Another one here who is intrigued where the sun cream will reappear.
Single digit countdown to your holiday now. Almost there.3 -
I don't know where the suncream will appear but I can guarantee when, approximately 5 minutes after you've given in and bought some more5

That's Monday done.
Worked in the office today but only stayed until lunchtime as I got absolutely drenched on the walk in this morning. Torrential rain and extremely strong winds. My jeans, trainers and socks never dried out and I'd had enough of feeling cold, wet and miserable in the office so came home to finish up.
Have done my usual Monday finance check and paid off the cc balance. A few things still pending, one I don't recognise, hoping that will disappear or I will be querying it.
Not a NSD as spent £2.48 in Lid! on the way home. Picked up the free item - chocolate chip cookies for Mr SA.
Today's exercise: walking to/from work and hula hooping at 6pm.
Tonight's dinner is lightly dusted yellowfin sole with swede "chips" and steamed veg.
I still have a few places to look for the sun cream. It's a mystery as I keep all the holiday toiletries in a little storage box usually but it's not in there. I have a feeling I put it all together in a toiletry bag, it probably got packed away with the summer clothes.
Well this time next week I'll have logged off for 2 weeks 😎 Trust me to be working right up until the last minute!I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6 -
I’ve found the sun cream 👏🥳 It was in an old Soap & Glory tin on the top shelf of the fitted wardrobes. Thank goodness for that. It’s also got the mosquito bite paraphernalia for Mr SA as he will be bitten by them several times. In fact they’re probably gathering at the airport in preparation for his arrival as I speak.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)10

I have every sympathy with Mr SA & the biting things. Last summer I stood by an open window, fully dressed obviously, just for a couple of minutes & got bitten on my stomach just above my trouser waistband. Normally I have to at least walk out to the garage. Who puts repellant on when they are in their own dining room!!At least you found your sun cream before you got back from your holiday.3
