    Thank you Beanie :)

    Awwww my little GD is donating 7 inches of her hair to the Princess Trust. They make wigs for children who've lost their hair to cancer. Just sponsored her. She's only 5 so it's a lovely thing for her to do, will be going to watch. She was growing her hair to be as long as Rapunzel's (her words) obviously changed her mind :)

    Morning all (just) :)

    Virgin are upgrading services in our area so had no internet access for a while which made it a bit of a pain working from home as I couldn't access my work. It seems to be ok now but I think it might be intermittent.

    Mr SA got up a lot earlier than normal this morning and came to ask me where his lunch is 30 minutes ago. I sent him away with a flea in his ear :D

    Leg was fine overnight and I slept well without have to resort to painkillers or gin :)

    Please be careful and don’t think you are superwoman by going back too soon. I can’t believe you’ve only just been given a crutch - it would have made life a lot easier for you these last few weeks.
    Bet Mr SA was gutted when his CASH message didn’t get the results he wanted.

    I've just had a text from Mr SA saying "cash". I was a bit puzzled as he's only sitting in the next room and I gave him £10 yesterday. On questioning him he thought he'd sent the text to a Loose Women competition :rotfl: See what I have to put up with :rotfl:

    Milann I was given the option of crutches before but couldn't balance on them properly because of my other dodgy ankle so they gave me a frame. I've only got the one crutch just to stabilise myself now I can walk. I will be careful - honest :)

    Mr SA is convinced it's Thursday today which is driving me nuts.

    Leg is OK tonight, a bit swollen but I haven't done much on it today so not painful.

    I belong to a FB group for where we go in Lanzarote and one of our favourite bar/restaurants has had a fire. The owners and staff are lovely and I'm so gutted for them. It's my gin of the day for €4 place they've tried
    so hard to make a success of it :( On the plus side everyone is safe. Always something :(

    Today has been NSD2 of February :)
