  • Just messaged the photographer who very kindly let me know that DD1 is on the Plops rather than the other way around.

    Neurotic mother alert!

  • Thanks both. Nice to see you here Kim.

    Another drawer decluttered. Sight test and contact lens check done.

  • I have seen lots of lovely pics od DD and the Plops. Plops actually has her eyes open!

    Sounds like DD is having a great time - I would have loved that when I was her age :)

    How long are you staying in Barcelona? It looks like an amazing city and I always hear good things about it. You definitely deserve a holiday after so long :T

  • For both of them!
  • Good morning!
    Haircuts for the whole family today (much needed).
    I think a quiet afternoon - more decluttering.
    I have been replacing clothes that are essentially rags and trying to reduce the number of sets of "old clothes" which are painty or ragged that we have.

    DH has been going to work looking like...he needs to pack that in!

    Nothing expensive purchased though.
