It’s ideal for work as it’s cross body plus it has a zipped pocket for my security pass. Can’t beat £5 reduced from £21 and supported a small local business to boot 🙂Cherryfudge said:Oh now, that bag is lovely!

Oh what a palaver for DD, but good that they're being safe and dealing with what needs to be dealt with.
So glad you got to have a good day out, and got a bargain whilst supporting a small business!

Thinking of you and hoping everything is OK with DD. (((hugs))) X
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.

Happy Saturday 🥂Did my usual ClubFit class this morning then took the soft plastic recycling to the big Mr T. Got caught in the rain on the way back 😞
So sick of this weather, one minute sunshine the next torrential rain. Everything is drenched!DS and the GKs visited today to bring Mr SA his Father’s Day card and present.Nothing happening with DD other than she’s still in hospital and waiting for the surgeon to return to work on Monday to decide what to do about her aneurysm and gall bladder. On the plus side they can’t see any active bleeding but a red spot is showing up on scans so they need to decide what that is.The Ibiza holiday is now just over 2 weeks away and looking more doubtful by the minute. It will be a minor miracle if we get there.Tonight’s dinner is pizza and salad. Pink Prosecco has been in the fridge since first thing.I’ve been awarded 3 days of free super Duolingo again thankfully at a weekend this time.Cashed out £8.12 from TCB. This will be added to June’s fritter fund pot. Also did a few surveys this morning.Mr SA received his renewed medical exemption card and we both received our acceptance for postal voting for the next 3 years.The blooming Euros only started yesterday and am already sick to death of it 😩I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6 -
So sorry to hear about DD. It really does seem to be a saga, and she must be so fed up of the waiting to get things sorted, and that's apart from the worry about what's happening. Keeping my fingers crossed that things stay stable until Monday and they can actually get something done. (((hugs))) XX
