  • happy Friday everyone :) 
    Sunny day here so I have washing on the line and am going to sit outside in the sunshine with a cuppa tea for 5 mins over lunch.
    I hope we are not going off on a big discussion on notebooks as i am stationary deprived :(

    Oh @Deni_debt-free_dreamer I have lots of notebooks (not sorry). I still haven’t used the one with the coloured pages or the black, black one that needs a white or metallic pen! I look at them, but am saving them 😀 What stationery do you need?
    It’s been raining here….probably as I have a day off!

    Well I feel like I wasted my day off…I really did nothing and now feel a bit meh 🫤 MrWW is on nights so we watched the new Venom movie and then nothing really! I ate too much chocolate and then too much pasta…that was my achievement for today 🤣 The only good thing is I didn’t spend anything, just did the shuffle and paid off the pet food. I finished the recovery agent book yesterday. I enjoyed it. Now I’m on the last Rivers of London…amongst our weapons, which I’d pre ordered a long time ago and was released last month. I will read some more of it later, but feel a bit at a loose end right now. 
    I was looking at my savings targets (now I have proper ones with percentages) and it will take me 3 years of determined saving with no set backs to get there…that seems such a long time 😖

  • You are doing so well dont be hard on yourself, I have read some of your posts on other sites and have nothing but respect for you and what you have achieved.  Have you started your little house, will you plan it out or just see what happens when you start.  I crochet and knit but at the moment seem to have a real block on doing anything constructive, preferring to read and just stuff myself with chocolate!  Have a lovely long weekend x

    Thank you so much. I have met a block with my quilting too, it’s been so tricky to line up so it’s putting me off getting it out 😧
    Im in the research stage of my house…in other words looking at other dolls houses on Pinterest and Instagram….some look like you could move in! I really hope I can make mine even half as good.

    What happens if it doesn't line up perfectly? Would you be able to tell in a couple of years looking from a distance? 


    I hope your rest of the weekend will be filled with chocolate and good books!
