Morning all!
Johanne-just to reassure you I had the top of my little toe cut off when I was little...was fine. I also had various snips on my head, ears etc and lived to tell the tale.
OK, plan for the weekend:
As many loads of washing as possible, one already drying on airer, another in washing machine, plus ironing to do.
Tidy desk
Attempt to sort out crafting stuff
Make either cakes or biscuits or both! (Sunday)
Find somewhere for the new (second hand) bookcase to live
Make space and get exercise bike out of hall cupboard and use it to lose some weight before Christmas (BFs job)
Finish living room up to level 3
Hope everyone has a good weekend.Grocery budget in 2023 £2279.18/£2700Grocery budget in 2022 £2304.76/£2400Grocery budget in 2021 £2107.86/£2200Grocery budget in 2020 £2193.02/£2160Saving for Christmas 2023 #15 £ 90/ £3650 -
