    @Naomim #110 😮 that’s some queue! Just 17 and Smash Hits reminds me of Twilight Teezer lipstick, it was like a uniform around that time 🤣
    Happy Tuesday .... only 4 days to the weekend and less than 2 weeks to payday (but who’s counting...oh, that’s me 😖)
    my pots are a bit down with the household purchasing, but I’m hoping to hang on to what’s left. I haven’t touched the £200 EF either. As I bought the birthday present this month at £280 and won’t need to do that next month it still feels like I’m winning. I just need to hold fast for nearly 2 weeks...that’s just 1 weekend, that’s not so bad! Pep talk Tuesday 🤣
    Enjoy your days 🧁

    Today will be NSD13. It will, it will (stamps foot to make a point)!
    work was dreadful yesterday and I’m expecting more of the same for the rest of the week! I have training thurs and fri and need to do 2 and a half hrs of pre work, but haven’t been able to access it. I’ve been reporting, but am running out of time to squash it in! 
    The cat box and TP should have been delivered today, but tracking now says tomorrow. The kitchen roll is suspiciously sitting in a depot hundreds of miles away...this is a regular glitch! It gets here eventually, usually after I complain when it says out for delivery in the wrong county. That’s all the exciting news I have for you today 🤣
    Have a wonderful Wednesday....the weekend is in sight 🍫📚

    Yes they are, I try to not buy books that are on my wish list that were the original price but then get reduced, I've been eying up the book I bought today for a while at full price so snapped it up at 99p 😀
