    Hello onedaysomeday :)

    Had a lovely lunch with my friends, we've known each other since we were 11 years old and have kept in touch all these years. I think we talked non stop for 3 hours.

    Prior to lunch I had my eyes tested and, as suspected, they have deteriorated. They tried to say I need varifocals, but I insisted I only need glasses for reading and computer work not distance. In the end they said I need occupational glasses which work will pay for. Eye test was free thanks to voucher. Then I went for coffee and cake in John Lewis with voucher :)

    I had a £7 voucher for Debenhams and found a lovely sun dress on the 70% off rail for £13.50, will be fab for Lanzarote plus extra happy because it was a size 8 and fitted perfectly :) Originally I wanted a jumper but couldn't find one.

    I was a bit naughty though and on the way to the pub I passed Joules and they had 25% off everything, ended up with a lovely top - oops.

    Not exactly gone mad though to be honest and really enjoyed my day off :)
