Re dandelions in salads - forgive a complete novice but which bits do you eat?
How are the nails looking?

Hi folks
Looking forward to the long weekend:
- need to do some more thinking on my change of direction and fine tune a few bits
- have decided to wander down to the Food Festival ( walking of course, MSE and exercise) and get some street food this afternoon and as a treat as DD1 has a birthday we will book somewhere tomorrow for a late lunch and then a movie ( using a MOV and like Tilly, taking our snacks in a capricious handbag
) as a celebration for her birthday. She wants low key but is desperate to see Captain America. So that's what we shall see.
We were invited to see friends last night which was lush. Very unexpected and a lovely chat.
OH did loads of filing yesterday which was a good move. Crumbs how it stacks up
So need to do:
- laundry and pegging out
- cake for DD1:)
- meal planning for next 2 weeks
- start listing my clothes and categorising them. The idea being I can find stuff easily and weed stuff out which I don't use/don't need/ can sell and make the mornings easier
- visit allotment and see how we are
- prep parcels for Ebay despatch on Tues
- find more stuff to listMFiT-T4 Member No. 96 - 2022 is my MF goal
