    Waving lovely friends

    OH and I have escaped to our favourite place on the East Coast. 

    Currently awaiting a late lunch to arrive - trying to give OH a chef break 

    Its so fab that I woke up to the sound of the sea -certainly my happy place 

    Have managed to do some assignment work this morning abs need to go back after we have a blow of air along the prom. 

    Noting Mon went alright - although I was shattered when I got home after a detour to pick up my favourite hat from a pub I left it in last week ( meeting a friend while away ) 

    Yesterday was up early - packed and on the road - we stopped for a lovely foodie lunch with a fish platter - noting it was so good to have a “lunch date” together and make time for ourselves. 

    I am continuing my mindful spending in that like - going to settle lunch bill and discuss undercooked chips !

    Update MSE - politely fed back beautiful fish under cooked chips feedback - I asked the question if you were in my position would you want to pay £15 for it? They fed back it was a new trainee chef. And they took the whole of the cost of the meal of our meal 👍

    Just shows it’s worth mentioning if your meal isn’t up to scratch. Good feedback for the trainee too as at least he’ll know where he going wrong and hopefully won’t make the same mistake again.

    Morning all

    Well yesterday was in-laws day - they live about an hour from where we are so easier to see us here.

    It’s not that easy a relationship - I have to work at it all day but it went ok - that is until my OH started turning 🤢 before they left.

    Dodgy moules we think at lunchtime as after they left he went from 🤢 to 🤮 fortunately not in the pub where we had gone for a cheeky pint. 

    So I spent the evening on my own and retired to the second bedroom at 9 - have to say I have got the best nights sleep 😉 

    Now I need to crack on and finish writing this essay
