Who would steal an advent calendar. It would be like stealing from your children!! A lot of guilt in that office one way or another I would say. All scared they would be accused. What a win!

@nannygladys I have artificial grass and decking in the back garden and pots of plants 🤣 the front is real but mainly weeds. My 80 year old next door neighbour with her manicured lawn hates it! She actually asked me to get mine cut a week or so back. I'm just too lazy.
I'm shocked someone would eat your advent chocs but a good result in the end!3 -
@nannygladys What a result getting the extra advents, it’s a good job you kicked up a fuss!@Naomim I wouldn’t cut it until next spring now, I hate being told what to do 🤣Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

Good morning and happy Friday…we made it! ☕️📚🍫🧁
yesterday I bought a nail file and a bag..random I know, totally unnecessary and blew the budget! The NSD’s are rather elusive, I must try and nab one today 😖 I really need to get a grip, there are still 2 weeks to go and my savings plan is in tatters! If I am very good for the rest of the month I will have saved £180 this month which is abysmal when you think that the loans I was paying were three times that. I did pay £220 for an insurance in one go from this wage, but even so, it’s not great. Next month I’ve no big outgoings, but I do need to get some heating oil at some point, ready for when the radiators will need to start coming on.I’ve no spending planned for this weekend anyway 😬
I hope you all have fabulous Fridays filled with sunshine, chocolates and happy thoughts ☀️🍫☕️🍰🧁Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

Morning, last work day this week for you!
I've been making some candles for birthday and Christmas presents, house smells lovely.
off out tonight to see a sea shanty group, not at all our sort of music usually, but going with a lovely set of friends so will be fun.
love the wildlife tails ( did you see what I did there)?
keep chasing those NSDs, don’t let them get away from you
enjoy choc, coffee books and anything else you love 😀Carolbee3 -
Thanks @Sun_Addict…I’ll try not to!
@carolbee I did see what you did there 🤣 the sea shanty group should be fun. What flavour candles are you making?Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

Bluebell, frankincense and myrrh, to go with my gold home made coasters, and “under the mistletoe”. made the coasters by gluing some sample gold wallpaper onto a piece of cork and covering with PVA glue.
thought it would make a change from taking flowers, plant etc along as a gift when we go out for dinner to friends etc
all very OS as been given jars etc 😉Carolbee3 -
