An early call for today. Im at my rug making course today 🥰 really looking forward to it, im finding crafting brilliant for my mental health since my dad's passing . Yesterday I used clubcard vouchers for a day out with the kids but I did buy them an ice cream using the money I'd put aside for treats for them.
