    Good morning and happy Tuesday 🍫📚☕️
    Did you know that chocolate iced gems are not chocolate flavoured icing, but more of a chocolate consistency? I’m not sure how I feel about that! This was yesterday by the way…not first breakfast 🤣
    The Mr T Christmas delivery slot is booked, with a minimal half hour wait to get in (by MrWW). As this is our only delivery option it’s a bit fraught until a slot is grabbed and then all is well with the world. MrWW takes Christmas dinner very seriously…..probably because he does the eating, but not the cooking.
    my spellcheck decided to change ‘only’ to Pontypridd….that would have been so confusing if I hadn’t spotted it! 
    Does anyone do the caboodle book quiz? I do it every time I see it. This one had some tricky ones as usual, some desperate googling and book searches were carried out to finish it. I’m sure the chance of winning the prize is one in a million, but it’s fun.
    I’m hoping for an NSD today. I need to limp to the end of the month to reset my savings 😖
    I hope you have a tremendous Tuesday filled with wonderful things ☕️🍫📚🍰

    Happy Tuesday. Did you wake up thinking about the iced gems 😆 Glad you bagged a delivery slot. I booked my Mr M Christmas delivery slot weeks ago.

  • @Four_Seasons I want a crunchie now!
    @nannygladys you must treat yourself to a pack!
    MrWW has been chasing a bluebottle around the house. It’s much too cold for bluebottles and it was huge and noisy. Like a bluebottle on steroids with a megaphone! It was touch and go who was going to win, but MrWW was armed with a slipper and righteous rage so he won in the end, after an epic battle of cursing, hopping and buzzing.
