Thanks lovelies! SA that is my favourite of all our decorations - it was a Christmas present from a lovely friend years ago - originally came full of fudge in fact! The shadows it casts are wonderful aren’t they!
We have woken this morning to the gloomiest of gloomy weather - windy, torrential rain and just generally grim. I’ve not made it out of PJs yet! MrEH is prepping his kit for what is clearly going to be an exceptionally muddy rugby match this afternoon, and the only solid plans I have for the day involve getting a couple of Christmas bits sorted, heading to the land of pounds for cheap batteries for fairy lights, and to Sainsbugs to have a look at the clothes as the 25% off is still on and there are a few bits I could do with. Ooh - in fact MrEH has just announced his intention to pop in to town for a couple of bits, so I am going to head away and get dressed so I can cadge a lift! 😁 See you later!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡
