    Sainsers taste the difference dontchaknow @beanielou 💅
    Free off of olio obvs 😁

    I'm sure what with everything going on I can access grumpy face on any given day @Blackcats!
    Though considering I'm also meant to be safeguarding these children, it's probably best if I don't 'get into role' by thinking what face would I have if they worked for octopus 😁

    Well that can be the first thing on the list of how you use inheritance to treat yourself @ladyholly. Regular muffin treats for Lady H!

    Couple of surveys
    Usuals
    Build admin

    Went to get stamps and coins I inherited valued.
    Nothing for the stamps so will (when I get round to it) stick them on the usual sites.
    Over 3k for the coins. Very pleased I bothered!
    Checked with his partner that she doesn't want any as wasn't sure if she knew it would be that much, but she said to keep it 😊

    Popped over to mums and got roped into repotting a monstera, took a cutting off the sorriest leaf in case anything can be done with that

    Won a cake bundle!

    Walk with Mr PIP to WFP and raise a glass to my departed friend whose coins they were. Cheers mate, rest in peace 🍻
