  • P.S. Big Luther fan here as well. Although am I imagining it, but has Hermione Norris has some very weird work done to her face?!:think:

    Agree, I was thinking botox:eek:

    I know.. or is it just her horrendous character? Makes my blood chill. Sitting watching Shaun the Sheep as an antidote before hastening little ones into bed.. so we can watch the final episode!!!!

    Not a bad day spends wise. Didn’t eat out, devoured the fridge instead. Who knew that the cheese board that keeps on giving could give for so long? :rotfl: it’s been ace.

    Have a good evening x

    A good day but no exercise, by the time I got around to thinking about it the pavements were too icy and potentially slippery. I’ll go tomorrow.

    A good day - including meal planning, a TT and sorting some stuff for DD1, also with a hefty grocery shop, but using £56 worth of discounts (weyhey) and all stuff we need, so not exactly a LSD but it’s all mindful spends. OH went out for a birthday meal with friends but he’s back already so not exactly a big spends night.

    Things I am thankful for:

    - health of my children
    - a calm weekend after a very restorative week away
    - my wood burner.

    Oh and dry January started for me today. Havent missed it at all this evening :T

    Have a good weekend all

    Thanks all. Sitting here reading the paper after a short 25 min run, but also trying not to think about work tomorrow....isn’t it always the way on a Sunday? May also try and cruise some diaries :) see how everyone is getting on

    Need to pop out for some ingredients for tea but otherwise will be a LSD.

    Laters all,

    Thanks SA...will pop over and see how you are. Currently drinking Seedlip listening to music and wishing tomorrow wasn’t imminent :/

    All is good and the fire is blazing away although OH has just blown our Splurge money on a rowing machine. Ok he got it from the Bay...but even so. Have told him he needs to work out the repayment plan....and just as I thought we were making progress !! It’s not a disaster but it’s not good....:eek:

    Hmm. Will update you later all x
