    Morning WW pinch & punch and all that...

    Another white & dark chocolate hater here. White too sweet and dark too bitter 😖

    We dont really have bnm here in London/Surrey. There is a tiny, tiny one which is probably better for my bank balance 😂 if I want a big one, I have to drive down to Portsmouth. I think there's one in Wembley but it's easier to drive straight down the A3 than trying to trek across London 🤣. My best friend also lives in Portsmouth so I usually stop by for a cuppa and catch up too.
    Depending on which one you go to in Portsmouth Naomim it might be the one I can walk to!!! It opened just before I moved house and saved me a fortune on curtain poles, lamp shades, bits for my garden but now costs me a fortune in chocolate and crisps 🤣🤣🤣 xx

    Good morning and happy Wednesday 📚☕️⭐️
    How is everyone today? I’ve had the pay day high, so it’s all down hill from here🤣 I had my first nsd of the month yesterday, so that’s something! 
    Yesterday we had pancakes as miraculously I had both flour and eggs in when I remembered! Dog enjoyed hers after her tea and then wanted to share mine..the cheek! 
    Nothing planned today apart from work and also hoping to finish my book 📖 
    I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday filled with all good things 🍫☕️📚🌸

    8yo and I had a big discussion about giving up something up for lent and it turns out we're not prepared to live without meat, teddies, sweet treats (only on Saturdays for her, I eat mine when she's in bed), TV or basically anything. What a pair of weak willed snowflakes we are!

    Easter is more pagan than anything these days, but the rebirth message works for both…and chocolate is important too! I definitely believe in a bit of everything 😁
    @elbree I can give up most nice things for half a day, but not much longer 😬
