  • Sorry about missing the funeral and getting one wet foot.

    You sound as if you enjoyed being back at work.

    That's Tuesday done :)

    Yoga this afternoon and an AFD :)

    Seem to be spending money hand over fist at the moment, need to take back control. Mr SA is pestering for some trousers he saw advertised in a newspaper when we were on holiday. I'm sure he thinks we have a never ending supply of money.

  • Can't Mr SA use his own money for the trousers? Hope you enjoyed yoga. I've found some Barbara Currie dvds on YouTube which I'm keen to try.

    Sorry you missed the funeral - so inconsiderate of them not telling you so that you could choose how to say goodbye.

    Trainers sound a bargain.

    Have a good weekend :p

    Hooray it's Friday :)

    That was a very quick week!

    Shattered! Been AWOL a couple of days - fed up of computers at work, needed a break from them. When you're on them all day sometimes you have to stay away at night.

    Still aching from Pilates on Wednesday, it hurts when I cough.

    Courtesy of FB I found out my dad's ashes were scattered today - on his birthday.

    Need to look at finances this weekend, not sure where I am with them.

    Beanie - no Mr SA doesn't need trousers!

    Went for a drink at lunchtime with my work friend, lovely to have a catch up.

    No particular plans for the weekend other than WW tomorrow morning. Thank goodness.

  • Sorry you weren't included in any of the things relating to your dad's death.

    I was aching for two days after my last Pilates session, it can be brutal :).

    Have a good rest tonight.

  • Really sorry to read about your Dad SA, it is a weird one that is for sure. I don't know what to say.

    Life is so weird.

    Big love XXXX
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    So very sad that you were left out SA and had to find out via FB . As buffy says life is weird.

    Have a good weekend .
