Mine too, that one is made with syrup rather than treacle and its a bit less dense and dark so the wee ones like it

Am still here, struggling a bit - difficult time of the year for me but have put some support in place and went for that yesterday which was good but very emotional.
I've been carrying on with surveys etc in the background and not done any emotional spending - eating though is another story
Money is a bit squeaky but I've got enough to pay my office rent and a few bits of work waiting to be paid. Hopefully my big chunk of work will be paid before the CCs are due in the middle of next month. I can't bill for that until the end of this week though.
Am working in the late afternoon so trying to summon up the enthusiasm to plant some wall flowers before I leave for that. Cold and breezy here today but I can have a warm shower once I come back in from the garden. Best get on......0 -

Planted the last of the bulbs and also some Wallflowers and Sweet William in the front border. There were a few bare patches where I'd dug up some of the self seeding plants so it looks better now and might discourage the cat from 2 doors down using it as a cat tray - doubt it though :mad:.
Work went ok, I got into the city early so had a look in a couple of charity shops and went for a coffee and a brownie
I did a couple of Prolific surveys y'day and a few on 1poll. Also cashed in a £5 @mazon voucher on Pinecone.
No work today but am looking after one one of the tiny humans later and then family are coming for tea. I've got a bag of books to donate to a local charity book sale and need to collect pills for the big old furry one as well as get some bits for tea.
Damp and cloudy here today so probably not a gardening day.0 -
Your mention of BOFB reminded I need to order cat food.

Hope you're okay by now, teapot, different times of year can be very tough - for the times themselves, like Christmas, or anniversaries. Tiny humans and BFOB are good for that.2023: the year I get to buy a car0
