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 mindI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4 -

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

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.

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 itOn the plus side everyone is safe. Always something

Morning all, thought I'd get on here before the forum goes down later.
Happy Thursday
The bar I mentioned last night isn't too badly damaged, they need a new kitchen but everything else is ok some smoke damage but will clean. They appealed for help with the cleaning up/painting if anyone is out there and has some spare time, looks like they've had plenty of volunteers which is lovely
Going to walk down to the local shops today. Mr SA wanted to come and mentioned coffee. I said no I want to go on my own and I'm not paying out for another coffee. I can't get through to him about trying to save money. I was so annoyed with him on Tuesday as he'd been out and about on his scooter and picked up two crates of beer, bargain he said two crates of 10 for £10. I looked at the receipt and they were actually £10 each (it was Mr SA got the price wrong not the shop). So much more expensive than getting them from Mr M :mad: Thanks to him there now won't be as much left in the budget at the end of the week, it was looking good at the start. He's always been like this though, I used to plan ahead and budget then he would go and buy something that completely blew it. Thankfully I have more control over it now.
Mr M order part 2 coming this morning then that's it no more food shopping until next week.

Finally I’ve managed to find my own diary. What a faff, not happy. Honestly if it’s this much trouble might be time to call it a day. Why when things are changed it’s never for the better?
I used to follow diaries via subscriptions and that option seems to have disappeared. Can only access MSE via my phone, all other options either say the website doesn’t exist or won’t accept my new password. Grr.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5 -
I had that problem at first but it seemed to be okay later. Your subscriptions are in your bookmarks , right hand side of screen top of page.Hope it works for youLife is an adventure, never stop exploring.7
