    Thanks ladies 😀! The egg is almost gone - whoops! I broke it up by bashing it with a conveniently-placed hammer (putting things away properly is SO last year 😂) and have been scurrying back and forth to bed with bits of it while I finished a book 😀

    Plans for today: None. I might clean the kitchen.

    Have been fighting with a ridiculous urge to buy a shoe rack from Ikea for the last 10 days or so. Ridiculous because a) It will be closed; b) Even if it's not closed, it's near my office (which is not near to my home), so if I am going there then I need to go when I am at work; c) I have nowhere to put it; and d) I don't have enough shoes to warrant it! So yes, ridiculous in general, but I can't stop thinking about it 😡 Most of my shoes are in a chest of drawers, leaving 4 "everyday" pairs in circulation (2 pairs of which are at BF's house, so I definitely don't need a shoe rack!!!) Think I may go through the other non-shoe drawers and see if I can make room for the other rogue pairs to fit in there so I can put the idea out of my mind once and for all!
