    Afternoon all

    Have been awol enjoying a lovely weekend in London.
    Travel lodge Covent Garden (booked using the 26th dec code) and tickets to Cinderella at the London Palladium using the Yplan app.
    We had a lovely dinner in Bella Italia unfortunately unable to use code due to location. Had a bit of time to kill before the show so visited Mr Shoes where we wombled a 'few' £5 off no7 till spits. After the show a TukTuk ride and a bag of chips. Show was hilarious and very rude.
    Saturday morning we had probably the best hotel breakfast ever.
    Quiet word with duty manager about being unable to locate a member of staff for the wifi code and pointed out bed had been made incorrectly and we have a free stay next time which was really lovely of him as only mentioned wifi wanting our £3 back.
    We both slept very well.
    Then off to Westfield for a wander which included Dove minis and umberellas from SD and some No7 bits from Mr Shoes. Accessorize to stock up on decent hair bits and bobs and the Kipling store sale where I got mum a back pack. She wanted one for xmas but couldn't decide on size online. N bought a purse. Lovely SA and we had a good look at everything.
    Train home around tea time.

    Mum has been over today and absolutely loves her new rucksack which is perfect size for what she wants and a lot lighter than her old one.

    So the was the Far South East mini covens Christmas outing.

    Now to find some cheap tickets for Chicago which we would both like to see.

    Thrilled to join in with the Doves and brollies. Just scratched the itch and they are lovely sets which will prove very useful for our travels.

    Woke up to a text from N with cheap Antigua deal so looks like autumn holiday will be booked soon. It is just so lovely there I really want to return.

    Next week will be my last week of freedom for at least 6 weeks as having right foot operated on. This will stop me driving for quite a while :(

    All caught up. Managed not to succumb to Sanctury sets or Mystery Fizz but I did have a look.
    Need to fill freezer up with ready meals in time for my incarceration so a glitch on those would be useful.

    Oh Mr Ted now has his own Pawsport ready for our travels this year:rotfl:

    . I do think a chaise lounge is a good description of you though. Stylish yet comfortable and laid back :)

    May the odds be ever in your favour;)

  • Went to Aldi this afternoon, got fruit and veg. Was looking for the venison burgers when I noticed they had Ostrich and Peppa Pig burgers. Had one with a salad, was lovely, not a hint of fat. Will get more when I go back, along with my usual Bambi Burger/sausages.
  • Finally ordered a mobile. Then changed my mind worry about my decision process, went back on Amazon went through my priorities again same phone :) chuffed and then noticed it had gone down £4 since I bought 10 mins earlier. Cancelled and re ordered cheeky things
    I have dyslexia, so get used to my spelling and grammar :)
