    So that’s work done for 16 days 🥳 

    Picked up the euros, had a quick wander round town then picked up a free baguette from Lidl with the voucher on the way home.

    Hairdressers at 5pm.

    Have done just over 25,000 steps so far.

    Very proud of DS and DIL. DS had an interview for a job with a lot more money and he got it 🥳 DIL went for an interview for a part time job and got it 🥳 This will help them greatly with price rises, really pleased for them and nice to have some good news. 

    I am so looking forward to not cooking or cleaning for 9 days.

    Great news for your ds and dil. Did she get a job doing nails as she is very good at it. 

    No cooking or housework sounds great.

    No she wants to keep the nails as a sideline.

    Morning happy Saturday 🥂

    I’ve been up for ages. The dog wanted to go out and I had a cat on my head massaging my scalp - ouch. Decided to give in and read my book with a coffee. The dog has gone back to bed!

    Plans for today: 

    ClubFit
    Walk dog
    Shopping
    Book taxi for Monday
    DS and GKs coming, DIL doing my nails
    Cleaning

    Tonight is curry night. Will be using up whatever is in the fridge. 

    Mr SA wanted me to take coffee bags on holiday but I’ve refused, I’m not making coffee in the room, he’ll have to buy one from the bar. Drinks are really cheap at the hotel anyway. 

    Time to put the rose cava in the fridge for tonight.
