  1. taken my dog to the groomer - he's like a walking cloud Grin
  1. bought more Primark 'cosy leggings' for my youngest. She has a few sensory issues with clothing, and lives in these. Typically, they've gone all holey since lockdown, and I'm not sure sewing that fabric would work.

What about you?

We are thinking about experimenting with bowl haircuts. We have an old photo of my late father as a very cute scowling child with one, which has always been a talking point. We too could be talking points for generations to come, but I fear not in a good way in my case.

Hair cut and shopped for some new bras. 🙂

I wish I'd picked the new paint colour I wanted. I've now decided finally and I will just have to wait.

I'm lucky that I always have crafty bits, art supplies, projects etc on the go. I love crafting and it keeps the kids happy. Got drawers and drawers full of it! So far we've done baking, painting, made paper flowers, and are starting on a giant rainbow tomorrow. Weve still got wristbands to make, crochet to do, rocks to paint, adult colouring books...It's like a fucking Hobbycraft store in here! 😂

Wish DH and I hadn't both resigned from our jobs days before lockdown Blush

@allaboardthesinkingship

Not a very MN thing, but I used to have lash extensions done continually pre-lockdown. On removal, I could see that my natural lashes were trashed. There will never be a better time to build them up again! I bought some castor oil on Amazon, and have been applying nightly. There has been a definite difference in only a couple of weeks Smile
