@ laurenh1 - So very sorry to hear about your dad and it will feel very heavy. Be very kind to yourself and have a treat without worrying about it. Sending your big (((hugs))).Today is a spend day! I need to buy a couple of essential things for babyface, so will be stocking up on a little shopping too! I hope everyone has a Fantastic NSD Friday!
