Friday, payday and a day off - happy days🥂🥳💃
Still got quite a few things to buy to finish off the bedroom but just bits and bobs, all the major stuff has been bought. I’m literally having everything new in it. Still haven’t made my mind up what colour I want the duvet cover, cushions and curtains, anything but white though or it’ll look like an operating theatre 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6 -
The bedroom plans sound brilliant 👍 Enjoy your day off and getting the bits you need to complete the room.I wasn’t too keen on Lemon Puffs which when I look back surprises me as I usually go for lemon rather than chocolate.January spends - £587.584

Bedroom will be lovely - I hope you share a photo or two. I was another pampered princess. My mum cooked but didn't let me help because of the potential for mess. When I was at secondary school she would bring me tea and toast in bed and I'd reject the toast if the butter hadn't completely melted .... what a vile diva I must have been 🤷♀️5

I heard some very sad news tonight. My cousin’s daughter passed away this morning, not sure how old, I’ve lost track, but only in her 30s. I know she’d been unwell but thought she was getting better. There are no words.
I’ll definitely share photos of the bedroom when it’s done.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7 -
