Have a great holiday and hope you get through without too much nagging. It's amazing how memory works for some things and not at all for others!5

Bring back some sunshine please.3 -
Morning happy Thursday 😎
Taking the dog on the park this morning for a run before we set off.Need to pack the last few bits and paint my toes. Also want to pop to Mr T to drop off the soft plastics recycling and pick up a paper and a magazine for the flight. Have downloaded some podcasts and music, I’ve got my book, might download a film. I don’t like sitting still for almost 4 hours need to keep busy. I wish I could sleep on flights but I can’t relax. I love taking off and landing but hate the bit in between, especially if it gets a bit bumpy.Going to miss sleeping with the dog curled up at the side of me and the kitten on my pillow. They’ll be fine with DD though, she spoils them rotten when we’re away.
Can’t believe we’re finally going today eek 🏖✈️🍹I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping) -.literally have been run over by a bike, mobility scooter and a car - still here 💪7 -

Have a lovely holiday & if you don't treat yourself at that boutique, we are all going to want to know the reason why! I've treated myself to a birthday summer dress today & a top - even us frugalistas sometimes deserve something new!
F2026's challenges: 1) To rebuild our Emergency Fund to at least £5k.
2) To read 50 books (12/50) 3) The Re-Shrinking of Foxgloves 8.1kg/30kg
Remember....if you have to put it on a credit card, extend your overdraft or take out a loan to buy whatever it is, you probably can't afford it, as that's not your money, it's somebody else's!5 -

We are here in Lanzarote. Flight very quick at 3.5 hours but a bit bumpy in parts thanks to clouds.Checked in at the hotel but we may have to move rooms tomorrow as it’s up quite a few stairs and Mr SA is struggling.Just having a bite to eat and drink before heading back to the room. Will sleep well tonight that’s for sure.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping) -.literally have been run over by a bike, mobility scooter and a car - still here 💪8
