    The mental health post was interesting reading and sitting thinking about it, I know a few people, family and friends, that are on the 'scale' to some degree or other.

    Your mini egg addiction gets a big thumbs up from me. Enjoy them. xx

    We have mental health first aiders at work who talk to people who are struggling. I think it's a great idea.

  • My sister likes Hotter shoes for the summer as they are very comfortable and have holes in that keep your feet cooler. She doesn't like to wear sandals. I think she gets them when they're on sale as they can be pricey.

    I'm glad you're enjoying the sunshine Beanie :).

    I've got some sandals that cover most of my foot but you can still see my toe nails, they were from Clarks in the sale. I have to have sandals that cover my bunion sadly until I pluck up courage to have it done :(
