Thanks all, the highlights ... mmm, lots of beautiful places to visit, Marseilles and Valencia in particular. George Michael tribute was fabulous, and being on my own I could please myself so went back in for the second showing
A favourite bar where a guy played piano, took requests and played anything and everything from Mr Brightside to Buble. Lots of lovely bits, lots of sunshine, watching dolphins jumping alongside the ship, and actually coming home feeling I'd achieved something by going by myself and having a great timeMortgage Total: £51,549 / £75,000

It passed!! The only advisory was that the front wiper blades are starting to go. So £285 and the car is back home, very relieved, I didn't get it serviced last year so was expecting it to be worse than thatMortgage Total: £51,549 / £75,000

Today I am off to have my eyebrows microbladed - I am using my birthday money for this. A friend at work recommended the lady who does hers and they look great so I am hopeful of similar.
I have also done something else I have been thinking about for quite a while ... I have ordered my first Mounjaro pen. It is a weightloss injection, I have been researching it for quite a while now, and despite repeated efforts to get back on the getting in shape boat it hasn't happened for more than a week or so. Hopefully it will be here at some point next week. I will keep you postedMortgage Total: £51,549 / £75,000

Eyebrows are looking great, very happy with them
Today I'm meeting a friend for coffee this morning then meeting another friend for a walk with her new puppy this afternoon. I must have a look at my to do list at some point as that has taken a backseat.Mortgage Total: £51,549 / £75,000

Met my friend for coffee and had a good catchup. time for some lunch then off to meet another friend. I might try and get the grass cut in between although I have a thumping headache - I woke up with it, I think I slept a bit funny as my neck ached too although that has cleared now.

Today is a house reset kinda day. It's not too bad but there's bits everywhere that need putting away, bits that need cleaning and sorting, and I only have one week left before we go back to school, so today is a reset day. First load of washing is in, dishwasher is done and needs emptying, back doors are wide open so the fresh air is blowing in and the first coffee has been made.Mortgage Total: £51,549 / £75,000
