Go on ... treat yourself ...!

I know that there was a day within the last couple of weeks when I bought something and thought "that's a naughty – but nice – self-indulgence" and I am absolutely sure it was, but I can't remember what it actually was. It will almost certainly be something that I shall use over and over again rather than a passing pleasure as I haven't been out for dinner recently and I very rarely eat sweet things. No doubt, when I come to use whatever it is, it will bring a smile to my face all over again.

Just back from four days in Marrakech with my friend! We both have birthdays around now, and booked it quite impulsively on a shopping trip. We had an amazing few days, including a vigorous hammam and massage - I've never been so clean! I'm back home relaxed and happy

SeeingHummingbird's post made me smile as it reminded me of an incident that happened last year My son and his wife went to Marrakesh to celebrate her 40th.birthday. Our granddaughters stayed with us. When they came back they asked their girls if they would like to see their photos. "No thank you" said my eldest granddaughter, then 8yrs old. " we were not invited so we don' t want to see them" A real put down.

hummingbird . This is a good time of year to take a break and preferably somewhere exotic and warm. You had exactly the right idea.

That was the thinking Anno, wandering about in the sunshine was the perfect antidote to a wet and windy February! I'm with your gd's, BBbevan - I'd be put out too!
