    Don't know why the emojis aren't always sitting right ... a lot of the revamp glitches have been fixed but not all. Though I'm happy they did semi-sort out the emojis. I wonder how the staff at MSE Towers are doing now, and if they're all okay? ... I wonder when life will return to something like normal. :(

    Hi
    We drove out to a big M and S in Kew on Saturday. The queue was quite literally a mile long (everyone was spaced 2 meters apart) so we drove on......
    But our local Sainsbury's is starting to have more stock and is definitely less busy.
    We managed to get some Hotel Chocolat Easter chocolate...we had to buy a big hamper for 4 of us 'cos it was pretty much sold out everywhere (Hotel Chocolat, John Lewis and Amazon). We were a bit slow on that one.
    I wasn't AF Friday and Saturday in the end but did jump on the wagon when it came passed last night.See the source image

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

     Wish will power was acquirable by tablet 😉. 
    We'll do our best by tablet or laptop or desktop or phone! :wink:
    This made me laugh aloud; where's the rolling on the floor emoji when you need it?

    Cathybird I think chocolate is probably better for you but I'm already overweight - talk about horns of a dilemma 😂. 

    9/10 today, thank you Shaggy. It's a very very rare AF weekend for me! Hope everyone else is doing well in these challenging times. 
    Sadly not. That bottle was winking at me from about 3pm. No will power. I drank it last night. 
    But it’s now gone and I will not ask friends to buy me any in the week. 
    Is Honey Bear ok, I’ve noticed her absence! 

    Honey Bear posted maybe about six weeks ago saying she wasn't going to be around so much and that was before the chaotic site revamp and then coronavirus. I hope she's okay. I did think she was maybe going to post sometimes but perhaps not. I hope she'll be back. :(
    Thanks for letting me know.
    Live for the moment and plan for the future
