Not today, I started off with a bacon butty from the local bakery, I did win a prize on postcode lottery though, not enough to counter the day, not even breakfast! I also did something, I bought some clothes that I got to try on in a shop, and I loved them, being a big lass this was a rare occurence, although I spent, It was a good day. I am also going out tomorrow so not sure about then. I am thinking I will try and reign it in, I do want to get a calender as they do really good arty ones where we are going and this years one that I had purchased brought a lot of cheer, so I think it would be worth it. I'll let you know what I decide tomorrow, perhaps I can wait for another time or maybe I won't like the options?Missions: -
