    I was lucky today right place right time this morning. A new store was opening in town. "Yours"

    Bit of a queue when I went into SD, bigger when I came out and saw the SA's walking to the doors with goodie bags.

    Thought I would chance my luck so went to the end of the queue. :D

    Free purse worth £8, a compact mirror/brush, trolley coin, nail file, pen and tote bag. And a £5 gift voucher. :j

    It's a plus size store so no good for me but have in mind to use the voucher towards a present for someone. I must be getting old as it was too busy this morning I don't like all that hustle and bustle anymore.

    Morning all!

    Thanks for the Bletchley park info, I've decided it's definitely the way forward for DH's present this year. Just got to look for a nice hotel and somewhere posh to go for tea then I can get it booked and that'll be one less thing to worry about!

    Speaking of presents, I know a lot of the Elite donate to food banks and I'm thinking of doing the food bank advent calendar idea this year, but over fewer days so it's ready early December: https://ukmoneybloggers.com/hungry-xmas-foodbankadvent/

    Just need to find the list for my local food bank so I know what theyre short of.

    Plenty of nice places for afternoon tea in Woburn. I don't know Bletchley really anymore but if you are after a nice hotel then there are plenty in Milton Keynes. Some nice pubs with rooms in Woburn and a great hotel if you get the right price.
    Milton Keynes has everything you could want both day and night so could treat hubby to a snowboard lesson or if you have children go tobogganing. Silverstone happens to be situated next to a lovely spa with very reasonable prices.
    Of course you are bordering towards centre parks. If visit to Woburn is done , amp till has quite a bit of history and nice walks with a waitrose and some lovely one off shops to explore. Alternatively head towards Olney which is antique places and artist quarters. Lovely food to be found and a few nice b and bs.
    Hope that helps a bit.
    More you look at area there is also the Shuttle worth collect of very early planes.

    . 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;)
