    Happy Thursday, nearly the weekend :)

    I've had a £173.70 refund from Scottish Power :j What a nice surprise when I checked my bank account today :)

    Mr SA isn't too good at the moment, he's got a wheezy chest, sore throat and a rash. He rang me at work today and his voice was so slurred I couldn't tell a word he was saying. I'll be glad when he's had his doctors appointment next week and got the blood test results.

    Two weeks today I'll have broken up for holiday :)

  • Great news on the refund from Scottish Power :). I hope Mr SA feels better soon.

    Thanks folks and happy Friday :j

    Finally got my feet up with a glass of wine :)

    Absolutely shattered, won't be a late one tonight despite it being Friday.

    Went for a run in the gym at lunchtime and spent the grand total of £2.09.

    Plans for weekend - WW tomorrow and have to take the dog to the vets for a flea and worm check on Sunday. This is at the retail park where Mr SA ran me over :( He's insisting on coming with me as he knows there's a bloomin' Costa there. Apart from that hoping for a quiet one.

  • I hope you have a quiet weekend SA and that Mr SA enjoys his Costalot coffee. What does he like to drink there? I love their skinny lattes :drool:.

    He just has an Americano with milk. I only drink black coffee so not very exciting, I don't do milk.
