    Happy Friday :)

    Boiler is fixed (hopefully). They have replaced the thermostat. As soon as the guarantee runs out I'm going to get the British Gas Homecare in place.

    Had a nice wander round town this morning followed by a lovely lunch with friends. I had £20 of vouchers but didn't spend them. Picked up a few Christmas bits though.

    So fed up with my feet. I had a comfy pair of Skechers boots on but a pain in my toe spoiled my wandering around. Back home I investigated said toe to find a tiny red mark around my toe nail that was causing so much pain!

    One of my friends and I got a fab bargain in M&S we both bought the Ragdale Hall gift set for £20 and it was on 3 for 2 so we split the third one between us :) The sales assistant said the shower gel alone was £6 normally. The full gift set is for DS's OH and the bits from the freebie are for me :) Happy days :)

    Forgot to say we are moving at work to a new building not built yet but will be ready in summer 2021. Not far from where we are now and possibly 5 minutes extra walk for me if that. Near the train station so handy for those who come in by train. There won't be a gym but we will be offered discounts at gyms nearby.

  • Glad you enjoyed your shopping day apart from your sore toe. What's caused the soreness do you think?

    Glad you had a good trip (soreness aside) and the boiler is fixed. Fingers crossed it plays nicely now!

    I have been reading along but been rubbish at posting and knowing what to say
