    Good morning and happy Saturday 🌈📚🍫☕️
    We appear to have ironed out the cola gangs, but then mf starts another fight about glenfiddich! I haven’t had a sip for years so I can’t really join in.
    I was wide awake up until 2am and dog woke me at 6am needing the cats moving…yawn. I wish she knew how to make her mum a coffee! 
    Today will be a dog drive, I’m a little anxious about missing all the pot holes! Then I plan to make scones and maybe a lemon drizzle. I hope to spend no money today. 
    I hope you all have a splendid Saturday, please do let me know what you are up to ☕️📚🍫🌈

  • Morning WW
    Hope you and dog have a nice drive.
    I've been awake for half an hour but my own body woke me up not any 4 legged friends.
    I have to do some work today and will meet up with my DD1, i try not to use my car unless going to work but i'll make an exception for my DD  <3

    Have a great time Deni! 
    I'm always annoyed when I wake up early on a Saturday but that's body clocks 🙄

    As I'm up early I plan on dieing my hair (grey roots!) then shopping in town with Mum (come to stay ❤️) before 8yo comes home at 2pm.
    This is from toiletries budget so no unplanned spending. Will also take a bag to CS. 

    On the cola wars I'm definitely a coke rather than pepsi 😂
    Enjoy the drive Dog

    Not work on a Saturday Deni ☹️ Enjoy your meet up later.
    I gave in colouring mine elbree, I don’t miss the faff and don’t feel too hideous with grey stripes, apart from once in a while when I see pictures of myself with dark hair and feel sad about my lost (bottled) youth 😬

    We had a lovely drive, about 80+ miles of zig zagging around deep pot holes…the roads are so dreadful right now! But the sun was shining and dog likes my singing 😬
    Scones (scone rhymes with gone 😁) baked and a few eaten, some left for tomorrow. I didn’t get as far as cake making, but I did crack open the tub of glacé cherries and scoff two 🤣

    I used to love the whole meal scones they did in John Lewis 😋 Also prefer Pepsi Max although I don’t drink it that often.
