    Happy payday WinterWarrior :) and happy long weekend everyone. Hope it's relaxing and full of nice stuff  :D
    Did someone mention stationery? I have a drawer of unused (so far :#) notebooks. And more on shelves. Love having them, so full of possibilities but find it really hard to write in them. Especially the really pretty ones.
    Nothing wrong with just looking at them is there?
    I have a mini eggs bar and a orange smartie bar - which should I eat first? After I've finished my bag of Minstrels that is B)

    Please put out food and water for the birds and hedgehogs :)

    @SuperMoose I do that too! I don’t want to spoil them 🤣 I think you should have some of each!
    @jokono you are right of course. I think it’s because it’s not for anyone, so I don’t feel driven to get on with it.
    @beanielou very true, we wait all month for this day and then it’s gone!

    Good morning and happy Saturday ☕️📚🍫🧁
    I’m tired today as I was still awake at 2.30am ..yawn. I painted a coat on the dolls house roof before bed..this will be the base, so I can paint slates on it. Then I spent a while scratching tiny paint measles off my iPad screen 😬 I never saw it spraying, but clearly it did…I’d best check the table 🤣
    I spent £3.99 on a kindle book in the wee small hours, so it won’t be an nsd today. That will come out of my first weeks pocket money. 
    Today will be the usual house jobs and then a touch more dolls house messing. I may have to make some food as MrT isn’t booked until tomorrow and we have nothing in for MrWW’s night shift food 😖 I have some frozen pastry, so maybe I’ll do pasties or sausage rolls.
    I hope you all have a very enjoyable day, do let me know what you get up to 📚☕️🎉

    Good morning and happy Sunday ☕️📚🍫
    Nothing much to report here. I painted my dolls house roof, but ran out of white paint so ordered more, which isn’t due to arrive until next Saturday 😧 I’ll have a rummage to see if I have any knocking about, but the walls may need to wait.
    I will take dog for her drive and MrT is due later.
    I rewatched all of season 1 of ghosts on gold last night. Season 2 is on tonight 😁
    I hope you all have a wonderful day filled with sunshine and happiness 📚☕️🧁

    Happy Sunday beanie. I hope you are having a good day.
    I finally mastered locking my car without the motion sensors activating, so I could fill up without dog getting my car to shout at me across the forecourt. It’s like the key fob equivalent of a secret handshake 😬 I never leave her in the car apart from if I’m filling up and only if we can see each other through the window 😁 I struggle to leave my car locked up and unattended, let alone the furry love of my life! 
    I fed MrWW bacon and now we are rewatching various super hero movies and waiting for MrT (cream buns!).

  • Happy long weekend @WinterWarrior

    I'm having a nice weekend, although it is bereft of cream buns :(

    I have met some friends, had a walk, watched a film.  Also done some work and a big food shop.

    love Deni
