Enjoy your day out with little miss , my DGD and I go off on our shopping days to the big town. Grandma usually comes back with less money than she intended.

That has definitely happened here too!
Thank you, we've had a lovely day. Good point about there being plenty of time left in the month. I need to do more now!

We've had a lovely day mooching around. Little miss is very happy with her purchases, and managed to convince me to add a couple! I also got Mother's Day gift sorted for my mum, and we got given a free goodie bag with various bits and a gift voucher in so that was a nice bonus. It's a small local shop so it's nice to support them anyway. I didn't buy myself anything 😇
We had a drink and a cake and lunch out too, so not on plan, but it was very nice. We came home and baked some more cakes and watched a film together too.
I lost 2.5lb this week at SW and got a shared SOTW too, so I am very pleased with that!

I did take a couple to send to DH, and he has sent me a couple of his day out with little jwil which they both seem to have enjoyed too.

In good news, my ipod died yesterday. I was going to replace it with a cheap phone that I could just download audible and borrow box on but it seems to have sprung back to life again today. I will eventually replace it as I can't transfer anything to it any more, but there's no hurry now. I only use it at bedtime where it's safer to listen to books I'm familiar with so they don't keep me awake 😂, and use my phone in the daytime where I listen to the 'new' books.

Well done on the weight loss 🥳 I’m impressed you’ve still got an iPod going strong.

Thank you 😊 I'm amazed it's lasted so long as well. It has a huge black spot on the screen, and the charging cable is dodgy too, so it's only a matter of time.
