Extra hour in bed?:o

FairyPrincess i know what you mean I had to buy some new Sketchers a few weeks ago as my old ones were literally falling apart.I got the ones with 'memory' innersoles and they are just so comfortable you feel like you are wearing slippers.

Not cheap but I shopped around and bearing in mind the last pair I had for 6 years they will work out at just under £8.00 per year, so hopefully well worth the outlay :)
Did a good bit of knitting on my DDs 'blanky ' today and never stepped foot outdoors at all so purse is firmly shut until Monday at least

Morning all,

Vulpix--I suspect it is the novelty. She does do the thing where she sits on whatever she thinks is important to you when she wants attention, but I've also found her napping on it when no one else was in the room. Mind she does like a freshly washed blanket, so maybe this is a hint that I'm not washing her blankets as often as she would like!

JackieO--I tried on some of those trainers yesterday! They were very cushioned. I went for a different pair in the end as I use them for sport and thought I needed something a bit different but I did tell my OH they would be brilliant for walking around. In the end I found a pair for just over £30, although they are a truly shocking pink.

OH and I treated ourselves to a coffee in an Italian cafe while we were in town and then came home and curled up next to the gas fire. It was the first really chilly day, so I lit candles and put the jazz on radio 3 on and OH watched the rugby with muted volume while I worked on the rug and just enjoyed sitting still for a bit! Try OS pleasure.

I need to finish off the menu plans for this week and then we're off out to Ald! and I'll change bedlinens, vac upstairs and prepare for teaching tomorrow.

AND! I just caught all of those references to the extra hour in bed! I really did have an extra hour then because I managed to sleep later than usual and didn't realize the time had changed! ---Oh no, I'm not that bad, must have misunderstood--they don't go back until 25 October. Something to look forward to!

Yesterday I repaired the teddies & ordered the zips for the onsies, today I'm mending a bra, the underwire has worked it's way through the fabric.
I've made soup with the leftover veg so that's lunches sorted for next week.

All the best for tomorrow Vulpix - will be thinking of you.

Just walking home from work and its very chilly - will definitely need to look out my box with winter scarves, hats and gloves in.

Going to grab a quick tea when I go in, probably an omelette and then head round to spend the evening with a friend.

Noticed my work top has a small hole along the seam so will add that to the mending pile when I get home. Got a few mending jobs to tackle so will try and get that done when I've got a few days off at the end of the week.

Still not got round to looking through the library books I got out during the week so will do that on my days off too.

Hope everyone has had a good weekend

And from me, vulpix. All the best.

Have mended 3 pairs of gardening gloves (I wear out the tip of one finger on my right hand, the rest of that glove, and its mate, are fine).

Have minimised quite a bit of the fresh food in the fridge and will be making a push on the rest of the veggies tomorrow, aiming to get down to almost zilch before shopping again, and will be heading into the freezer for the makings of some of the next few meals, too.
