    I've stopped saving clothes for best - it gives me a feel good factor wearing nice things and glamming up with jewellery too.  
    Hope you've succeeded with the cat litter quest.
    I just felt very flattered that my cat just came to sit on my lap but after padding vigorously with needle like claws he's just had a great big head shake and splattered spittle everywhere and now he's flounced off 😸

    Mine love the splatter shake! Also one likes to pad on my tummy like it’s a flabby cushion…☹️🙄
    We are fully supplied with litter now..phew! 
    It is a good idea to just wear the nice clothes…I will change my ways!

    Was at an awards ceremony the other night with the foodbank gang.
    Was very very strange seeing most of us dressed up & with make up on!
    Not our usual look at all!

    Thanks @jwil, you too ⭐️
    @beanielou it is strange isn’t it? I felt like a clown the first time I put make up on for lunch out this year, I’d forgotten how to do presentable 🤡  I hope you won a nice award.

    @beanielou @carolbee wonderful you won awards! 👏

    @WinterWarrior my mascara had dried up! Had to get another. And 11yo has lost my favourite face powder. It was from our branch of Kiko but they shut down during lockdown 😥 

    I like the idea of getting glammed up just to go to the supermarket 🤣 I live in jeans and t-shirts.

    Oh I’m so late today! Happy Sunday 🍫📚☕️
    The dog has had her drive. The sea was grey and fairly flat, but miraculously no rain! 
    I have £6 left for the week after the extra pet bits yesterday..wish me luck 🤣
    congratulations @beanielou and @carolbee for your awards 🏆 
    @Naomim my idea of glammed up is just fancy jeans and a nice top, rather than jeans and a top 😬
    I hope you are all having good days 📚☕️🍫🌸
