    Brilliant news about the delivery and the win.  Sound bathing sounds great.

    Well done on being organised for Christmas, I'm getting there!  My parcel arrived yesterday, I haven't opened it yet.  The light up tins are allocated for people.  I'm worried I'll have to buy more for me :D:D 
    I love the tins. 
    Will see where I am with them once my parcel arrives tomorrow. 
    I need to find my list. 

    I have cut out more minders to children I hardly ever see & who get so much stuff it’s actually obscene. 

    It’s 2 degrees here today so it’s cold 🥶 oh so cold. 
    I managed without the heating yesterday but certainly won’t today. 

    Miss S is off to vet later & I forgot to budget for it. 
    What a twit. 
    I've just opened the parcel,  it's lovely!  I'm seriously considering getting one for me now too.

    That's cold :(  Hope you stayed warm.  Hope the vets bill isn't too bad.

    It's such a lot isn't it.  But they are worth it.

    Good news about the credit!

    Glad M&S are replacing the village, annoying that it was damaged though.

    It was poorly packed & badly damaged.
    The box was also very bashed in trasport.
    The tins were bashed to bits  :(
