12/28 for me today please. The siren whined treacherously late this afternoon, but I told her to "bog off"
Tomorrow being Sunday, and not counted as a day of fasting in terms of Lent, I'll be scoffing cake and chocolate.What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?6 -
@ManPants well done on resisting temptation, for 240 days too, as @maman and @doingitanyway say, that's quite an achievement! xx
