Congratulations @apple_muncher, that's great news. Happy cuddling your pink bundle 👣 hope your French trip goes well too.
Thanks @beanielou, it was a lovely surprise & shows I mean a lot to her 😊
Managed to do yoga again today, then Norwegian, then made stir fried veg & rice for today & tomorrow's dinners. Was nice to have something warm midday. Work went well.
Had an hour to spare, so I unpicked & replaced a zip in some trousers. Went for a lovely massage, then more sewing after tea. I see light at the end of the tunnel now, so will be able to enjoy the run up to my holiday more, without worrying about other things.
Grateful for a massage, nearly catching up with sewing, my cosy bed with the rain hammering at the windows, seeing a male pheasant & 2 curlews on my way to workUse it up, wear it out

Enjoy the baby cuddles @apple_muncher
No check in yesterday but both Tuesday and Wednesday were NSDs so that's me at 15 for the month 🎉🎉🎉
I've sorted a bag of "stuff" that's been sitting in the hall for weeks- I've walked past it so many times I had stopped even noticing it was there! Some thrown out or recycled, the rest put away where it should be. Slowly making progress to get the hall ready to paint.
One day I will have a house where unexpected visitors doesn't cause a panic because its untidy!

Congratulations, Apple.
I haven't forgotten you all. I read every day but so little happening here I've got nothing to tell you.
Even though I haven't been venturing out it's been quite an expensive month, I had to replace my underwear and sleepwear because everything I had was just too uncomfortable to wear. I guess it's partly because I'm a bit of a different shape now. However, we have been decluttering the freezers and store cupboards so that's a plus.
Need to get April's budget sorted. Everything seems to be going up in price this month.Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.8 -
Haven't posted for a few days but not much going on. Have spent on a donation go a work gift and some protein bars. Have a night out tomorrow so no more NSD's. I'll be driving but will buy dinner. Will be good to catch up with friends. Have generally achieved most of my goals for the month which is the main thing.8

Thank goodness there's only one more day until we break up for the hols!!
Did yoga & Norwegian this morning. A tricky morning at work, the afternoon was better, though with a different pupil. Went for a lie down when I got home, but didn't sleep unfortunately. Sat sewing after tea, & only finished at 10.15, cos I'd made an error on one thing, due to being distracted when 2 DS's returned. Have fixed it & it's not visible on the outside, but felt I should tell the customer. No reply yet... Haven't charged her & offered to buy a new pair of trousers. Have to try not to stress about it, or I won't sleep!
Grateful for one sewing job left to do, the bell at 3.30, a warm day, it nearly being the holidaysUse it up, wear it out
