It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

Best win so far - holiday to Florida0 -
Thanks all xx
I'm really pleased with it, worth all the stress and upheaval. I keep thinking I'm in a new house, it's weird. Ordered a bottle of bubbly on the Mr M order this week to celebrate this weekend. Still trying to get used to the slimline dishwasher though, it's like a doll's house one, really tiny. Didn't have room for a full size one.
Sorted finances today, all ok, CC paid off.
Gym this lunchtime, second time this week.
Started with a sore throat this morning, feel a bit rough

How are you Buffy? Have missed you!!!
Thursday is the new Friday for me this week. Day off tomorrow, wander round shops in town then meet friends for lunch. Still got £60 vouchers from work but if I don't see anything will save for winter coat or boots. Ssh Mr SA doesn't know I've got the day off tomorrow, he just thinks I'm finishing early to meet friends.
Still feel rough At least I'm getting it over with before holiday.
