    Mr N was much more aloof!
    We have 4 on the bed with us watching tv right now 😁 It’s stranger danger that has them scuttling on top of the highest cabinets. S must love you lots, cats can really bond with their special person.

    Ohhhhh 😱😂😂😂definitely chocs as in CHOCOLATES 😂😂😂 Beanie you’re a bad influence I need to try M&S buttons now. It’s been all over the local news that we’re getting 2 new M&S stores not far away. One is in my local town and it’ll only be a food store….they shut the proper store a few years ago. The other is in the big shopping mall not far away and they’re just transferring premises from where they are now to the old Debenhams store. I don’t class that as 2 new stores 🙄

  • @milann I’m so relieved it wasn’t crocs 😁 and so very jealous about the m&s stores 😢 I also love m&s buttons…along with so many other things of theirs (a special mention for white chocolate chip cookies).
    I went to the co-op today, mainly for a drive and also t get a few things MrT didn’t have. The snow has all gone, but there are potholes galore. Once again it’s like a slalom and some of them must need a ladder to get to the bottom of! 
    I was relieved to lose 0.2 of a pound and am now the proud owner of a 4lb badge. I’m not sure I dare weigh tomorrow in case it gets snatched back like the 3 did 😅
    I’m making chicken, roast potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, Yorkshire puddings and nasty stuffing for MrWW. It will be washed down with fizz! 
    I hope you are having a good Sunday ☕️⭐️

  • Good morning and happy Monday ☕️☕️☕️
    As expected, I lost my 4lb badge this morning with the earlier weigh in, but I hope to drag it back soon. I’m still counting it 😅
    I’m counting the days until Wednesday when the pay slips come on line and I can see what the small COL increase does to the numbers. I had decided to stop adding to pb’s until I get my other savings to the first hurdle, as I’d concentrated on pb’s last year, but I might just move the small increase there each month. I’m half way to my pb overall target, but only 20% of my other savings target. One is for a replacement car when I need it and one is so I don’t bottom out when I do replace the car. I don’t want to put myself into a position of having no safety net if I can help it. I’ve been there and it wasn’t fun! 
    I hope you all have a good day 🌟

    How rude of them to take back your badge 😞 Hope you get it back soon.

    It’s like the Hokey Cokey, but with badges 😬. Today was hard as I spent too many calories on porridge for breakfast and then splashing out on a banana to go with my lunch. So I had to weigh out 50g of chicken and 50g of air fryer chips (6 if you were wondering…yes SIX 😢) to go with my 2 mini wraps and salad for tea. MrWW had a nice plate full 🙄 I was just over the 1200, but then shared a custard cream with dog, so more like 1300 now. Plenty low enough to keep slow losing, but I’m still very hungry today. I could do with cracking open one of the boxes of Christmas chocolates 🤭
