Sandra Scribbles Day Off

Hello Everyone,

I`m continuing with my snow theme even though there hasn`t been one single flake of the white stuff.  In this part of England however, it`s doubtful we see any at all so this is the nearest I`ll get to it...lol! We had a bit of a scare with Roman this evening with Kerry having to call the emergency doctor.  Roman`s temperature went up sharply this evening and the doctor was quite concerned.  Kerry took his advice and now his temperature has fallen but if it goes up again she has to call him straight back on the emergency number he gave her. She told me that if it happens again she and Slava are taking him straight to A&E.  Poor Little Man, he`s had conjunctivitus and a heavy cold and he was getting better. Now it seems his glands are very swollen and it looks as though it`s his throat that`s causing the trouble. I hope he get`s over it soon, bless him.

                   

Being my day off work, this morning I went into town and did my exchanges. I managed to change Jim`s jumper for a larger size and his jeans for a smaller one though they were in another colour. Dan`s trousers are out of stock :o( and I couldn`t find another jacket. :o( so I took a credit note with a view to spending it in another Mark`s and Spencer. I DID find a very nice jacket but it was too big and they don`t do a smaller size....I was disappointed because I love the style. Never mind, Kerry and I are going to Windsor on Tuesday and there branch of M&S, though smaller, has a far better selection than ours. Hopefully I can find something there. I did find a nice jumper in the sale for £8 and another for £5 but that one has to go back as it`s a very poor fit. The body fits nicely but the arms are really tight. I have really thin arms too. I`d like to meet the person it does fit though I doubt I`d find them in a hurry.

                                  

I met Kerry in town at 9.45 and it wasn`t very busy then. Later when we were walking down the High Street the crowds started to build up and I just couldn`t be bothered to spend too long there. We went into Marks and Spencer for coffee, at least we did after I`d queued up to exchange the pressies. It`s such a nice cafe with soft chair and settees where we can relax and chat and they make the best cappuchinos, much better than Costa or Starbucks and it costs much less too. M&S now has a rival in the coffee stakes with a new branch of BB`s opening at the other end of town, they are my favourites when we go somewhere without a M&S cafe, I`ll have to be disloyal and give them a try next week when I`m in town with Jim....lol!

                 

Did anyone watch that drama last night called Perfect Parents? It was about a couple who lied about their faith to get their daughter into a Catholic school. The ramifications of it certainly proved that lying never does anyone any good. It was an excellent drama but it certainly makes you think. Anyway I must leave you now. Jim will be home soon and I still have some journals left to read. Have a great weekend my friends and take care. :o)
