    Morning Guys ( just about!) :)

    Elsiepac- if it makes you feel any better, I'm still in my dressing gown too! :D Like you say, you dont get to do it it very often, you so enjoy your relaxing morning.

    I was hoping to go to a car boot this morning, but the weather isnt the best, plus I ache all over today, so bending down rummaging for bargains didnt seem the wisest thing to do!

    Today I will-

    * List more on ebay
    * Read newspapers online
    * Have a NSD
    * Eat OH lovely roast he's going to cook :) then meal plan for rest of the week
    * Housework

    Might at some point get out of my dressing gown!
    Have a lovely Sunday everyone xx
    Living as simply as we can
