Struggling with motivation this week so may not be around too much. Hugs to all in need xThe birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
Just sewn DS's Beavers badges on as I'd promised I'd have them done for tomorrow and I hadn't done it. He got his Chief Scout's Bronze award on Monday so he wanted to take his jumper into school to show his badges.NST #10 Steps 7K 2/30 10K 2/12 5 a day 3/30 NSD 0/20
