Wave as you come out of the station for the Highcross SA, I am in meetings near there most of tomorrow. Hope the sun shines for you.
I like all the little independent shops around st martins and the arcades too, worth a potter if you have time.My mortgage free diary: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6498069/whoops-here-comes-the-cheese

I'll look like a raving lunatic waving to you redo but will think about you when I pass
It's 4 years since I last went to Highcross - almost to the day as it was 27 November 2013 and Mr SA was still in hospital.
I just like going on the train, even though it's only a 24 minutes journey. Must remember not to buy a coffee for the journey as no soon have you sat down it's time to get off.
As far as Mr SA's concerned I'm at work tomorrowI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
Enjoy your day ‘at work’ tomorrow

Had a lovely day, didn't buy much, as predicted, but it was nice to wander around a different shopping centre. I had a lovely coffee and mince pie at Pret's and when my ankle started hurting stopped for lunch.
Slightly stressful in that Mr SA kept ringing me and I was trying to dive into places that weren't blaring out Xmas music. One of the calls was to tell me the dog's lead was broken and could I pick another one up on my lunch break.
My ankle is so sore unsurprisingly as my Fitbit tells me I've done just over 30,000 steps today :eek:
Mr SA is hassling me for a new phone and bizarrely he is going on about East Midlands Trains. He's more or less saying that all I should be doing is going to work then coming home to make his dinner. He was getting me quite cross to be honest. I think he enjoyed it when my leg was in plaster last year and I was confined to barracks.
Sometimes I wonder if he's stuck a tracking device on me.
So back to work tomorrow, got two normal days then it's the team Christmas lunch on Friday.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0
