  • Good morning and happy Thursday 🌸🌺🍫⭐️
    It was so warm yesterday and last night! We even had some blue sky yesterday and I dried washing outside, then last night it was weirdly foggy. I wonder if it will still be nice at the weekend? Most of the trees here think it’s still summer and then a few are in full autumn mode.
    Not much planned apart from work! But I’ll report in if anything exciting happens 🤣
    I hope you all have wonderful Thursdays ☕️📚🍫

    Morning, glad the vet bill wasn't too horrendous.

    bit cooler down here today, I love the warmth.

    hope work not too bad today, nearly at the weekend ........

    I was thinking around the £200 mark @WinterWarrior but I wasn't sure if the vet had to get a ferry or fly out to you  :D We tried a crate for a few days with one of our dogs but I gave it up as a bad job. He slept much better on a blanket on the landing outside our door and was happy to jump into bed for a cuddle in the morning. After years of sleepless nights with the DC's I wasn't going through that again with a dog!  
  • Good morning and happy Friday…at last! 📚🍫☕️☕️☕️
    I see lots of people had lovely thunder, but we just had grim rain and muggy warm weather yesterday.
    Mr T is now completely out of cat litter so this weekend we will have to traipse a 60 mile round trip to collect some from a pet place. I’m presuming it’s their refit and not supply issues, but very annoying! 
    Today is just a day at my desk, so hopefully no spends. I felt compelled some time ago to join a few action groups for different things, for ‘visibility’ and have 2 of those meetings squeezed in today. There are some very enthusiastic people trying to run away with ideas that either won’t inspire the majority, or won’t solve any problems at all…sigh. I also feel like I’m the only person who doesn’t think a face to face event that takes 3 days out of a busy week with travelling is a joyous and fun affair. I’m not sure when it changed so that wanting to do a good job and go home became a bad thing 🙄
    Well that’s my moan for today 🤣🤣
    I hope you all have fabulous fun Fridays filled with good coffee, food and magic 🪄🍄☕️🍫📚

    Happy Friday 🥳

    I’m in a few of those types of groups at work. You feel like you have to be seen to be doing something else in addition to your day job. 

    How annoying about the cat litter.

    Have a good day ☕️🍫

    We had a proper thunderstorm down here Wednesday night but it was still stifling hot 😬 I'm glad it's not so hot now.

    We also tried crating our doggo when he was a pup. Think it lasted about 3 nights then he was in our bed. Funnily enough I never let the kids sleep in the bed, I'd always chuck them back in theirs after about half an hour.

    I stay away from any of those kind of groups at work. Head down and crack on with my job 🤣

  • Good morning and happy Saturday ⭐️🌸📚🍫☕️
    I spent money yesterday, but it was MrWW who gave me £50, so just £5 from me. I bought a jumper and (drum roll @Sun_Addict) some magic trousers 😬 They should arrive early next week. The jumper is black and grey, if it looks good on I may be tempted to get one in red too.
    I’m not sure if I’ll spend today. We need to do the cat litter run and will go out for lunch. MrWW wants to look for some tree loppers to go with his garden tool collection 🤔 Dog will have to stay at home with the cats…poor dog. 
    I hope you all have wonderful fun filled Saturdays 📚🍫🎈☕️
