    Thanks for that site @satchmo1 I will definitely look at trying to sell the nappies there. 👍🏻

    The kids enjoyed the strawberry picking for about 15 mins then DS asked to
    go home and DD start tantruming about 5 mins later. 🤦🏻‍♀️ At least it stayed dry.

    Bought a couple of things on the prime days towards DD’s birthday (a Polly pocket that you can wear like a bag) and her Christmas (a light up unicorn with a barbie). Also got another Polly pocket for the present for DS’s next birthday party.

    Thanks Beanie, we were lucky as the rain was pretty heavy later on.

    Yes Willow 😂 I saw the unicorn and Barbie on a good deal and knew DD would love them but already have enough for her birthday so thought it would do for Christmas instead. 😂

    Have done a bit more clothes decluttering - got rid of pjs I don’t wear then went through the tights & underwear drawer and got rid of lots from there. Still need to go through the clothes in the wardrobe again as there’s a lot I don’t wear.

    I’ve realised I could do with a nice pair of shoes for going out as I don’t really have any comfy heels just lots of boots and some sandals then trainers and flat shoes.

    I’ve been on a spending spree recently though so need to stop. I’ve bought lots of new underwear as also had a new bra fitting online. The bra was £45 but well worth it as a much better fit.

    I’ve also replaced a few pairs of tights but they were pricier as from snag. At least I know they’ll fit well and last a good while.

    It was my birthday yesterday and DH made me a lovely cake topped with strawberries and our homegrown blueberries. 😋
