    Coffee and bacon buttie in bed with the sun streaming through the window - lovely! (Have been toying with the idea of going veggie - but one thing at a time for now!).

    Have a wonderful day all, whatever you're up to.

    Don't tell BHB that!!! :eek:

    A bacon buttie sounds luverly, just had a choklit croissant and coffee, about to take the kids round to mums and take mum to get her shopping which is a weekly routine, she's getting on and can't carry it home on the bus everyday so I take her on a Sunday to fill her cupboards up for the week. Then she's looking after my monsters whilst I go to the laundrette just up the road to wash my duvets, there is nothing like getting into a bed that smells fresh and clean and Lenor'd!! Although you probably all think I'm mad, washing my duvets today is a treat for myself for being sober and being able to go to bed and actually appreciate the lovely smell rather than being 3 sheets and collapsing into the bed and not noticing :)

    Simple things :rolleyes:

    Problem that I have my dear, is that I can't decide between 2 people :undecided

    Oh and a day at the laundrette, now you really are pushing the boat out, fast lane indeed ;)

    Oh yeah baby :cool:

    Jo I think that I know who you mean and yes it is difficult, take your time on deciding. But there is I am afraid only one prize. Mineral water is not cheap you know :rotfl::rotfl:

    As we say its the taking part that counts ;)

    Hugs me dear
