    Good morning and happy Monday ☕️🍫📚
    I never tried podcasts either..I really need to up my game! 
    Moving I did say I’m more of a warning than an example 🤣 Sorry to be such a bad influence 😬
    I received 4 large white toblerones for Christmas and cracked open the first one yesterday 😋 We also had a dinner with the last of the leftover back up turkey and trimmings. No more turkey for a while now.
    I’m back at work on Wednesday and trying not to think about it 😖
    I really must get up and make some tiger bread toast for breakfast 😋
    Then I’ll have a look at borrowbox and the free audio what’s its 😬
    I hope you all have fabulous days filled with all good things 🍫☕️📚🪄

    My Fitbit thought I wasn’t wearing it at one point 🙄 I need to charge it up and make it proud….or at least less ashamed 😬

  • I've decided to stop wearing my smart watch for a bit as it just makes me stress I'm not doing enough or when messages ping in. I need to allow my brain to switch off. 
    I may of course decide I can't live without it but if it's not working it needs changing. What's that saying 🤔

    It something like that 😂

    I have an audible subscription and get one credit a month.  There's loads of free stuff on there which you can stream (podcasts and books) and as a member you can get most books at £7.99 after that if you want to buy more.

    I also use Borrowbox from the library and there are a good selection of audio books and also e-books on there.  My library also do magazines on Libby.  All free so well worth it!  I 'shop' from there more than anywhere else at the moment!

    Prime have a series of Reacher starting in February - it looks much better than Tom Cruise's attempt! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9288030/

    Great thanks for the heads up. We like the reacher series (even with shortie) and Primes Jack Ryan was good too.

    Thanks for the heads up.  Have added to my watchlist!  Agree with you looks better than Tom Cruise as Reacher!  I just couldn't see him as Reacher!

  • We are looking forward to the new Reacher too. I’ve seen some teasers on Facebook ads and he looks like he’s a much better fit!

    I charged up my Fitbit this afternoon and then took dog and MrWW for a short walk in the dark so I could add 1000 steps. Poor dog enjoyed it, but was limping at the end. We just got inside  and it started hailing and was white over. We watched episode 4 of around the world in 80 days, I’m enjoying it so far. 
    I haven’t managed an NSD as ordered a box of fat balls for the birds. I must make sure I get to NSD2 tomorrow! True to form I’ve not been great so far and need to be VERY good for the rest of January. I have no reason to spend as I have a hotel chocolat sleekster and 3 and a half large white toblerones, some Christmas cake, Christmas biscuits in the house and my favourite fentimans shandy and ginger beer arriving on Friday 😋 I have lots of books lined up on my kindle….no reason to spend at all.

    I'm up to page 114 now WW. I'm very much enjoying the tales of WW dog and her car rides. Ours is an old girl now who loves a ride in the car. She's very small so also has a push chair and loves being pushed round like lady muck wrapped in a blankie looking down at all the poor mutts being forced to walk. She likes the odd walk but after just one trip round the duck pond at the local park on sat she refused another sun and asked for her chariot. She also has a bike carrier but as it has to go on my bike she hasn't had many goes in it but loved it when we went out last year. My cycling is bad enough without the extra weight.
    We also are enjoying round the world in 80 days but haven't watched the latest yet so 🤫
