    Took my friend out for cake and a cuppa, not quite New York but it was the best I could do (£16.10). Put the world to rights. 
    Dentist 😱 best leave that there. Sm trip, dropped off batteries, coat hangers and books to be recycled. Food £50 ish didn’t seem a lot  in my bags again. Than picked up the youngest who’d been let down again by a certain individual. Talked over the situation and they have decided to leave the chat group they have together. So to cheer them up , I got in touch with boyfriend’s mum and he’s coming for lunch and a movie Saturday. They only get to see each other for about half an hour at college as they attend different days. Youngest misses spending time with him. We don’t live in the same town so it makes it difficult for them to meet up as he isn’t as independent as the youngest. Big beamy smiles all round. Mr🐞 and I had plans but we’ve altered them to put a smile on the youngest face😁. 
    Tonight plans were scuppered as the youngest was needing reassurance and parent nearness( not sure I’ve explained that very well), so I said i would help clean and declutter their room. Managed about a third, got rid of 3 lots of very old bedding that was being stored, old clothes etc, boxes and other random gubbins. Will tackle the rest tomorrow.
     Made 2 sales on the bay, one paid for and one pending. Relisted 2 things and made a new listing. Cancelled 1 listing on V and will put that in the car boot pile. 
    Right enough waffle from me.
    love 🐞
