    Glad you had such a lovely day out :) Sorry to hear it sounds like you're coming down with the dreaded lurgy that's doing its rounds :(

  • I seem to be coming around from the lurgy, went to my new doctors yesterday for my flu jab so that's done.

    I am working 5 days this week to help cover for half term as my own GKs are away so I am not needed. I will be glad for Friday to be over.

    Took DS shopping to the big shopping centre for his Xmas present a new coat. He went over budget but paid the difference so no issue for me. We had our dinner and he paid .

    I bought a gift for a new baby and got an extra 10% off.

    The scaffolding has gone now , so fingers crossed the roof is now squirrel proof.

    I received some very welcome news yesterday which is a massive relief for myself and family, .

    Best get ready for work .
    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.
