Not too good here either Saundra but I don't care, we're going nowhere :)
Tomorrow's meant to be nice, so a good walk with that Minnie girl is on the cards, since we've done everything that needs doing so early :lol:
I might make some oaty parmesan biscuits - if I feel like it. And maybe mince pies :)

Btw, Mr Kipling's gingerbread whirls are rather nice ;) 8-) :x

Tom brought a box of those home with him the other day, he'd got them for 50p from the Co-op as they were short dated.
They're lovely!

Glittery nail varnish people!!
I've just, inadvertently, discovered a way to remove it!

Steam!

Thankfully I didn't have time to do my nails yesterday so had clear gel on nine of them and then on my one little finger nail had a coat of gel, a coat of glitter, a second coat of gel and then another coat of glitter. That had been applied to see how it looked.

I just steam cleaned the shower, didn't bother wearing gloves, and when I'd done I thought I'd look to see how this new nail polish had fared while cleaning, whether it had started to wear off on the tips.

I looked. No nail polish. I looked again. Definitely no nail polish. Not even the slightest trace of it around the cuticles to show that it had once been there. The nail is completely bare.

I discovered Mercadona's acetone free nail polish remover is fantastic for removing glittery polish.

99 cents a bottle. :lol:

We're cow watching :oops: :lol: :lol:

They keep trying to get at our grass :lol: :lol: and so Grumpy has had to tie the barbed wire together, to stop rather large heads and horns coming through :lol: :lol:

He's now chased them away and is going to scythe our grass, so they won't try to get at it - it's too wet to use the strimmer :oops:

The rain in Leeds falls mainly on the weeds, and the roofs, and cars, and paths, and grass, and roads.......... and on my head! :roll: :roll: :roll:

It cannot make its mind up today. One minute it is blue skies, then the wind picks up, the clouds roll in and everything gets dumped in no time at all. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Grey and windy here and despite a light shower that lasted half an hour, the washing - which included a load of bath towels - has dried!

John's just found some Laurel and Hardy on Amazon Prime so I'm going to make some coffee, get some biscuits and then we'll sit and watch that.
