    New bag, sun bed and earrings - great.

    DD coming home - even greater. :) 

    No appetite - I won't encourage that but it might let you off the bootcamp when you get home. I always like to treat myself to local spices when I'm on holiday, so I can dream of the sun when I'm cooking (and refill the bottles so I keep the souvenir).

    MY DD is in Lanzarote at the moment and says that though it can be a bit cloudy and windy, it's still fine for sunbathing.

    Enjoy your bag and earrings!  Hope you had a nice relaxing afternoon.  Glad DD is on the mend.

    Not been reading for a few days so only just seem about your daughter, glad to hear nothing serious has been found but sorry it has spoilt you holiday. 

    I get about 300 miles to a tank & it costs me between £60-£70 to fill up so £45ish for 200 miles?

    That's good news about DD.
    The handbag and sangria are well deserved! I also eat the fruit!
