    Um..I will keep out of the hair colour conversation methinks...I go every 3 weeks (my hair grows super super fast and I look like a badger when I go as it is) and its £60 :( I have tried boxes of colour but its never the same.

    Sounding great SA...you have got me thinking. A new Lidl and an Aldi have opened up near me..I would never have guessed about getting an olive tree from there!! I must take a look. Butternut squash soup sounds lush too :D

    Hello folks, happy Tuesday :)

    Worked at home today, got quite a bit done. Loved it that I finished at 3.30 and was home at 3.30 :)

    HH the olive tree will live in the covered outdoor area in the colder months. We have a sheltered south facing garden so it gets a lot of sun.

    Talking of hair dye, I coloured mine a darker shade of blonde before we went on holiday, wasn't sure if I liked it at first, then decided I did. One week in the sun and it's back to it's usual honey blonde, it was a nice try :rotfl: I have a lot of red/blonde tones in my hair that just fight any other colour. On the plus side at my age I should have some grey but I don't :)

    Mr SA is worried about tomorrow, he's just had another fall into a plant in the living room scattering soil everywhere. Took ages to clean up :(

    I've booked myself in at the doctors next month for the health check plus finally going to do something about my bunion I've been putting off for years :eek:

    Hope all goes well tomorrow - you’re both bound to be worried.
    Pleased to hear you are going for a health check and getting your bunion sorted. You have to look after yourself as well as Mr SA.
    Working from home sounded good - is it something you could do more often?

    Yes milann we've all got to work from home at least one day a week due to desk shortages at work. I'm working from home tomorrow too Plus next Thursday.

  • I hope everything goes well for Mr SA tomorrow.

    It's a good idea for you to have a health check and your bunion sorted. Will they do the bunion on the NHS or do you have to pay?

    Do you like working from home? Hopefully you have a quiet space to use.

    HH I like working from home but couldn't do it all the time as I enjoy the interaction with work mates. 1-2 days a week would be good though, although I might have to get a proper desk and chair at some stage. We have all been given Surface Pros so we can be more flexible but they are very small screen-wise, plus the keyboard is awkward for me as I'm a touch typist.

    I won't pay for the bunion, no way, I don't have the money to anyway. The young girl who did my nails for holiday said her mum was only waiting 6 weeks for her bunion op on NHS. I don't mind how long it takes I've been putting up with it for years.

    Ooohhh - I’d love to work from home occasionally - :rotfl: don’t think they’d let me bring the children here though - we keep offering to do flexitime too - starting at 3 when the little darlings go home but they’re not having any of it :D:D
    I’ll be thinking of you tomorrow- hope all is well :beer:
