    Westlife tickets were £55 in may 2019 , same seats Nov 22 , £107 each , my DD loves them but even she thinks it's a rip off .

    If the theatres are trying to recoup lost income from the pandemic it’s not the best way to go about it. It’s going to just put people off going.

    Your granddaughter with her bag packed. 🥰 They obviously love their granny very much. 

    I started watching the Tinder Swindler last night. When the husband came home from work, I grovelled an apology for chastising him for wanting to put the car service on the new credit card. He’s a good boy, such a good boy.

    The work week has been very good so far. I have chosen to spend two days in work this week and two at home , mostly to support a friend who has been struggling with the demands of her job at the minute . Doing the same next week then things will ease off for her . 
    Had our monthly catch up lunch with my boss today , he pays 😀. Very blessed with my manager I must say. 
    Mum and dad have been doing legal things today with their solicitor and mum said she had a headache when she came out ! 
    Managed 2 NSD this week so far.

    Hope your mum and dad have sorted everything they needed to, and can relax knowing it’s done now.
    Your boss sounds brilliant. One place I worked we got dinner with our boss once a year for an appraisal but by the time she had finished talking could never enjoy it…..😂😂😂 was supposed to be a chance for us to talk 😂😂😂 always turned out her telling us the changes for the following nursery year and which children we had.

    I’ve been mostly lucky with my managers, they never bother me and just leave me to get on with my job. On the minus side they have been tricky to get hold of when you need them.
