    That sounds just like my local high street 🤣

    Finally got out with the dog just after 3pm when the GKs left. Had to get my wellies back out as the park was sodden. She’s had a good run and is sleeping it off now. The GKs made me play hide and seek with them, we had to take it in turns to be the seeker. The dog gave me away when I hid behind the living room curtains 🤣

    We are the furthest south they go and they don’t go any further than the north east of England - just looked them up on a map.

    Have you thought about TKM online? Could be worth looking...
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    I’ve never heard of Boyer either. I usually avoid TKMax as I’ve never found anything in there. I might venture in to see what Sketchers they have. I need the ones with the removable inserts.

    Morning happy Sunday. 

    I’ve been up since 5am 🥱 Typical I’m wide awake and raring to go on a weekend, tomorrow when I have to get up at that time I’ll be half asleep. I fell asleep just after 8pm last night which is probably why. 

    The weather looks pretty decent for this morning so the washing is on. Rain forecast for this afternoon though. Going to get all the outdoor jobs done while it’s dry then I can move onto the indoor stuff. So this morning will be dog walking and gardening and this afternoon will be housework and cooking. I need to make a list …

    Today’s exercise plan is dog walking, gardening and an abs and yoga session. 

    Money wise it will be NSD 2 of August. 

    As it’s self care Sunday will be soaking in the bath later with a face pack then painting my toe nails. 

    Trying a new recipe for tonight’s dinner from The Veg Space website - Vegan Moussaka https://www.thevegspace.co.uk/recipe-the-ultimate-vegan-moussaka/ 

    As I fell asleep so early last night there’s loads of rose cava left, I think I had one glass, such a party animal 🤣
