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!

Happy Saturday
WW this morning, despite all the tracking stayed the sameNot 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!I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
