    I buy my Fitbit straps from eBay. My latest one is a stretchy one so no need to undo it. I had a bronze leather one last time and it looked great, got lots of compliments.

    Spending update….I liked the look of a blue leather strap, but it was £13.99 and a stretchy rainbow strap was also lovely and just £7.99, so I went for the stretchy one and didn’t go over my allocated £10 a day 😁

    I nearly went for the rainbow one but chose a blue/green Aztec type one in the end. I really like the stretchy one so far 👍

    Hi @WinterWarrior - have just started your diary and this cracked me up: 
    I did spend some time yesterday tweaking my (empty) Monzo pots in readiness though 🤣
    It's generally what I do of an evening these days. The pots are ready... the money not so much! 

    Haven't read all the way through yet, but will be subscribing as you seem like such a beacon of positivity :D

    I loved the Aztec one too 😁 very pretty.
    @beanielou i love it when it’s tipping it down, it always reminds me of being 5 or 6 in the school hall at lunchtime because it was too wet to go out. The windows seemed really high up and the sky was apocalypse dark and all the little people colouring on the benches with the bad boys running around 😁…back in the days when chutney outer spacers were a few pence and the best thing ever! 
    @Lu_thien welcome, I love to see new faces. We’re all a bit mad here…pull up a chair 😬 You will see that pots are my work in progress…kind of like the Hokey Cokey, but I hope one day soon to keep some in 😂

    Good morning and happy Sunday 🌞
    Today I am hoping for NSD2. It would have been yesterday, but the Fitbit strap tripped me up.
    The weather is lovely again so MrWW is happy. He has a new hide and has been playing out photographing birds. Yesterday I ran by his little window flapping my arms pretending to be a bird…oddly he was less amused than I was 🤣🤣🤣. He did get some very good pictures (of real birds) so that made him happy.
    Every time I write things I realise how outing this is to anyone who knows me, but it’s hard to diary any other way without being really boring! 
    I hope to do some more work on my quilt, I keep dreaming of free motion, but daren’t quite take the plunge, and maybe have a crack at the soup maker.
    I hope you all have lovely Sundays 🍪🍵🌺

    Good morning, I've convinced myself that nobody who knows me in real life reads these forums. Fingers crossed huh? Pretending to be a bird made me laugh if it helps? 🤣
