    The jumper sounds fab @Blackcats, I'm very impressed you made it. Brooch sounds lovely too, you're probably right it wouldn't be allowed now! I inherited a necklace pendant of a skull design carved into ivory from my dad, I wouldn't even dare put it on ebbay!

    Enjoy your candle, is there one in the stash that is Eau de Lethal Weapon?

    Thank you again for setting this up, I have been in a right grump all day and it's really nice to have a Designated Nice Thing to look forward to and make me give my head a wobble

    That must be one cooked tortoise! 😂❤️

    Had a nice afternoon wandering around second hand book shops and getting home before dark. Found a brilliant book on vernacular architecture for my mum, a gardening and an Irish crochet (actually looks like lace 😳👏🤩) books for me 😊📖

    I am currently trying to not eat a WHOLE packet of Belgian milk chocolate Brazils … 😉😊

    Nice warm shower in a bit, followed by curling up in front of the wood burner and Monty’s next episode 😊🤩❤️

    @CapricornLass what a fabulous looking leopard tort!

    Sorry to jump in but what a lovely idea for a thread.

    My cosy friday night has been with the youngest child baking a cake and prepping for home made icecream to be made tomorrow.  There's a record playing (and darts on in the background - his choice), he has hot chocolate, I have beer ..... fingers crossed it all turns out edible 🤣

    Loving the cosy cat and tortoise 🥰 I’m sat on the sofa with the dog cuddled up next to me drinking a glass of 🍷and watching TV with my fairy lights and candles on.
