    Morning folks, happy Saturday :)

    Just having a quick catch up on diaries before starting the day in earnest. Going to have a manicure, pedicure and eyebrow tint later this morning. Not bothering with WW today but am tempted to tell Mr SA I'm going and have a quick whizz into town on my own instead. I could do with going to M&S - I could go Monday but it will be a big faff with Mr SA and the scooter for something that will take me 10 minutes to do alone.

    Looking forward to another sunny day but must do more than just sit and read, garden needs a tidy up and the front door needs cleaning.

    The garden is looking loads better now Mr SA has his new mower though :)

    Enjoy your day everyone, hope the sun is out everywhere :)

  • The manicure and pedicure sound good. I definitely need a pedicure!

    Your day does sound good, I vote for "WW" trip, much easier when things are quick.

    I skipped WW, went to M&S - wasted journey. I'd seen a lovely beach dress online for £12.50, alas not in store. Looked all over. Bought a perfume for £8.50 10ml size but spent the same on bus fare and a coffee and scone. Oh well.

    Nails and eyebrows done :)

    Mr SA is like a wet weekend in Bognor, convicted he's dying and has told me to find someone else after he's gone. This has all stemmed from letter to see his consultant on 8 May. Pointed out letter is dated Wednesday the day he went to the GP so they won't have had the blood then. Will have to rearrange the appointment as there's no way I can take him on 8 May as I have arranged a meeting at work with people flying in from Scotland which I need to be at.

    Someone has been murdered on DS's road :( Apparently a bloke thought he was Jesus and ploughed into some cars and killed an innocent pedestrian :eek:

    Weather has been hot and sunny here, loving it :)

  • I've just caught up with your diary SA. I'm really sorry to hear abour Mr SA :(. Fingers crossed it is nothing to worry about. As others have said don't think about it while you're away and enjoy your holiday. Often the worst does not happen.

    What Mr SA said about the lawnmower made me laugh too :rotfl:,

    Just caught up with your diary and im sorry Mr SAs results weren't good,hopefully it will turn out to be nothing to worry about ,I did have to laugh at the lawnmower comment though

    Someone who I worked with was murdered last week by her partner,she has two young children too,it's so sad but he has at least been arrested and charged so will be going to prison,good job your DS wasn't caught up in it what with everything else you have going on
