Morning all happy Friday.
Day off work today and going out with friends for the day. Really looking forward to it, it’s exactly what I need at the moment, a day away from work and Mr SA, glorious 🙂I’m aiming to get to the city centre for around 8.30 and go for a coffee before catching the train. Mr SA has lost one of his gloves so I’m going to pick up another pair from Primani.Forgot to say yesterday I picked 4 peppers and an aubergine from the greenhouse. I kept forgetting they were there I’ve been so busy just lately.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping) -.literally have been run over by a bike, mobility scooter and a car - still here 💪5 -
Amazing to be picking peppers & aubergines this late in the year.
F2026's challenges: 1) To rebuild our Emergency Fund to at least £5k.
2) To read 50 books (12/50) 3) The Re-Shrinking of Foxgloves 8.1kg/30kg
Remember....if you have to put it on a credit card, extend your overdraft or take out a loan to buy whatever it is, you probably can't afford it, as that's not your money, it's somebody else's!2 -

Thank you all I had a lovely day. Mr SA only phoned once and that was to say the electrician had fixed the extractor fan in the bathroom. No chance of him coming to look for me as I was 40 miles away 😆I bought two handbags from a little independent boutique in the market town where my friend lives 😬 To be fair the owner gave me a discount, neither of the bags were expensive, £47 for the two, and I love both of them. I have plenty in my personal spends pot so all covered off.We had a lovely lunch and shared a bottle of wine. The day was over far too soon and it was time to catch the train home. Walked home from the station and stopped off at Lid!. Used the 50% off vouchers - deluxe pizza, garlic bread slices and salad leaves. If I had room in the freezer would’ve stocked up. Has anyone else had the 50% off vouchers?It won’t be a late night as I’m shattered after my big day.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping) -.literally have been run over by a bike, mobility scooter and a car - still here 💪5
