    Had a lovely time today. Passed by all too quickly though. We are meeting up again in December which will be lovely. Really enjoyed my coffee before getting the train, sat on a sofa reading a magazine, no interruptions, sheer bliss.

    Can't believe Debenhams doesn't open until 9.30! Didn't have time to go before I caught my train but went on the way home. Got a coat and a jumper for just £18 using a series of discounts and vouchers :)

    Our city centre has put on a fab Halloween fair, it really did look lovely. When I got off the bus the new pub at the end of our road had decorated up for Halloween with pumpkins on the doorstep and garlands. They've got a band on tonight, would've been tempted if I hadn't already had a day out.

    Just 6 phone calls from Mr SA today. He'd been to Lidl and treated himself to a pair of boots and a rucksack and was super excited (as if he needs another bag!!!). I'm not joking he would ring me to tell me he'd sneezed!

    Praying for an uneventful weekend.

    Happy Saturday :)

    WW this morning, despite all the tracking stayed the same :( Not put me off though and will carry on.

    DS and family came today, it was lovely to see the GKs and they enjoyed playing with the toys I bought from someone at work for £6 (she was having a clear out).

    Made some blueberry muffins tonight while dinner was cooking, utilising having the oven on anyway. WW recipe. Not tested yet, I don't eat cakes in the evening but looking forward to having one with a coffee tomorrow.

    Mr SA has had his orders, if there is a repeat of last Saturday I'll throw a blanket over him and he can sleep in the bath!
