Hope you have a lovely day, and sending DD healing thoughts and good wishes. XX
I Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy1 -

Hope you have had a lovely day and everything goes smoothly for your DD1

Thank you all ☺️
DD hasn’t had her op yet. The surgeon refused to do it because he said her aneurysm wasn’t stable and needed re-coiling. As her gall bladder is so close to the aneurysm it would be too dangerous to remove it at this time. So she’s waiting for surgery on the aneurysm, the gallbladder is on hold 😞 When I last spoke to her she had to end the call as she had to go so hopefully that was her going into surgery. What a blooming nightmare!Anyway…
I had a lovely day out with my friends. We had a potter round the shops in the market town where one of my friends lives before going for lunch. I bought 2 pairs of summer trousers from a little boutique and was looking at a bag when the shop owner said I could have it for £5 as it had a tiny stain on it. Personally I couldn’t see the stain it was that faint so what a bargain! It’s a lovely bag and the strap alone is fabulous.Popped into Lidl on the way home and picked up the free strawberries and bananas plus a few other bits.Didn’t get home until 6pm so jumped straight into the bath. I’m absolutely shattered so will be off to bed soon 🥱I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6 -
I hope your DD has had the aneurysm fixed and is recovering by now.
Your day out sounds really nice, especially as you have souvenirs. What's the bag like?I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
