    Oh my, not another bag. My DH likes to buy tops and shorts…none of which he needs. He bought 2 shirts and a pair of shorts in CS the other day, and I told him we now have a 1 in 1 out policy unless its something we desperately need. So I went through his wardrobe and got out a pile of ones he doesn't wear and told him to select some to get rid of. They are now in a pile waiting for me to put on V!nt*d

    Your garden lounging space looks lovely! And it’s been hot enough to feel like you’re in Ibiza 🥵

    Hoping your dgd is happier now she’s being home educated. Hats off to your dil and ds for doing this for her.

    I wish I enjoyed the heat but I really don’t. I like a nice summer day but this is too much for me. Think I need a cool mat like your little dog 😂
