NSD 11, 12 and 13 on Saturday, Sunday and today (Monday) but I'm actually quite sad about it 😢
Last weekend should have been one of my favourite times of the year- EUROVISION- but the party event I had been looking forward to for months was cancelled at the last minute.
I'm not going to enter into a debate about the reasons why many Eurovision parties didn't go ahead, except to say that I am gutted.
Got a full refund on the tickets and travel and was still able to get home in time to watch it on TV at home and join fellow Eurovision fans on Zoom for a virtual party.
Also gutted that UK's entry wasn't as warmly received (fnarr fnarr) as it should have been and that Croatia didn't win. We were quite excited at the possibility of a Eurovision holiday in Croatia, but Switzerland might be cool.

Strolling around National Trust properties, picnicking among the flowers in their beautifully manicured gardens, decked out a floaty summer dress?!laurenh1 said:Thanks @HotDog2020
Today is a NSD. My husband bought milk for the office and filled up his car but it is all in budget.
I'm making the most of the sunshine 🌞 and having a walk on my lunch. I have a dress on which I bought in the Tesco sale for £1.75 2 years ago..I always enjoy telling people when they comment on my dress 👗
This weekend we will be using our free national trust pass and taking a picnic, so I'm looking forward to that. It feels easier to stay in budget when the sun is shining somehow!
Living the dream, for less than half the price of a National Trust teacake ❤️
Still marvelling at your £1.75 dress. I thought I got a bargain when I found a perfect summer dress for £3, but you've certainly beaten that 😁

Thanks @Worlds_Worst_Superhero. I teamed my dress with charity shop shoes and a cardigan my friend gifted me. Last of the big spenders my Dad would say 💛 I think my dress will be going away tomorrow- forecast rain again ☔️😭Worlds_Worst_Superhero said:

You’ve reminded me I helped organise a clothes swap recently, it’s easy to do, if you ever fancy it x2
