    Like you, I couldn't see the lunar eclipse due to clouds. Such a shame!
    Great decluttering

    I finally got round to booking my hba1c test today, it's only been due since January! 🤦‍♀️  I've been at SW for 12 weeks now, plus was making changes long before that so hopefully I will see a positive result.

    I've also started my xmas shopping :grin: plus ordered a couple of bits for little miss's birthday (November).  I want to be organised, and get everything done before December so I can relax and enjoy the build up.

    It might seem early to some but when you’ve got little ones you need to start getting ahead for Christmas. 

    I saw the lunar eclipse but didn’t realise that’s what it was until much later. I just thought the moon looked odd 😆

    Wow £170 PADs for September already 🥳
