I’ve had a fabulous time today. I think out of all my friends I meet up with this is my favourite.Found an absolute bargain in a CS where my friend lives. A brand new looking coat for £10.50. It’s exactly what I was looking for and I love it. Really pleased with it. Obviously they have a better class of donations where she lives 🤣 Saved me a lot of money and looking around that’s for sure.I’m shattered again tonight after two days on the trot gadding about. I had a new ironing board and iron delivered yesterday and still haven’t taken them out of the box, no rush mind 😆

Morning all, happy Saturday.Thank you all for your lovely comments.I’m shattered this morning, could do without DS and the GKs coming today but it is what it is. I need to do some serious tidying up and have loads of ironing to do. Better get the new ironing board and iron out of their boxes 😆 The B00ts order arrived yesterday and I haven’t even looked at that properly yet.Tomorrow we’re off to the city centre again to pick up Mr SA’s glasses - could really do without that.I’m looking for some showerproof ankle boots comfortable enough to walk to work in when it’s raining. I can see plenty online but I’m really hesitant about buying footwear without trying on first. P@vers have the exact ones I’m looking for but we don’t have a local store. I hate it when I know exactly what I want but can’t find it.Also considering getting a pre lit Christmas tree this year as I hate putting lights on the tree plus our tree is a nightmare to put up and take down, I battle with it every year.Plans for today ClubFit shortly then the big Mr T to recycle soft plastics and I need some fresh coriander. I’m taking Mr SA and the dog with me so the dog gets a walk out of it and Mr SA gets his going out fix.Curry night tonight, making butternut squash dhal. Rose cava is in the fridge ready for Strictly.
I would love a day when I don’t have to go anywhere or do anything just to catch up on things.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)1 -
Don't know how you do these back to back busy days. I m knackered after one 🤣🤣🤣0
