    Thank you all :)

    Trip to Primani this morning mainly for Mr SA's stuff but I got myself a gorgeous bag for just £7, ideal for daytime use on holiday. Had a coffee in the Costa in said Primani. Then back home to wait for delivery of Mr SA's new scooter. He's over the moon with it and he took the dog out for a spin.

    Suitcases are packed, nightmare packing Mr SA's and he's unpacked his and re-packed it three times now, which was annoying.

    Alarm is set for 3am :eek::eek::eek:

    Taxi is coming at 04.15 and we fly at 07.20. To be honest the airport is only 30 minutes away but would rather get there early. We have the airport lounge booked from 5am.

    Small Mr M online delivery of £27 (£10 voucher plus family discount courtesy of DD). Wish every week was this cheap. Just dog/cat food and a few bits for DD. She has booked the week off to look after the dog.

    Weather has been fabulous here today, I'm sure it has been for everyone by the sounds of it and not before time.

    Will have to go to bed shortly due to early start but we'll be in Lanzarote about 11am so well worth it.

    I can't wait for a week of relaxation in the sun, no work, no cleaning and all spends budgeted for :j

    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.
