    Personally I find Prosecco too sweet. But tomorrow we will be reducing our Cava stock to go with roast beef.

    Prosecco is Italian and Cava is Spanish.

    I always buy the extra dry Prosecco as I can’t drink sweet drinks.

  • Great haul of books.  I love Liane Moriartys books and Nine Perfect Strangers is really gripping.

    I wish we had a charity shop that did cheap books. Ours all charge £1 per book.

    Morning all. 

    The older cat woke me up at 5am pulling my hair. I was dreaming about a cat pulling my hair then woke up to find it was actually happening 😐 Mr SA also woke me up at 2am trying to find Gogglebox on the TV 😐 He’s still asleep in bed surprise surprise. 

    I’ve just put a colour on my hair so waiting for that to take. I need to be a lot more productive today. 

    It will be a NSD. Just taking the dog to the park across the road. 

    Ordered a new lunch bag from Am@zon yesterday and that’s coming today. My current one takes up too much room in my work bag, I need one that squashes down. I’ve been looking in lots of physical shops but been unable to find what I want. 

    I need to do a meal plan for next week and decide on a soup to make for work lunches. Also what needs using up for tonight’s dinner. Just received an email from PoN with a mushroom chilli recipe so might make that. I’ve got a steak out of the freezer for Mr SA.

  • That is a good price - especially considering that insurance seems to have gone up generally. 

    I like my Prosecco at the very dry end too. 
  • That's an excellent price for travel insurance. Who do you use?
