Lovely birthday present SA! Enjoy the gin!🤪🤪🤪
I love beanie's list. If you could get him to at least stop nagging that would be great!Fingers crossed for the holiday but if you don't get away make sure you get to the women's meet up!Finally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟

I have eyebrows again, waxed and tinted, nails also done 😁 Developed a sudden cough before I went to the beauty salon which has since vanished. I’m sure it’s psychological.
New printer up and running, holiday documents printed.Two loads of washing done but raining ☔️ Better day forecast for tomorrow though ☀️Mr SA bombarding me with things he needs for holiday 👎
Mental note not to eat extra strong mints with a face mask on - made my eyes run.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)8 -

Oh, I am jealous. Been trying to do my nails, etc myself but I am desperate to have my hair cut and coloured. Holding on till next month before I (hopefully) go on holiday but I think I'll phone next week so I can be sure of getting an appointment. How long does waxing eyebrows last? I often thought about doing it.
What on earth does he need for his holidays? Surely not another bumbag!!!Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.7 -
The eyebrow wax and tint lasts around 6 weeks. I have mine done more for the tint as they are so fair they are virtually non-existent. So far Mr SA needs 5 lypsyls (yes 5 for 1 week!!), sudocream and face cream. This is before he looks at what clothes he has to take so the list will probably grow.
DS's OH is currently training to be a nail technician so this may well be the last time I use the salon for nails. To be honest I only have my nails done professionally when I go away or at Christmas. I only have a gel colour on my own nails not extensions.
Going to pack the toiletries bag shortly just to see what's needed then I can nip to Savers tomorrow for anything we haven't got.
Lovely and quiet at the moment because Mr SA, the dog and the cat are all fast asleep and DD is at work. Bliss.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)9 -
I was just going to suggest asking Mr SA for a nail voucher to use next time then I read on about your ds oh. Ah well it was a nice idea.
5 lipsyls 🙄 you’ll have to bring some clothes out that he’s forgotten about as if you’ve bought them for him.
I’ve been looking at my dds photos in Greece - it looks beautiful. I’m not very well travelled- might have to do something about that one of these days.....January spends - £587.588 -
That sounds good. I could have it done at the same time as my hair. Don't suppose Mr S A would buy you a voucher for a spa day somewhere? That way you could destress and get away from him at the same time. 5 lypsyls? What does he do? Eat them?Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.7

That's going to be very handy once DS's OH qualifies as a nail technician.Toni'sfriend's spa idea is excellent - or do you think he would want to tag along!😫
I can't think why he would need any new clothes for his holiday - he must have tons in his wardrobe!Finally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟

I’m not sure about a spa day. The best spas are in the middle of nowhere, there is one in a hotel in the city centre but I’m not sure I’d enjoy it. I get bored easily and just want things to be done quickly and go. I’m hoping to see something in Greece like a bracelet that will remind me of the holiday. Failing that I’d like a really nice gin glass and a posh gin but would wait until we got back home for that. I’d also love a day out shopping somewhere like Birmingham just to myself but that’s not going to happen any time soon.
A friend has messaged me to say expect a birthday delivery tomorrow 😁
Still looking good for holiday, infection rates are down - yet again they are in the mainland not Zante. Fingers crossed but we should know for sure on Friday, I think the list is updated Thursday night 🤞I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)9 -
Hope all goes to plan
