  • Good morning and happy Tuesday ☕️🍫📚🌸
    My magic trousers are delayed in the post, but the jumper I was expecting on Wednesday arrived yesterday…you win some, you lose some! The jumper is a Roman originals, which I’ve never tried before. I was impressed as it came on a hanger 😁 it’s grey and black, so I looked like an elephant in a jumper. I’m tempted to get it in red too, so I can look like a bus in a jumper. I much prefer winter clothes, they hide muffin tops so much better 🤣
    I am hoping for another NSD. I may call it early on the challenge so I have to follow through. 
    I hope you all have tremendous Tuesdays, full of good things 🧁🍫📚☕️

    Morning, I’m sure you don’t look like an elephant! We have a garden centre with Roman concession, I bought a few things there.

    my tremendous Tuesday will sadly not include chocolate, really need to shift some weight, to protect my other hip from going rogue.

    Have a lovely day, how is your dog?

  • @carolbee …well I don’t have a trunk, but the size is similar 😬
    maybe just a small piece of chocolate? 
    Dog seems fine thank you…fast asleep under my desk on my foot right now, that’s her early warning system so she knows when I move towards the kitchen!

  • In MSE news We have recently had a gizmo installed for showing how much electricity you are spending. MrWW was a great one for lights on everywhere and I was accustomed to switching them off…now all of a sudden nothing is on and it’s like a strange game of blind mans bluff navigating around the house after sunset 😂 I’m wondering if he will be investing in battery LED head torches for winter 😬. Luckily I don’t think he’ll go so far as to stop the essentials like the oven, tv’s and hot water tap…phew 😁
    My magic trousers arrived, but I couldn’t magic up the energy to try them on (the magic in mine must be broken!), so I will do that tomorrow.
    I hope you all have a good evening ☕️

  • I lose sleep over thinking things, I know you can't change them but... the other night I woke up thinking about how badly I treated this boy when I finished with him at school! I'm in my 60's!!!!!???? I also over think what I say to people and go over recent conversations to make sure they couldn't be offended by anything I said!!   
    Anyway life goes on and you can't live in the past but it still bothers me at times.

    I like magic pants, well I bought a pair of magic 'shorts' they finish under the knee and they fit really well, so may look into trousers as they are smart.Anyway going to watch a bit of tv so take care and keep happy, you make me laugh as well

    That made me laugh nanny…I have also been known to shed a tear thinking about some girls who called me a fat pig in the first school play ground….probably 1976…it cut to the bone! 😬

    Good morning and happy Wednesday 📚🍫☕️☕️☕️ Almost halfway through the week!
    I was perusing the Hotel C advent calendars last night…well it is September! I will probably order for me and the family next month so they don’t run out. I couldn’t possibly have a year without an advent calendar 😁
    Nothing exciting to report this morning,  but I’m sure I’ll be brighter after a coffee ☕️☕️☕️
    Have a lovely Wednesday everyone, may your work be light and your happy moments be many …waves wand 🪄
