Every End Has A New Beginning .... Sketch Saturday Challenge #200

I do apologise  for the lateness of today's post, but you know what its like when you have a huge list of things you want to get done cos the weather  is gorgeous and you don't manage to do anything!  The idea  was to get up early, shower, get dressed and pop to the new store that's opened in town, have a little peruse, go home, have lunch, pop out in the garden and then down to Mum's for dinner this evening!   did it work out that way?  Did it heck!  We managed the getting up early, shower, dressed, breakfast, go to the new store ... but there was definitely no popping ..... 2 hours later and between the 4 of us £90 lighter  we were on our way back to Mum's, where we had  and white chocolate and cranberry cookies   we left around 1.30pm to go back to our house for lunch .  As we pulled up onto the drive Paula announced we needed to possibly go somewhere else ... opening her hand she produced a gold crown   from her tooth ... Have you ever tried to get hold of an emergency dentist  at the weekend?   Well, don't bother ... what a nightmare!  We ended up at Tesco getting a DIY kit called "Toothy Pegs" to last until Monday when she can register with a Dentist and make a visit!  

So, I sit here eating lunch and typing my post, no gardening done and having to return to Mum's in about an hour and half for dinner  ...
