow :) On a countdown :)
