Confession time... went to the supermarket today and seem to have bought both LauraJo - I do find it much easier not to crave crisps when no wine is in my hand:o
Did some volunteering stuff this morning and gardening this afternoon, lovely sun day here but surprisingly chilly when in the shade! Still got lots of washing dry outside so all good.

Another sunny/windy day here so yet more washing out! DS is out with friends so I've been catching up on housework and doing a bit more planting (as well as flicking back and forwards to zatchels site:o), and I seem to have bought a very beautiful satchel:DMortgage OP 2026 £350/2000Mortgage OP 2025 £7700/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

It's a pretty red one Miss MM, will hopefully last for years, I did like the pastel green one but thought the red was more practical, less likely to look grubby after kicking around lecture theatres:D.

I (eventually... After much browsing and even more dithering) decided on the raspberry elephant leather one. Loved the pastel ones but thought itd get grubby too soon!"Never underestimate the power of small amounts"

Good choice Miss MM!
Well today I've been for a run, 5 miles and went well - due to various things most of my runs have been wee 3 milers recently and have a 10K coming up soon so was starting to get a wee bit worried my legs would have forgotten how to go that far but all good.
Thinking of spending my nec$ar points on some saucepans, yes it's still all glamour over here:DMortgage OP 2026 £350/2000Mortgage OP 2025 £7700/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Well done on the run:T You have earned the crisps so munch away guilt free.
I love the Lidl vegetable crisps but really dark chocolate is my main fix. I don't do the wine these days though as I don't get enough sleep so justify my chocolate consumption that way...Jan 2013-£140,231.65

But they don't open for another hour
