It's not you @beanielou I am a sucker for shiny stickers colourful stationery things. I spend alot of my pocket money on such like. Also cookbooks. Got school dinners first mentioned on mse and both the takeaway secret books on Kindle app along with many more. I try and pretend I'm saintly but I'm more like a devil.Dedicated Debt Free Wanabee 🤓

Gosh it moves fast in here - love slippers especially as I am clumsy and stub my toes regularly otherwise. Prefer nice sheepskin ones if somebody else is paying.
I like the idea of stickers but the reality is I just CBA to use them. I too had an organised mum diary with stickers and tear out lists and used it for about a month.

I like your style @redofromstart, posh slippers are all the warmer when purchased by someone else.
I make a point of using stickers on every entry on my journal, and coloured pens, etc. I was in the habit of getting nice things and ‘saving them’ which is bonkers! Now I try to enjoy everything I have and will replace them if I use them all up.Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

Wash your mouth out with soapy water miss WW no-one is getting my mini eggs.
As for slippers I have my own. I get through lots of pairs as I may or may not have very wiffy feet and have to wash them frequently.Dedicated Debt Free Wanabee 🤓

@carolbee Thank you so much for mentioning the Devorgilla book. It's wonderful. Galloway is one of my favourite areas of Scotland. The Book Town itself is great - for books, dog friendly cafes and interesting people.carolbee said

Good morning and happy Friday, what a long week! 😬📚🍫☕️Back to 5 days next week will be a killer.
No spends planned today, unless I order the birthday presents and get them out of the way. I need to finish book number one of 2022 today so I don’t fall behind. I managed 78 books last year and really want to get to 80 this year to beat it.@carolbee I live here now and haven’t been to many places apart from right at the top 😬 I haven’t been to many places at your end either. Our holiday go to’s were normally in the middle like Whitby, Scarborough, etc.I hope you all have fabulous Fridays filled with all good things 🍫☕️📚Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien
