    Morning lovelies :wave: Happy St Patricks Day _party_ (if only I wasnt working today otherwise I would of had a celebratory Guinness :D)

    Weather not too bad here today, its abit overcast at the moment but the sun is trying to make an appearance. Hopefully will get some washing dry.

    Back in work this afternoon so need to get cracking. Started the week with good intentions but DD has made life utterly miserable and things have lapsed.

    Ive been using up the contents of the freezer this week and found some beefburgers and some chicken goujons (both premade and supposidly made from 100% beef and chicken) and we couldnt eat them as they were disgusting!!! 100% carp was more like it. How we used to eat and enjoy that kind of sh1te on a regular basis is beyond me. Cooking from scratch is soooo much tastier.

    Anyone for a HHC at 9.30?

    Hugs, sticks, spoons, healing vibes and pass MOT vibes to all
