Sorry to hear about the allergy and presentation, and the coincidence of the two. Anti-allergy medication is a very good reason not to live in the past (should some time machine ever turn up on your doorstep).
Hope the presentation goes well.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Just wondering about your allergy. I have noticed that if one of my neighbours lets their lawn grow long my hayfever is definitely worse. It doesn't bother me if any of the other (or me even) do, just the one & they seem to have brown things growing in it. Could it be something like that. Then there is my sister who doesn't have much trouble from grass & flowers, but shrubs bushes & trees are a different story, so all year round really.I have noticed my hayfever has got worse since people started leaving things for bees etc. But I have (so far) gone over half of my life with no hayfever at all so counting my blessings.2

Anti-histamine is a gift from the Gods!Hope the presentation went well and that you start to feel better soon. XXI 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 unhappy2 -
Thanks all, the presentation went well.
So fed up of Mr SA's constant phone calls today including two while I was delivering the presentation. I can always tell when he's woken up from his afternoon nap as the calls start up again after a couple of hours silence. Despite me telling him I didn't want him to meet me outside Lid!, he called just as I'd got home saying he was on his way. Told him not to bother as I was already home.
I've got some cream from B00ts I can put on my face, there was loads to choose from and a lot of it was on offer.
Got a good bargain from Lid! as the veggie burgers and sausages were on 15% but some of them were already reduced to clear by 30% so almost half price in the end. Now have enough to last for quite some time 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5 -
Ooh that's a good deal, well done!
Glad the presentation went well and you got your cream.
That's so frustrating about Mr SA's phone calls and nagging. I'm impressed you didn't tell him to meet you while you got a wee bit of peace at home 😁2 -
Morning all, happy Friday eve.
A lovely sunny morning and WFH today.
The dog has a vet check up on her ear infection later this morning. Hopefully this is the last visit until her annual booster in September. I'm going to tie this in with a visit to BnM while I'm down that way.
Today's exercise will be walking to/from the vets (1 hour each way) plus Pilates at lunchtime and Zumba later (if the instructor is back).
Need to sort something out for dinner, still cross with myself I haven't done a meal plan, struggling to get back into the swing of it this week. These pesky holidays don't half through me out of kilter 😆 If I get time I'm going to sort out the freezers yet again. I need to make room for the veggie burgers and sausages anyway. Thinking about getting a frost free chest freezer in the Black Friday sales which is what I should've got in the first place. The overflow freezer I bought is too small for my purposes really.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3 -
Glad the presentation went well.
Mr SA's pestering must be very annoying.
