It's great your DD is improving. How's Mr SA?
That's sweet about the cats.
Well done on getting the blazer and beauty bag - I'm sure every one of us is glad you have something nice after all you've been through recently. And maybe you can pamper yourself from the beauty bag when you go on your rearranged meet-up with your friend.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Mr SA is doing ok, although he still has a cough, thank you for asking. They are both improving daily which is good to see.Cherryfudge said:It's great your DD is improving. How's Mr SA?

I’m pleased to hear that Mr SA and Dd seem to be recovering well. Hope they continue to do so. Just hope Dd paces herself and doesn’t go rushing back to work too soon.
The M&S vouchers sound a bargain. Pleased you’ve treated yourself.January spends - £587.582 -
So pleased things are on the up for everyone at last . Well done on the M&S manoeuvres. Your brain must have more 'compartments' than most to juggle everything you have on the go at any one time.2

I ordered the beauty bag yesterday too, along with my own jacket of choice. Great minds ⭐️

Late posting just been really busy and today has flown by.Did my ClubFit class this morning, took the dog for a run on the park then went to the local shops.DS and the GKs visited this afternoon. After they left I did some gardening then sat in my hanging chair reading my book.Can you believe Mr SA has broken one of the mirrors on his new scooter 😞 He’s had it 2 blooming days 😞 This is why I would never buy him one. He was faffing about adjusting it and snapped it off completely.DD is loads better and is now doing her own cooking again thank goodness.Mr SA is also a lot better as he felt confident enough to take the dog for a scooter ride on his own this afternoon. Also the mirror breakage shows he’s back to his usual clumsy self 😬I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)8

Glad they're both back to normal although the scooter probably doesn't agree!
Hope you enjoy your evening with your cava xSeptember 2017 Debt = £25330

On the gardening front my garden has been completely taken over by herb Robert. It does look quite pretty though and the bees are loving it. Plus it’s growing round the pond where nothing much grows because of the shade from a large tree and it’s providing much needed ground cover in what is normally a barren area.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6
