    🤣🤣🤣 Although having said that, I’ve seen elderly blokes drinking beer at the tables outside our local Spoons that early in the day 🤢

    I caught up with Derry Girls, thanks for letting me know it was on all 4. So funny too 😁 Sister Michael has some fabulous expressions. 
    Are you feeling better Deni?
    I’m not looking forward to Monday either 😖

    It must be the weather ! I went to a local town today and walked past three different blokes drinking from a can in the streets, most bizarre - this is a ‘nice’ quaint little town …..

    Good morning and happy Monday 😧 (sobs quietly).
    everything has gone out of the bank now, the final expected payments went today. I have £4 something to last me nearly 2 weeks to payday 😧 I’m not sure that’s doable! I owe nothing (apart from mortgage obvs.) and don’t need anything, but paying all the money out for tyres, plus some stupid frittering means I haven’t saved half as much as expect and my pots are looking very sad from shuffling. If I don’t spend anything I will end the month £200 up, but that’s so annoying when it should have been over £500. The best laid plans and all that. I keep thinking in x amount of months I’ll have increased my savings….and it never happens. I need more discipline in my life. 
    Ah well, in other news, I did manage to sort out that cupboard. I removed loads of stuff and it’s still full…it’s like a magic cupboard! I seem short of decent fitted sheets, but shamefully I had a super king sized quilt cover in there that I’ve never even used and totally forgotten about! It was one of a two pack and still wrapped around its cardboard 🤦🏻‍♀️
    I hope you all have a happy Monday filled with wonderful things ☕️☕️☕️📚📚🍫🍫
