Vulpix well done on the pants I have been using the ones from the back of the drawer there is a reason they are there and any that are uncomfortable to wear are being binned rather than shoved to the back again.

I've had a bit of a dip, what's the point moment the last couple of days but put on my big girl pants again. So out today several plastic containers from strawberries, blueberries and plums and also the ones from mushrooms and vine toms. The recycling box is now full and ready to be collected tomorrow. Lots of fridge leftovers made into an omelette for tea and a banana and the last of the yoghurt for pud, pot also now recycled. Small steps and all that.Hope everyone is well, hugs to you and yours if not.nanFailure is simply the opportunity to begin again, but this time more intelligently15
