    The Christmas fayre was lovely. So many stalls full of great things from local people. All Mr SA was interested in was the bar 😐 I treated DGS to the kids bouncy castle play area which was £5 for 30 minutes, he was bored and came out after 15 minutes 😐 It was quite funny in there though as it was full of over over exuberant boys bouncing off the sides of the bouncy castle. So much energy! 

    I sort of regretted buying DIL’s Christmas present yesterday as there were a few things I thought she’d like. There were some really lovely things. In the end I didn’t buy anything from the stalls but spent a fair bit at the bar buying drinks for everyone. 

    You could take dogs but we left ours at home which was just as well as there were quite a few dogs there and it was very busy so she would’ve found it overwhelming. 

    I’m thinking about taking Friday off to start on the painting. I’m determined to get it done this coming weekend. I’ve watched a couple of YT tutorials on painting so am now a fully qualified painter 🤣🤣 I thought I could do the cutting in (painter speak courtesy of YT 😆) on Friday, the walls on Saturday and the gloss on Sunday.

    Repose is the one I stock up on when it’s on offer.

    I think everyone stocks up on repose on offer. 
    One of my friends does it and sometimes I get a wee sample.
