  • Good morning and happy Saturday 🍫📚☕️
    Today might be a day for building cat trees! What are you all up to? I shall enjoy a day not pinned to my desk. 
    I do need to clean out my clothes drawers and wardrobe at some point as they are rammed with things that don’t fit, or I just don’t wear. It will be a massive job though, so I probably need to dedicate some days off to it. 
    Just 6 days to pay day…I might survive 😬
    I hope you all have a stupendous Saturday, filled with lovely things 🧁🍰🌸

    Happy Saturday, I hope there is some journal planning time in there too?

    You must have a LOT of clothes to have to spend days, perhaps Narnia is at the back of the wardrobe ....

    have a lovely weekend

  • Morning WW
    I've been away for a week so i'm looking forward to a day of pottering :) i need to do a food shop and finish unpacking.  I took summer clothes but it might be a good time to put them away and get out my winter clothes.... 
    I think i will treat myself to some nice food as i still feel in holiday mode and my DD2, who was here cat sitting, has left me a half tub of cream - i can't bear food waste so think i need to make crumble just so i can use it up ;) 
    Love Deni

  • I don’t have summer and winter wardrobes, I just have a wardrobe….and I’m bad at parting with things. I need to start a one in, one out policy! 
    I’m not sure about Narnia, but there are certainly a bunch of those elves that sew your clothes smaller in the back somewhere. 
    Mmmm crumble deni 😋

    Those pesky elves travel all over, they’ve been here too at my winter clothes. I need a floaty dress type winter wardrobe. 

    Did all your other parcels arrive?

  • I have 2 wardrobes but they are not very big and i like to hang up as much as possible :) I think i have those elves too, i can't think of any other explanation why clothes go in the wardrobe one size and when you bring them out to put them on they have suddenly got smaller ??!!
    I will send you a virtual slice of crumble :)
