    Glad I'm not the only one enjoying the Christmas Eve Eve @AntoMac! I wrapped all the presents today and had a nice time chilling. We're doing a Christmas Eve celebration at my East London Sister's house tomorrow afternoon and I'm looking forward to that too 🤗. Hope you have fun with your cousin tomorrow.

    Managed to clean out my purse and I potted £7.75 to the sealed pot challenge.
