On my goodness Mr SA really is a shopoholic, has he always liked spending or is it due to his ill health? I can see why you pay for the lounge access at the airport, I can imagine him in the shops at duty free would be a nightmare for you :.
Both my DH and DS use a shaving brush and shaving balm, the balm is from the body shop and is really good and lasts them ages,I think traditional shaving has come back into fashion and i know that some of DS friends have had the traditional shaves at a local barber, DS has said he is not brave enough to let anyone go near him and shave him.
Great news that your getting a pay rise.3 -
He’s always enjoyed spending money @pennywisepoundstupid. He was a nightmare before his illness and is much better now but only because he can’t get out and about like he used to.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2

My dad has a shaving brush that I bought him when I worked at a posh dept store , it's still as good as it was 15 years ago. Glad to hear Mr SA is sorted for his hols 😂Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.1

He railways nonsense about safety is just that - Nonsense. As you say the smaller 3 wheeled scooters are very unstable and likely to fall over. Unfortunately its up to train companies to decide if they will take scooters. So much for the disability rights act. It doesnt apply to trians.Well done on the shopping resistance.1

Morning all happy Wednesday.No work today as it’s my birthday 🎂 I have a strict rule never to work on my birthday 😆
The plan for today is to go to the big garden centre for a coffee and one of their beautiful home made scones then have a look around before heading back home via a pub lunch. Get me going to a garden centre on my birthday, what’s become of me 🤣 It is a lovely garden centre though and they sell so much more than plants plus we’ll pass lots of pubs on the way home. We plan to take the dog so hopefully that won’t spoil anything. Last time we took her to a pub she growled at the waiter when he brought our food 😬It’s a very long walk there and back so that will take care of today’s exercise. If my legs and feet can hack it I’ll do my Zumba class later.This time next week we’ll be on the plane flying to Zante, getting so close now ✈️I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5 -
The above plans are dependent on the weather. The forecast says it’s going to be cloudy but dry although it’s looking a bit gloomy at the moment.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2
