I've caught up on the last few pages.
Wreck I read your list of purchases too quickly and thought you'd bought some peacocks! Thankfully the class bear isn't a thing here so we never had to worry about it.
Girlie your salmon and pesto dish sounds nice and simple enough that I think even I could manage it. Glad you're a little better today.
em shame the sellers are taking their appliances with them but it means you can pick out exactly what you want. Your dinner out sounded fab and even nicer knowing you'd no bill at the end of it because it was already paid for with the gift card.
TakeItSlow very convenient having a cake shop next door to DS's piano lessons. Possibly too convenient 
.
mammy I've seen quite a few house spiders over the past week or so. I discovered one dangling from the bristles of my toothbrush the other evening 
. DH offered to wash it for me (the toothbrush, not the spider) but I declined and threw it out. I just couldn't bear to use it again after that.
MIL and FIL called in earlier. MIL baked us an anniversary cake and also gave us a card and some scratch cards. It was really nice of her and also a useful reminder that our anniversary is coming up in a few days 
. We don't really celebrate it much ourselves but at least I'll remember to wish DH a happy anniversary on the day. Well, hopefully I'll remember!
I spent €9.15 on lunch and dinner ingredients in my local shop. I need to do a big shop soon.
It's very dismal here today - grey and rainy.
There's a colour run here tomorrow. Except it's a walk rather than a run. Everyone wears white clothes and then as you walk around the course, you get volunteers throwing powder paint on you. I did it last year and it was a lot of fun. Just hoping the weather's dry. If it rains, there won't be much of a turn out.
