    The full holdings people seem to do really well, but it’s a level I can only dream of. I do add at least a few hundred each month though, so the hope of a big win is always there 😁
    The film was excellent and I highly recommend it. I’m so glad we went. I did eat my body weight in popcorn though and followed it up with some very disappointing dried up fish and chips. The shop has really gone downhill since the last time we went. Dog had a full fish for her tea and enjoyed it all, plus the hard skanky bits of mine 🤭

    Good morning and happy Wednesday. The disappointing fish and chips have as predicted put back the weight I lost yesterday 😖 I’m not changing my signature, it can jolly well catch up again 🤭 We will be out today for lunch, but tomorrow will be a day of jobs (painting for me) and waiting for parcel collections (MrWW). I am determined to have a sundae today, not diet friendly, but my favourite thing and I don’t want to regret not having one when I’m back at work. It’s my ‘birthday week’ so I need to enjoy what I can, as of course Friday is expensive mot and service day, so that won’t be fun. 
    We have the quote from the plumber, but can’t book him in until the bath arrives. I ordered it on Thursday and still haven’t had a dispatch notice, so I don’t know when it will get done. The roofers aren’t likely to be free until next month and the same for MrWW’s garage door. It’s always hard when you want things done, but then have to wait! 
    I hope you all have a very happy Wednesday 🌞🍩☕️
