    Nowhere near putting the heating on . I resist temptation until October. Plenty of layers until then.   Mixed sunshine and warmer here today.

    Had to go and have a repeat blood test this morning. Then bought some nail polish remover and some facial wash. Things I need not want.
    I also bought 3 hardback books for 50p each in the animal charity shop.

    Hope everyone is having a good day 😊

    Morning Everyone.

    Sunshine here. So washing in the washing machine. This will be pegged out on the line for free drying.

    I sold an item, so I will take that and post it today.

    Hopefully will be an NSD today.

    It's Friday and BH weekend. 

    Have a good day everyone.

    Morning Everyone 

    I finished reading. Education by Tara Westover. It is worth a read .
    Now I am reading Really good, actually by Monica Heisey .

    Plans for today are a trip to the tip with some bulky items. Must collect my prescription from the pharmacy.

    Catch up on my accounts .

    Weather a bit overcast.

    Have a good day everyone 😊

    3 weeks and I'm hoping to be in Crete.  Doubt I'll be wanting the heating on there!!
