Cheery's path to fulfilment - finishing the DIY, looking after myself, appreciating the garden 🌻

It looked like it might be one of those massive ones they have at the zero waste shop! Rather than something you'd buy for your house. Or maybe you'd have it to fill up dispensers in a guest house or something? Who knows.
Lots of different ways of being female @Jellytotts no need to hand back your card! 😊
Lovely evening tonight at anniversary party 😊 they'd hired a room above a pub and I was expecting standard large emptying function room, but it was a really nicely done out little restaurant vibe, and we had excellent tasty food. Lovely. Mr C and I stopped at a cafe on the way, and had a cocktail each after our food 😁 so the joint treats budget has taken a bit of a hit today 😬 around £35 in total, so not too bad. Good that food was free (for us - generously paid for by our hosts).
Are hosts are generously also letting us stay over. I came upstairs to do my duolingo homework before I missed the cut off, but now I'm upstairs I'm VERY tempted to go to bed. Mr C was deeply engrossed in a conversation about hats so I don't think he'll miss me... 😬😂5 -
Jellytotts said:How would anyone use 20l of lotion???? Actually don’t answer that!
I’m so naff at being a woman, I don’t own any nail varnish and only have a big blue pot of Nivea that gets used on body/face/hands….add a small tin of Vaseline for my lips and that’s me done. Don’t own any make up but do have a pot of hair gel/wax to tame my staticky fine hair.
I only own one handbag too!
I really should hand back my “female” card.
I think it takes more than that to be female, a woman 😊

I'm pretty certain you get to be woman whichever way you want - as long as you feel woman, you are woman. If the way you're doing it doesn't fit someone else's definition that's a them problem.Start mortgage date: August 2022; Start mortgage amount: £240,999; Original mortgage free date: August 2056

I knew I was going to be a female fail before I was even 10 when I was given a doll for Xmas instead of the scalectrix I asked for. I was not happy.5
