Happy Friday 🥳🎉
Have been in the office today but finished early. I never do a full day on Friday. Thank goodness for flexi time.Not a NSD as bought some much needed bras from M&S, been waiting for a Sparks discount and there was 15% off. I also had a voucher for £3 and a double points one too. They said they’re phasing out the Sparks card in favour of the app, I didn’t know that, not had a message about it.Had to go to L*dl on the way home for yet more bread and milk. I had a coupon for free nice biscuits so picked those up and dropped them in the food bank box. Also picked up some geraniums for the patio pots.Exercise today has been walking to/from work 20,000 steps. Tonight’s dinner is a portion of chickpea and spinach curry from the freezer with a mini garlic naan bread.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6 -

Happy Saturday 🥂Bit late with my update but I’ve been really busy.Did my usual ClubFit class this morning, then took the dog on the park, then went to the local shops for a paper - yes only a paper nothing else 🥳
The bargain dress has arrived and it’s gorgeous. The only downside is it has a lining and it might be too hot in Zante for it. I took a similar sort of dress with me last year and it made me sweat just putting it on 😆
After lunch had my pink glitter gel nail colour that I had done for my holiday removed and replaced with a bright blue/green.By the time I got home the sun had finally come out and it was lovely and warm. Did a bit of gardening then sat in my hanging chair reading my book for a bit making the most of the sunshine. It’s still beautiful now.Looking forward to Eurovision tonight, will try really hard to stay awake.I’m on just over 18,000 steps so might make 20,000 by the end of the day.Tonight’s dinner is pizza, wedges and salad, plus Prosecco of course 😋I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5 -
You've had sun today, @Sun_Addict? Gosh, you are not at all far from us as the crow flies & I can tell you that we have had no sunshine whatsoever today. It's been grey & chilly all day. We have both been saying how cold it feels for mid-May. We must have been stuck under a non-moving bank of cloud, bah!

It was grey, cold and cloudy until around 2pm when the sun finally broke through and it was really warm. It’s still sunny now but cooler.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3

I am hoping for a sunnier day tomorrow. If I'd gone out to sit on our coffee bench today, I would have had my coat on!

Hey look at me still awake - ish 🤣 I did briefly fall asleep and missed a few songs. Then went to the loo and missed most of the UK song. Me and things after 9pm don’t mix 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3

I like Israel, Sweden, Poland and UK. My favourite Eurovision song of all time is Euphoria by Loreen (Sweden), absolutely love, love, love that song ❤️I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3
