@greenbee LOL. Let's hope so. At least it's a new one and not four years old.
Saturday! I need to take DD2 to youth theatre and buy some groceries. Also get the kids to do the big piggie clean out. Those baby piggies are growing in size and confidence.
Watching Ozark at the moment. Very entertaining.
Have a great day!7 -
Ooh my everything£5 order arrived.
Flippen floppen are good.
Slippers are 41 which I would call a 7 not an 8.
Frock is less cheap looking than expected.
Cardigan is cheaper looking than expected because of gold coloured buttons that looked brown online.
The bargainaceous bargain is two 100% cotton tops from Old NavySCOOP NECK COTTON KNIT TOP in mint, taupe or wine.

Morning!
Nice evening yesterday, watching The Responder. Reminds me of a Jim Cartwright play but set in Liverpool.
Today I have to get Bigorse and Ponyplops in for a fuss and a love and this afternoon I promised DS a walk in the woods.
There will undoubtedly be a homework crisis later in the day with DD2.
Windy and wet here and not that warm. NSD planned.7 -
