Going to rain from Tuesday onwards so ive just cut the grass and put two loads of washing out to dry.
Listed a bunch of clothes that I'll never fit into again- (not a weight loss thing- discovered a vacuum bag of clothes on top of the wardrobe whilst cleaning- they're pre-pregnancy and I went up from a just C cup to a DD whilst pregnant and despite slimminy back down since 2019 health kick started those measurements have stayed the same
Anyhow- they're all a size 12 and I cant get them down over my chest.
Listed them on fb and already had some enquiries.
Had two good friends from London drop in yesterday along with my very best friend (the shielding one) who I haven't seen in person since early 2020. It was lovely.Bottom line;

Went to town this morning. Daughter spent her pocket money on some new toys and some water balloons that she's currently playing with in the garden with the catling (the younger one loves water so has enjoyed having the padding pool out for most of the last week. Keep finding her stood in it up to the mid chest and the older cat staring in horror from a distance.

Our youngest cat who died 2 years ago was the first swimmer in our hot tub. My son was disgusted because he'd asked for ages and saved hard to have the tub then the cat beat him to it. The other cat fell in the bath a few times in her younger days but isn't really a fan.2

It's my birthday! Had a lovely day so far. Some really nice thoughtful presents, three new outfits from Joe Browns and a bunch of alcohol
Had lunch in my absolute favourite restaurant- small italian run by a family who came over from Rome 4 year ago- there's about 8 things on the menu and they're all perfect plus the most amazing pistachio and lemon stuffed cannoli for pudding.
Ive got friends coming round for boardgames and an Indian takeaway in an hour so really looking forward to that.
