    It was pretty productive KC :rotfl: For once! :rotfl:

    Did the parkrun this morning - slowest I've done it since January 2013 :rotfl: Saving myself for the marathon next week (NEXT WEEK?! :eek: :eek: :eek: )

    Pottering day today I think :) Want to do a bit of garden tidying, post a parcel, maybe get a hair cut, bit more hoovering :j and then I'm off to meet a friend at a kind of community song event (not singing!) - Mr Cheery used to be involved but isn't now so it'll be interesting to see what's different...

    Well then you'll probably be glad I'm not going to be able to fit half of it in :rotfl:

    Hairdresser had no space, so me and Mr Cheery pottered round the closer charity shops instead :) Couple of spends...

    £1.90 posh cheese :D Love a tiny bit of posh cheese occasionally :D

    Oh, and I found a Body SHop white musk body lotion (which I do very much like) unopened for 75p :eek: they're normally about £12! Snapped that one right up, tis my favourite smell (I'm SUCH a teenager sometimes :o :rotfl: )

    Home again now, no hoovering done, no gardening done, and I need to go out again in an hour :o Right now sitting here with a cuppa and a pile of library books seems very appealing!!

    Posh cheese does it for me too - and so does Body Shop's white musk, I've used that for years :j oops, I'm stuck in my past :D

    Your light's not on any more, so I think you're probably off on your travels - have a great time at the event :kisses3:

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: - The one silly thing thats happened to me lately is I left my trolley next to a stand no-one was looking at so i could squeeze through people to get an item i needed - i returned to find 2 people rummaging through my things :eek: There were a lot of reduced items in there :o :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Mind you I have had someone looking in my trolley before as well - whilst I had hold of it and when i've politely pointed out its my trolley and you know, i'd kinda like to carry on with the shopping the person said they knew it was my trolley but they wanted to see what i'd got ???? :eek: :rotfl::rotfl:
