Gratitude thread!

My sister bought a little studio apartment, after being dejected because she missed out at an auction a couple of weeks ago. I'm happy for her :)

I also had a lot to do at work today, so the time went by quickly.

I am grateful for washing machines. Without them our lives would be so such harder.

I can live without a dishwasher, oven, microwave, still don't have a dryer, but the last thing I'd ever let go of is a washing machine. It's a non-negotiable. life would be horrible without one

I'm grateful I found the motivation to go to the shops and grab a few things I've been needing for like 2 weeks. Even if that motivation was mostly because ice cream

I just had half a donut which was very yummy.

Chocolate iced and filled with custard. Lots and lots of custard 😁

I'm grateful for the roof over my family's heads and for kids that enjoy spending time together. I'm actually rather grateful we're not doing much this weekend as I need the rest. I'll be watching the wrestling tomorrow with the kids and that's about it. Physically I'm knackered, it's been a tough week.

Grateful for my oodie and my warm merino socks, and for this absolutely rich and delightful chocolate cake left over from morning tea at work. A lovely pick me up while painstakingly working through all my deductions...
