Good morning peeps,
I had a whole day out in the big wide world yesterday which I haven't done since before I started on the new painkillers, I couldn't take them yesterday due to driving & blimey didn't I notice the difference which was painful but also good as it proved how much they help :) Hubby, Jodie & I all went to Cribbs Causeway for a bit of shopping, actually a lot of shopping lol & lunch. I got chased, yes literally chased by a woman who I was about to belt over the head thinking she was after my handbag but she grabbed my hand & was babbling on about my fingernails being real & beautiful !!! I was so shocked & all hubby & Jode could do was stand there in fits of laughter, I couldn't decide if she was leading up to trying to sell me something or just a nutter after my fingernails & I didn't hang around to find out lol.
Today is new challenge day at
