    A bit headachy today so only did a bit of sorting out and no packing.
    PAD of £20 and first payment of £7.57 to my virtual sealed pot.
    Another NSD and still holding off grocery shopping. Will have to pop out and grab at least some essentials soon. Hoping to go as long as possible without a major shop.

    Maybe we are all clones?! Anyone else wearing Totes Toasties??

    I desperately want to buy a new notebook for my bag as I've filled one up but I'm trying to wait until April!! I have some larger unused ones so I should really make do with those.

    CB1962 No idea I'm afraid. I haven't spotted a new diary but will go for a search! Will let you know if I find Missy

    No toastie slippers, I have fake looking ugg style ones, nice and furry.

    Link to chickpea soup. It's scrummy, I added bacon to mine as well.
