Excitement; a letter arrives

 Its not often I get excited by the mail which drops through the letter box. Most of the time its just some firm or other attempting to interest me in their wares, offering money off for first time purchase, or others telling me of the impending sale where they will be slashing their prices by at least 20%.

Then there's the charities attempting to sell their good deeds with harrowing examples of work they do. All most laudable but not as confetti which falls regularly onto the mat, and to be honest, is this a good way to spend the donated money?

Today was slightly different. Yes, the standard unsolicited mail dropped through and went straight into the paper bin without a second glance. 

Then there was the monthly account statement from my mobile company showing me exactly how I had spent the month; as usual, long calls and much internet use, no surprise there then.

And then.....

I looked at the remainder of bits of paper in my hand and spyed  a Saga Cruise envelope. Hopefully, with fingers crossed I opened it (still not convinced this cruise would go ahead in February).  It welcomed me to the pre-cruise information and what was expected before I boarded the ship.

Yippee!!

 I really did bounce inside, made a cup of tea and sat down to delight over the plans. The more I read the more I felt as if I was sitting on that ship. The more I was determined to get this ankle functioning even better than it is right now.

🤔 now what clothes are going to be most suitable for the Arctic.......

Laundry's little helper

I wonder if many know what this is?  I had one.  It was made by Hotpoint and lasted for well over 10 years. I used it frequently...
