Yes, a mistake that will not be repeated @jwil! Reminds me of when DD told me as we left for school one morning that she needed an unlimited number of the inside of loo rolls. They were building a scale model of Apollo 13...

🤣 this used to drive me CRAZY (and sadly was repeated many times despite the fallout!!)

DH thought I was being harsh when I said little jwil couldn't go on the PS as a result. It's easy for him to say when he wasn't in the slightest bit inconvenienced this morning!
Lack of sleep is fuelling chocolate cravings today. I was ok at work (and proud of my resistance this morning) but since I came home have been struggling. I'm also grouchy so might just head up for an early night.
I've been meaning to sort through my clothes for a while, but haven't got round to it. So from this week, I am going to make an effort to wear everything I have (not all at once 😁) and then once I've worn it, decide whether it is a keeper or a goer. The top today is rather large on me, so although I like it, it can go.
In good news, two projects I have been working on have been shortlisted for awards, and I'm actually allowed to go so there will be a trip to the big smoke in my future.

Quite right for there to be consequences to actions!
Great thinking on the wardrobe, and hopefully as well as clearing bits you'll find some things that are given a new lease of life
Congrats on the nominations and the trip to look forward to 🥂

Thank you 😊
Thank you 😊 Wardrobe testing continues, I have two to go, one to keep and one that is a bit tight so I will keep and review when it fits properly.
