    Ooh, lovely beanie! Is it a chocolate one?

    I have a deadline on 3rd Dec so I refuse to do anything that will make that seem closer, so no advent calendar for me yet! 🙈

    Pleased the appointment at job centre is over and done with and you know what’s going on money wise. What a relief to get it over with for you.
    i totally agree that you should get out and about at every opportunity. It’s what I do. There’s plenty of time to stay in the house when there is no alternative. Even then a nice time can be had - I used to invite friends around and get a take away in 😁👍
    Hope the soup wasn’t too hot. Have you got one of the frames with a tray so you can carry things easier?

    I am so tired at the moment. I know I say this a lot but it’s true.

    I’m glad you treated yourself. I’m old enough to remember the advent calendars where you opened the window and got a picture of a star or a donkey etc, how things have changed 🤣
    Yes! I do too. How boring were they!
