I was being tempted by some second hand Jill and her pony books last week sun addict, but I still own some chalet school.

I never had a pony phase, but loved Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys and then Biggles. The Secret Garden was the first book that had me reading non stop to finish it and made me realise how wonderful reading was. I love hearing about everyone’s favourites 🥰Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

Lovely hearing about everyone's childhood books 😊
My today (other than starting Phantom Tollbooth!):
Admin
Tidying
Few receipt surveys
So very tempted to go back to bed
Bits and bobs off the to-do list
Comping
Rucksack and suitcase from mums
Flat sorting
Flat sorting
So much flat sorting
When my joints really couldn't take any more, entered some competitions. Today I'm mostly looking forward to winning 5k in store vouchers but I would also be very pleased with some fancy-looking chocolate and a cashmere scarf
Little bit more sorting
20 minute walk to meet Mr PIP after work, dropped off plastics recycling, recycled a pair of shoes, got essentials from Aldi.
Dropped off crossword paper to mum on way back and ended up having a glass of wine with her which was nice
Does anyone happen to know what the 'Sparks treats' are if you recycle clothing at M&S?
Hope everyone is having a great Friday, I am absolutely knackered!
Much to do tomorrow 😂

My childhood favourites were The Twins at St Claire's series and all the Little House on the Prairie books. (I loved the tv series too)2

Loved the chalet school and Mallory towers. Didn’t watch the tv version in case they ruined it.1

Up not terribly bright but definitely early for a Saturday!
Half wussy situps
Tidying

Bits from mums
Flat sorting
Comping
Mr PIP went to a pub event with his mates and I stayed home and did spec work and flat work
Half hour carpet walk
Ordered Mr PIP a new nectar fob as his broke. There are points to be had! 😂
Domestic things like changing all the towels and watering all the plants
20 minute carpet walk
Cracked open a Brewdog Hazy Jane Pineapple which oddly enough tastes of Tizer
Bit tired, momentarily forgot the word for toes and had to call them feet fingers
Defurred as much of a big blanket as I could. We've agreed the cat will have to be sent out to work, the amount she costs us in lint rollers
Ten minute carpet walk
Big dust-down of sofa supports we've removed
More flat sorting
Mr PIP back soon with random yellow sticker dinner!
