  • @beanielou horrible to need them, but you will be winning with such snazzy purple ones. I love the bubbles too, they look really special and perfect for whomping someone with if they are cheeky! 
    The planner goes by months, so I’ll need to wait for October so I don’t waste a few weeks. I have filled in a few bits. It has 3 ribbon place holders for the different sections and lots of scope to make it your own, like a bullet journal. They only last 6 months, so if I get my money’s worth I may need to try another colour for the next 6 around April next year.

    Very posh planner!

    Beanie, I know it's rubbish that you need the sticks, but they are fabulous and you have style!

  • Good morning and happy Wednesday ☕️📚🍰🧁
    Today is not a no spend day. We ordered replacement cat trees as I’m sick of all the trailing rope and fibres everywhere. They do use them a lot as they bed down in the boxes regularly, or sleep on the lookout posts. There are 3 in different rooms, so it’s quite a hit, but after some jiggling funds the majority will come from a pot, with just £30 coming out of my next months money. It will be so much tidier and they’ve needed replacing for some time, so I don’t feel it was an unnecessary spend. I ordered them last night, but had already counted a no spend day, so will count it as a spend for today! 
    I hope you all have wonderful Wednesdays filled with happiness and all good things 🍫📚☕️

    Morning purple people.

    glorious down here, so I intend to be  outside much of the day pottering about. Repotted my front pots for a more seasonal look.

    halfway through the week for our workers

  • Training today, but I survived 😬
    where is all this amazing weather? It’s chilly here today, not a good day for repotting or being on the beach…even if I could have got outside. The only purple thing would have been my hands…brrrr
