  • Thanks everyone.

    I’ve had a lovely day and evening. Just watching home alone and having a beer with my new pjs. 

    My parents visited earlier and we had a lovely chat about their past. 

    I managed to get the pjs and a new nose ring set. I’ll get some bath bombs next week and some nice chocolates too. I’ll use the rest for the carpet money.

    The £50 came in today from the bank as well. 
    I’m going to use half term to buy my small Christmas gifts that need getting. It’s only about 6 but I might as well get them all done whilst I can.

    Have a lovely evening everyone x

    Happy birthday pleased you had a lovely day 
  • I forgot to add that my mum was shopping everywhere as DD gave her a specific candle fragrance to find for me from her. It’s actually from a local seller but DD didn’t know where so my mum went round a huge shopping centre trying to find the exact scent as DD insisted she got that one! She could only find one in JL 😂 
    my mum said she was so clear on what I had to have. She’s 8 and so caring already. X
