Good to hear that you got a good price on putting up the new greenhouse. 👍
That's a good price too on the Aveeno. I've used Aveeno hand cream for some years now as my hands can get quite dry - I found it the best for results and it has a good not-too-greasy texture. It's often on offer at Boots and Superdrug so I usually take advantage of this and buy a few tubes at a time. Certainly much cheaper than Clinique!😱I agree - so much dithering - you must be monumentally fed up!☹️Finally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟

I used aveno cream for ages and I loved it but I went into Superdrug and there oatmeal cream which was next to the aveno had the same ingredients in and was a lot cheaper I like it better as I have very dry skin plus I have bad varicose veins which can get quite itchy if I don’t keep my skin well moisturised and it’s working brilliant11

That sounds like a result with the cream for Mr SA.It’s a crazy world when we can’t bring our gks in out of the rain without feeling guilty......
The price for the greenhouse sounds reasonable- hope the weather is kind to you.January spends - £587.588 -
Have had a busy Sunday so far, making the most of the lovely sunny day and extra hour by giving the garden a good tidy. The dog and cat were out with me and it was so funny to see the cat running about like a mad thing, shinning up the trees because I was throwing a ball for the dog. So different from yesterday’s rain. Mr SA has either been asleep or watching war films so hasn’t been getting in the way. Downside of having a big garden is all the works it entails. Have more or less filled the garden waste bin with leaves alone. I’ve swept and tidied the area where the greenhouse is going so it’s all ready. It’s going behind the shed at the bottom of the garden where it’s sheltered and gets the sun all day. Because we’ve got nothing at the back of us and we’re so high up it can get rather windy so this spot is ideal.
Not looking forward to it getting dark early.
As I haven’t been anywhere except for the park across the road with the dog, today has been NSD 6 of October.

Caught up, having a Greenhouse would be on my bucket list but no where to put it! What plans have you to grow .........
interested to know both you and @Seasidegal58 view of Rebecca as it has had some poor reviews we sat and watched the black and white one a few weeks ago... but I still love the tv one with Charles Dance.As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or

Morning, happy Monday 😎
I'm ashamed to say I fell asleep watching Rebecca, not because it was boring but because I was tired. That extra hour did me no good whatsoever. I saw about 30 minutes of the start and a bit in middle when I briefly woke up. Mr SA really enjoyed it though. I will have a second attempt at watching it one afternoon this week. I'd forgotten about the TV version Bubblesmum, I remember enjoying that one too.
Have been to the local Mr T Express this morning for some milk and a paper. Saw someone from work and stood chatting to them for a while. It's a nice sunny morning here.
Now I've done the 7 Days of Sweat challenge I need to find something else for this week. Not that I've lost any weight, I'm staying the same every week, starting to wonder if there's something wrong with my scales as they are quite old. I need to lose 6lbs to get back to goal weight but it's proving really difficult at the minute for some reason. This week I'm going to focus on tracking 100% on my WW app, everything that passes my lips will be tracked.
Meals wise this week's focus will be on using up freezer/cupboard stocks. The freezer seems to have got pretty full again so need to run it down a bit.
Have a marvellous Monday x
