Hello Everyone,
I thought you might like to know all about my weekend. It`s beens been quite eventful, at least I think so. Yesterday morning Jim and I went shopping for my Christmas present. Instead of trying in vain to find a parking space, Dan dropped us off in the High Street and left us to our own devices. It made a nice change to go shopping in town on a Saturday especially as it wasn`t as busy as I thought it would be. We met Slava and Roman in the town and we went to M&S for a well deserved cappuchino and piece of cake. Slava had left Kerry at home to enjoy a quiet morning while he also shopped for presents. Afterwards we went our separate ways and continued our search for the brown leather boots that I wanted and guess what? I found then almost straight away in Wallis AND they only had my size AND they were reduced by £25 too! If that wasn`t enough, I saw a smashing pair of black leather shoes, again in the sale that I bought for myself...what a great day this had turned out to be.
We ended up spending five and a half hours in town by which time we were footsore and very, very tired. We were going to walk home but Jim saw a taxi waiting outside the shopping centre and that was that, a nice comfy ride home was much appreciated especially as we were carrying some heavy bags and I had an armful of Christmas decorations that were too big to fit in a bag. We were home just long enough to put everything away before Roman came over for the evening. Kerry was working and Slava had a dance engagement so it was Nanna and Grandad to the rescue again. When it was time for bed he screwed his little face up and yelled as loudly as possible but I wasn`t having any of it and he did put up as much as a fight as last time. I think he`s getting the message that it`s best not to argue with this big bad grandmother...lol!
Last night we watched the semi final of Strictly Come Dancing. Wasn`t it good? I was amazed that Emma and Darren were voted off but then the voting public obviously didn`t want them to stay. Mark and Karen did a terrific Argentine tango, it was the best dance I`d seen in the series and I hope they win the competion, they certainly deserve to. What will I watch once the series ends? I suppose I`ll just have to spend more time online instead...lol!
Today was busy because I had two weeks worth of ironing to do. Last Sunday morning we went out so I thought I`d leave to the lot until today, it seemed like a good idea at the time! Today it took nearly 3 hours to finish, I thought my arms were going to fall off ...lol! Jim went out and bought some poinsettias from another rival garden centre, they are really nice and much cheaper too. How disloyal I am...lol! Tomorrow I`ll buy some nice pots to put them in, at the moment they have silver foil wrapped around to make them look nice. This afternoon I spent some time playing games on here then this evening Jim and I went out for a meal. I`d love to be able to tell you that it was lovely but it wasn`t...it was horrible, very bland and overcooked, apart from the vegetables and they were undercooked. We didn`t complain but we won`t be eating there again I can tell you.
Danny is out at the moment at his company Christmas party. I think Sunday is a strange day to hold it as they all have to go to work tomorrow but never mind, it`s better than no party at all. Jim`s company are probably not going to bother this year...Scrooges! Talking of my son and heir we have a little problem with him, at least I do, Jim thinks it`s funny. Do you remember me saying one of the reasons Dan will fit in well is because he`s very quiet like me first thing in the morning? Well, how wrong could I be, quiet he ain`t. It`s not just that he chats in the morning, I could just about cope with that. He seems to think that it`s ok to have deep and meaningful discussions at 6.15 in the morning. WELL IT`S NOT OK DANNY BOY!!!! Leave me alone with my weetabix, cup of tea and newspaper and let me wake up slowly.....please!
I`ve just noticed the time and I have 2 mins to finish this entry before a programme I want to watch begins. So I`ll bid you goodnight, and take care.

It sounds like a busy shopping weekend to me...and you enjoy that program!!! Hugs and love,

Deep meaningful conversations at 6:15?! No, that's not on! You've let Roman known you'll have none of his nonsense and now it's Danny's turn! Lol! I'm glad you got the boots and shoes. I bought boots and shoes yesterday, the boots made a blister under my foot and the shoes which fitted perfectly in the shop refused to go on my feet at home! Oh well! If I had the energy I'd take them back! Have a good week! Jeannette xx http://beta.journals.aol.co.uk/jlocorriere05/Welcometomytravels/
Glad you found yourself those much wanted boots and another pair of shoes also. How lucky can you get? LoL on Jim getting those poinsettias at another place. Sounds as if Roman is learning who is boss at bedtime. Guess your son's ways have changed since he moved away. My daughter is like you about not wanting to talk when she first get up. My son is more like me. Awake early and fully awake. I see him on the computer early lots on the weekends when he could be still sleeping. Hugs, Helen
i am a grumpy butt when i first get up...i can not even eat for about 2 hrs afterwards or i will hurl...so i am smiling at Danny's need for deep conversation when you only want dead silence. I am glad you found what you wanted and more on your shopping adventure.
love,lj

New boots and new shoes?? How lucky are you?? Sounds like a wonderful day.
LOL on Roman! How can he even THINK he'd win that battle with Grandma??!! LOL!
You are like me in the morning. I can't have conversation in the morning....let alone DEEP conversation. OMG you HAVE to tell him!! Good luck!

Sandra, you've been a very good girl this year! New brown leather boots and an extra new pair of shoes too! The crowds in Norwich on Saturday were huge! We got all of our shopping done too. Both Willow and I are morning people and so Edwin suffers mightily in the morning. Enjoyed your lovely entry!
Love,
Susie

Glad you found your boots Sandra, fancy them having them ONLY in your size, AND on sale!!! What a bargain, yay for the extra shoes!!

Lol at Danny. Well, you will sort it out between you I am sure. Glad you had such a productive shopping trip, it is always nice to get the things you really want. I know you adore having Roman despite him not wanting to go to bed. I would certainly have complained about the meal and got a reduction. I could not believe that Emma was voted off. She is far superior to Matt. He has come a long way but he is not the dancer that Emma is. Goes to show that the sports fans must be voting big time. Mark just has to win. He looks like he has been dancing all his life.

I am glad you found the boots you wanted along with the shoes on sale and hope they feel and fit great. It has just turned colder with rain here in S. Illinois after being 60 F during the day last week. I guess Roman voiced his opinion at bed time, lol ! Perhaps Danny will get the message to not get into deep and meaningful discussions early in the morning. mark
Glad you got your boots! Wow,what a bargain too. Dan sounds lovely. . .hope he shuts up though and lets you eat your breakfast in peace lol
WHAT KIND OF GAMES DO YOU PLAY ON HERE SANDRA? WHAT PROGRAMME DID YOU WATCH?
GOT A NEW UPDATE IN MY JOURNAL, CHECK IT OUT.
SHAY.
