Thank you all 🥰
I don’t feel like I’ve done much today but when I look back I’ve achieved a fair bit.First thing this morning set up a catch up with some friends. This is the one involving a train journey that I really enjoy.Took the dog on the park this morning and did another litter pick. Annoys me that there are plenty of bins there why won’t people use them 😖
Didn’t do the usual Mr T trip as I wanted to get some cleaning done and we didn’t need anything.Used my guided cleans to do the bathroom and living room.Got out the autumn fireplace garland, wreath and leaves that I put in the fireplace so we are all set for autumn.Packed away my summer clothes/sandals and got out my autumn/winter clothes and boots.Retrieved some pizza bases from the freezer that have been there absolutely ages to use up for tonight’s pizza dinner. Mr SA declared them gorgeous. I was a bit worried they might be stale after being there so long but they were fine.DS and the GKs visited this afternoon. Conversation was mainly focused on the forthcoming wedding.It was another NSD.And best of all tonight is the return of Strictly my favourite show 🥳I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)9 -

Oooh I forgot Strictly was starting tonight! Will have to watch it on catch up!
Come Dancing! That's a Rave from the Grave!😂😂😂. My mum used to watch it too and I remember when it was filmed in black and white. The commentator always used to describe the dresses and what colour they were. Had to wait till we got a colour telly before I could see them in all their glory!😂Finally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟
