    I can’t take credit for the pink heart on the crib Beanie - some of the furniture was mainly ok and I’ve just added bits to it.....some had been coloured on with felt pen by the previous owner - particularly the bed 😂😂. 
    We have heavy snow here this morning- it wasn’t showing on the forecast yesterday when I looked 😲 it’s beginning to stick on very wet ground. Hope my dd gets to the Peak District where they’re staying on Monday......the children know they’re coming so could be interesting ❄️❄️
    We went out for a ride around yesterday - it was very much needed. We drove, went for a walk drove some more  - did another little walk and drove again. We barely saw another soul.....we constantly pass people here. We ended up getting fish and chips and watching the sun go down. I do love a sunset.....made me very thoughtful and thankful for my lot  😊
    I lost 1 lb and I did my sw zoom meeting this morning. Don’t think I’ve ever lost over Easter before so I’m pleased - just need to keep repeating now 🤞😀

    Boo to heavy snow👎 Well done on the 1lb loss 👏

    I love a good sunset 🌅 That’s why I love going to Ibiza, the sunsets there are amazing, always feel emotional when the sun melts into the sea, they play just the right sort of music as it sets and everyone claps and cheers afterwards.

    I should be doing all sorts of tidying and sorting today but can’t settle so am going to see ds for tea. I’ll get motivated and sort everything tomorrow 👍
    I got rid of a fair bit of stuff yesterday on the free FB recycle page yesterday. Everything was collected - must better than taking things to the tip 👍
