    Lucky lucky you 😁
    Hair had been cut and straightened despite me suggesting she save the leccy and leave it kinky. We are now on route for fuel before hands in pockets for hobbycrafting and the range. Actually I shall be making a purchase but out of joint money as Mr M_F's work colleague is pregnant and I am going to knit a baby blanket. 
    I used to make my own sausage rolls with ready made pastry but decided it's a faff.
    I’m within ten minutes walk of the beach @moving_forward , and to boast a bit more, Sam Mendes is filming with Olivia Colman, Toby Jones and Colin Firth a couple of miles away ..... I’m near Margate in Kent

    I've only heard of anyone except colin firth 🤣 he's not one of my crushes so you can keep him.
    I will take the ten minutes walk to a beach though. Lovely.

    Sorry to hear about your friend.

    I am washing all my sofa covers while it is sunny and also cleaning the kitchen - such fun!  
    DD2 is home for the weekend so in a while we are going to the library as i ordered my next book for book group as a way of saving money and reducing stuff; we are also going for a walk and to visit DD1.

    I don't have sausage rolls or the ingredients to make them but i do live quite near to that well known vegan sos roll shop....

    love Deni

    Morning WW and friends.
    I took the dog out, little one to swimming classes and now back to loads of chores. I'll do some laundry while it's sunny, I need to clean the bathrooms and ask Boy1 to vacuum. He actually enjoys it.
    After feeding the boys - nuggets and chips from the freezer, I've been cooking all week - I'll take them and the dog to the local park. I hope I manage to squeeze some sewing in today too!

    You are all so busy! We have a beach in a 15 min walking distance (but too far for dog now), but no Colin Firth! Our beaches are just beach…so of course I miss ‘seaside’. The whole slots, rock, tat shop experience takes me back to wonderful childhood holidays. I want to see my beach with candy floss in one hand and a blue slush puppy in the other 🤣

    I love the Scottish beaches. Quiet and full of interesting rocks and things.

    I definitely live at the seaside and not the beach by that definition! Although - on the quieter (we like to think posher) end. I wish Colin Firth was here though! 😂
    Went to TK M@xx this morning but managed to resist everything except the fancy salt I went for, then met a friend for brunch. Now I've made it til payday I'm allowed a few treats this weekend before being good again 👼

    That’s true…often surfers, seals, seabirds and the occasional English lady wrapped up like an Eskimo carefully avoiding the washed up seal carcass 🤣 They are mostly empty, wild and very beautiful….such big expanses of sea and sky ❤️
