    Good afternoon all...

    quickly flying by to let you all know I am in the land of the living...but I won't be around over the weekend as a surprise arrived on the doorstep this morning....

    he's not going back until Sunday so I want to make the most of every moment.

    Apparently DS and OH have been planning this weekend for weeks...last weekend nearly put paid to it all but I think its really the tonic I needed.

    So glad to have him home....even if it is only a flying visit between lectures.
    frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!

    2017 toiletries challenge 179 out 145 in ...£18.64 spend
