  • Welcome to the chocolate part @Naomim
    Now @redofromstart not liking mini eggs? That's just bad as for you @Sun_Addict not liking chocolate? How do you do this magic feat sounds like sorcery to me.
    I had fruit toast with butter for breakie. Ham and cheese bagel with mustard mayo cheese and pickles for lunch and am now snacking on Munster munch whilst waiting for dinner. I may or may not have had a snickers at lunch *ahem*

    31st here too, it's so wrong when it's on a Monday, it's just cruel trying to get through that extra weekend!

  • Good morning and happy Sunday ☕️📚🍫
    You are so right @jwil, making us limp through the last weekend is cruel ☹️
    My savings goals have taken a battering with having to pay for the heating oil this month, £316 I wasn’t planning to spend until February, but they have still increased, so that’s something. I’ll do my monthly run down later in the week. 
    Today will be taking dog for her drive to make up for going to the shop and petrol station without her yesterday and then a bit more quilting. I’d forgotten how lovely it is to work on a small one, rather than wrestling with a monster for months.
    Yesterday when I was out the sea was beautiful. It was that deep iron grey, but the sun was shining on the boats and making the reds and blues glow so brightly like they were from a childrens picture book. It was really lovely.
    I hope you all have relaxing Sundays doing just what you like 📚📚☕️☕️🍫🍫🌈
