Well, good afternoon to the daily threaders
It's quiet here so it might be a case of everyone is out and about, exercising? attending weekly weigh-ins perhaps?
Confessions time here, I didn't manage to get back on CD yesterday - but have today. So, I worked a half-day on Friday, had a splendid lunch with a friend in the West End, took her to Butler and Wilson off Bond Street (her first visit and we were lucky enough to meet the owner Simon Wilson in the shop), requested (scrounged) for free perfume samples at Debenhams and then the theatre.
True to form, I bought a pair of sparkly gold-coloured ear-rings in B & W. So much for the self-imposed retail ban?!
For anyone thinking of life in London (Chika and Caroline) I promise that there are many of us on fair but modest salaries that have learnt all of the tricks (nothing saucy intended with that word!) of stretching your leisure budget - my theatre ticket was £3 reduced from full-price of £20, there are good deals in the winter months for restaurants particularly at non-peak times and we have learnt how to put on polite but assertive expressions to get little freebies in the department stores.
Today is a quiet surburban one. My friend that I was out with yesterday will be looking after Patch, a King Charles spaniel that belongs to one of my neighbours, so I will also be taken out for walkies in a couple of hours.
Catch up later x
