  • So glad you had a good day. I fancy going off somewhere for a day by myself, for a wander. But not sure where to go.  Don't like the city centres, but there is a nice market town about 20 miles from here that I like....lots of nice, posh CSs and some independent shops.  Means an inconvenient train with a connection or drive and pay to park...decisions. Might have a think about it

  • What a fab day! 
    Apparently 90s scents are very in at the moment with the young people and lynx is very 90s so they've probably all been bought as gifts for twenty-somethings

    Definitely do this even if you just wander about and have a coffee. One of my friends lives in a market town towards the east coast and I love going to see her and wandering around different shops.

    That sounds like a super day!

    DD and I are off on our annual Christmas shopping day tomorrow. We don't seem to buy a lot but we eat out, talk a lot and have a lovely time. Part of the fun is seeing the city Christmas decorations.

    Nice that Mr SA has his two working watches. :) 
    I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
