Wednesday, 13-12-23: Blogmas 13

Morning, everyone.  First of all, many thanks for all your kind comments yesterday.  I wasn't on social media much so didn't reply to each one as I usually do but how kind you all are.

Yesterday was a bit of a nothing sort of day.  I slept, I dozed, I gloomed, I didn't eat much . . . oh, you know.  In bed by eight, I pretty much went to sleep straight away and slept soundly until after five this morning.  Sleep is a great healer, isn't it?

Today I should have been doing two classes - circuits this morning and personal training this afternoon.  I'm not, of course.  Lindsey has very kindly moved my personal training to Friday which is lovely.

I do have Sharon coming around midday to do my hair and that's definitely still on.

Day 13 of the Body Shop Calendar yielded this . . .

It smells lovely and I do wish I didn't already have so much soap in my cupboard.  I guess if I don't need to use it for pressies this year, I will add it to the stack.  That's two now from the calendar - this one and a grapefruit one and they are both lovely.

Half way through and this is a lovely calendar.  I'm so glad I acted on impulse - there's nothing that I think 'What?????' about yet, eight items I am definitely using, four that I will be happy to regift and just one that I thought I might use - the bath scrubby things - but didn't like and, because I have used it, I can't hand it on really.

I've just has a thought - I can hand things on to our local food bank, can't I?  I know it isn't food but they don't just help out with food.

Today's Blogmas music is so well known, I need say no more.  Just uncomplicated, amusing and loud!

All together now . . .
