    Thought I saw a skirt in either Roman Originals or C*tton Traders. Hope you find one soon. 
    I’ve looked at both thanks, no luck.

    As you're so petite SA, have you tried teenage ranges such as Next who go up to age 16? Their 'long' skirts might be shorter IYSWIM.
    I always scour the kids section, particularly for trainers as I have very small feet. Saves a fair bit money-wise. I used to get most of my clothes from Tammy Girl when I was in my 20s in the days when adult clothes under size 10 didn’t exist.

    Happy Saturday 🥂

    Beautiful warm sunny day, perfect weather for me. 

    Went to the big Mr T this morning for a few bits then got home and noticed I hardly had any tonic water for my gin 😱 Went to the local high street £1.80 for a bottle of tonic water, no way!! Went back to big Mr T - 70p. It’s about 1.5 miles each way so have clocked up a fair few steps going twice. 

    DS and the GKs came this afternoon for a couple of hours. I bought them some ice lollies but they wanted sausage rolls 🙄 Thankfully the Ninja came to the rescue and cooked them in under 15 minutes from frozen. Also thankful I had a stash in the freezer. 

    Tonight’s dinner was pizza, wedges and salad. Home grown salad leaves but Mr SA has complained about there being a minuscule amount of coriander in his salad 🙄

    The bikinis from M&co arrived today and fit perfectly thank goodness. 

    DD has had some sad news about a work colleague who has sadly passed away. DD doesn’t know the cause but the colleague had attempted to take her own life a couple of times recently. I hope she’s at peace now.
