    Sorry I have been MIA - Real life took over as hubby has been in the hospital since mid-June and I've been spending a lot on fuel and car parking charges.

    I'd like to re-join for August with a target of 15 please - today is one for me as I am not physically visiting today, we are going to have a video call instead :)

    Sorry to hear hubby has been unwell. Sending hugs x

    Hello everyone!  I'm on holiday for two weeks in this month (albeit all saved for over the last year), so my NSDs might be a little light.

    I’m sloping back in this month with my tail between my legs 😂

    I am counting today as a NSD. It looks like I will need to get DS a new t-shirt for gym as his is getting very small now, but it is a 1 for 1 replacement that is a requirement in my book and not a frivolous purchase. He’s been wearing the same one for 3 years now 😂. Not sure how I got away with that.
