    🤣🤣🤣 I was being good though, until I realised you were getting some. I have a house full of chocolate, but it’s still hard 😢

    Good morning and happy Thursday ☕️🍫📚🧁
    oooh I nearly caved and spent money yesterday, but MrWW offered to buy it…so I was good 😇, yet still have a new toy! It’s from the hobby place though, so may take several years to arrive…I’m still waiting for the fat quarters 😧 Anyhow, I know you’re all on the edge of your seats so 🥁 drum roll…it’s a little wooden house and some paints. The house has hinges and a catch, so it closes up or opens out to see inside. It’s plain wood and I have it in my head that I could paint it and make it beautiful. Obviously it could be a train wreck, but I think I’ll have hours of fun for a £20 house 😁
    I know it’s a short week this week, but I’m really ready for the weekend.
    Dogs steps came yesterday. They are lovely and solid, so thanks for the recommendation. Sadly, she will not use them 😖🙄 They are the steps from hell, designed to trap large dogs and throw them into the abyss, never to be seen again. They are the steps all puppies are warned about by their mothers and the only thing to do is to walk around them whilst simultaneously sobbing that you can’t get on the bed. Sigh! They are staying in place, maybe she’ll give in and have a go eventually. We’ve tried treat trails, helping, showing how it’s done, cat examples….but she’s not getting it. She’s not the brightest 😬
    I hope you all survive Thursday and get all the treats you deserve 🍫📚☕️

    Aww you could have come down and done my dolls house for free!  I've done precisely nothing since I put a coat of paint on it :D

    Your dolls house sounds wonderful 😁
    Leave the steps in situ. Took dog a few days to realise they were there to help her. We had them in living room for a day or two so she could use them to get in cats radiator bed and on sofa so she got used to them.
