I’ve had a lovely day, shattered now, hope I can stay awake for Strictly. Bought quite a few things off my Christmas list, plus a few things that weren’t including a gonk with a glittery hat I just couldn’t resist 😆I had a free gift to pick up from M&S from the Sparks 12 days of Christmas - surprise surprise out of stock. It was only Percy Pig lights so not the end of the world, I know someone who got free gin!
No wonder shops are struggling the range of goods seems very limited. Made a special trip to Primani for the oval cotton wool pads, couldn’t find them. I suppose this is an eco-friendly thing, it’s all very well having the reusable pads for removing eye make up as you can wash it out but how the hell are you supposed to remove nail varnish and reuse them 🤔
Covid boosters tomorrow morning then we’re supposed to be going to a Christmas market at a local park with DS and the GKs. I’m fully expecting to feel rough on Sunday as with all the other Covid jabs so planning on watching Love Actually with my feet up and nothing else.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5 -
Hope you don't feel too bad after your covid jab. We felt rough this time, but think that was because we had both covid and flu at the same time. Watching Love Actually sounds like a good plan. If I can get the Christmas decs up tomorrow, we might do the same, but I have some batch baking/cooking planned, so might not have time for the decs.Making the debt go down and savings go up

Happy Saturday 🥂
Today will be a very busy one, just done a live ClubFit session, having a coffee now then must get ready. Will try and fit a quick dog walk in before going for the Covid boosters. I need to pop into Mr T on the way back home. Then it’s a quick lunch before setting off to the park with the Christmas market with the dog. I’ll try and persuade her to wear her Christmas jumper 😆
