My mum used to make corned beef and potato pie when I was little so that brings back memories. If the dog gets used to sleeping in the small bedroom he could have his own room 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)1

He never used to sleep in our bedroom at the old house. His bed was in the hallway.0 -
My books have arrived today. We preordered these as one of my Christmas presents.

Only trouble now is picking where we want to go. There are so many places that look so nice. 😍1 -
