    Get out @Rhyddid2026, binning strawberry roses indeed, they're the best ones

    Oh, I see other correct-thinking people have already said that, for shame Rhyddid, for shame 😂
    Well done on the other decluttering though 😁

    I have finished writing the dates in my notebook so it is now a diary. Next step is birthdays and all the date notes

    I don't normally like the orange creams @joedenise but I tried them to be sure and they were quite nice!

    I think it's a texture thing rather than flavour for me.

    OAT - I cleaned the medicine drawer this morning. What a mess. I had to throw away some out of date cough syrup and other things. A whole carrier bag full. I then had to rush around getting ready as I had a taxi coming as I’m going out today. It is a beautiful and crisp sunny day here and not as cold as yesterday, thankfully.😎
