    Love the tablecloth, Beanie. Lunch out sounds like it has been a very good plan.

    It is lovely. S loves it! Though she is slightly discombobulated as the table has been moved slightly and it’s slightly further for her to jump to the worktop where her food is!  

    The girls are coming on Friday for Chinese. The fourth chair is in place. It’s usually in the spare room with washing on! I am a chair short for this as I only have 4 chairs.

    Sounds as if you’re going to have a lovely Chinese on Friday. Im impressed that you’re so organised. 
    Like you I’ve been out today with a friend. We headed to a NT place and had lunch. Can’t beat being a ‘lady wot lunches’ 🤪😂

    So pleased to read you had a lovely lunch out and have something else to look forward to with the Chinese on Friday 🙂 Good that you’ve had some help with chairs and tidying. Hope it all goes well.

    Chinese tomorrow sounds great and good that you've got organised.  I agree though, much easier to go out :D

    Your room set-up sounds perfect  :)
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    DON'T BUY STUFF (from Frugalwoods)
    No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff.    Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.
