    I tried carrot cake hxbs, I love carrot cake but was glad the carrot cake ones were only pennies as I thought they were terrible!!!  Sorry, I like a real ordinary one !!!

    Oh I've already eaten a bar of choc, but the chocolate rabbit is still on the fire place and will (hopefully) still be there on Sunday  :D

    I used to love the cherry hot cross buns that m&s did a long time ago. I may have ordered some extra fruity and some salted caramel and chocolate ones from MrT’s… I wouldn’t have even thought about them until mf set us all off! 
    Perhaps you should bite off its feet nanny so it can’t hop away??

    My Mum bought me some of the chocolate and salted caramel ones from Mr S - I'd never tried them before.  The Mr T ones are lovely too.

    Good morning and happy Good Friday 🥚 🐇 🐰 👒 
    MrWW is in bed from night shift and dog is moaning up a storm at my feet. I was hoping for a sleep in, but nope, not happening. She’s had her breakfast, her snack and half of my 2 pack of biscuits…now she’s bored. 
    The hobby place have lost my order en route and asked if I wanted a refund or a reorder…grrr, why would I want a refund when I clearly wanted the material…that’s why I ordered it! So they said they’d resend, then I got an email saying they’d resent 2/3rds of it as one set (times 3) was now out of stock 😖 and they’d refund that bit. I paid by PayPal so got the notification they’d sent that back and then got told by PayPal that I’ll see it in 7 to 10 days. That’s so bad!  So now I will have to try and source some coordinating shades when the rest of it arrives…goodness knows how long that will take. Luckily I’m about 23 years from finishing the project I’m on, so I guess I have time 🤣
    We have a MrT order today. I’m sad that I’ve had to stop ordering the uncut tiger bloomer 😞 and have had to go for the pre cut and plastic bagged one, which isn’t the same. This is because last week, instead of the usual brown bagged loaf, it came loose with a tiny bit of brown paper to grab it. I couldn’t get over all the people that must have touched it and breathed all over it and the fact that it had been rattling round loose in the plastic crate on top of other much fingered items 😷 I put it in the cupboard and tried to get over it, but after a few days I tore it all up and sent it outside for the birds and the rabbits….rather them than me! Boak.
    We will be out, out tomorrow, but today I guess I will be entertaining moany dog and making meals. I will take her for a wander down to see the trees and river just now.
    I hope you all have a fabulous day 🍫☕️📚

    Good morning WW!
    Did you have a good moan at MrT about the bread? It's so annoying when they're making it difficult for us to be more sustainable. They should know every little helps 😅
    I went to our local mrT yesterday and got salted caramel, triple choc, st clemens and cinnamon/apple HCB yum! haven't tried any yet but I plan to once I get back home. I came to feed and let out the cat of a friend who is away. I've been here for almost two hours now, the cat is nowhere to be seen. There's no cat flap so I can either lock the cat out or wait until she decides to come back... The HCB are calling...

    @jokono the delivery person said that’s how they are doing it now, but I wasn’t there at the time…or I’d have sent it straight back. We are always ringing them about something, but it’s a big job trying to speak to anyone and they always say a local store manager will be in touch, but they never ever do get back to us. the dates and replacements are getting worse and worse.
    Sorry about the cat. They aren’t nocturnal so if it’s been out all night it may have found a neighbour to butter up…you know what cats are like. Have you tried shaking biscuits outside?

    Oh I wasn't clear, I left the cat out when I got there this morning! She stayed with me for a while and then left, I wanted to lock her back in until tomorrow. I decided to come back home for an egg muffin and a hot cross bun, I'll go back later and hope she'll be around.
