That storage cupboard must be a big one if it's going to be a bathroom.
Ha ha, currently it's an okay size which fits my boxes, but we're knocking through to John's old wardrobe so it can make way for a new bathroom. I'm still trying to work on not having it done and just having an even bigger cupboard all to myself but John's having none of it.

Yes thanks, didn't get any cards but it doesn't bother me that much as I just think it's another money making gimmick. I don't need cards to know they love me, well my eldest son and youngest daughter do anyway. Had a lovely FaceTime call from my eldest son this afternoon and spoken to Kelly as well.
Why the odd socks?
Why the odd socks?
Aww, that's nice I'm glad you had a good day.
The odd sock thing started at Christmas, Han got a box of them for Christmas which she refuses to wear, so I had them instead, she then got me the same box for my birthday so that I could make proper pairs with them, but I refused and wore them all as odd socks as they were intended. She then got me a different set of odd socks for Mother's Day, so it now it seems to be our thing.

Really, why what do you wear?
I must admit it felt bizarre at first because it seems wrong to be wearing odd socks because it's not something you would typically do; however, I've really embraced it. Once I wore them out in public and openly in Yoga I was fine.
Apparently, I was ahead of the trend because I then saw everybody wearing them to raise awareness for Down's Syndrome Day this year.

Well I don't wear them, as I don't go out I have no need too but on the odd occasion I've had to go out if it's summer I wear sandals and don't need socks and if winter just a pair I have for that.
Trouble is though that I now am going to have to buy some new footwear as what I have doesn't fit anymore, I only just managed to get my sandals on when I had to go to the doctors the other week.
I've done well with the sandals though as I bought them when we first moved to Wales just over 30 years ago. I've also got a pair of slip on shoes and a pair of trainers, plus of course my slippers.

I hear you on the footwear, I'm having real trouble buying shoes because of arthritis in my toe and I can't wear heels anymore sadly 
I'd love to see you rockin' a pair of trainers though, I wouldn't have had you down for that.
30 Year sandals, blimey they've lasted, haven't they?

Used to wear trainers a lot, as I have worn trousers for a number of years they were the ideal footwear, but these days as I can't reach to tie the laces easily it's either slip on or the sandals.I hear you on the footwear, I'm having real trouble buying shoes because of arthritis in my toe and I can't wear heels anymore sadly

I suppose they have lasted well but as they didn't get worn too often and were well made, think a lot would think of them as men's sandals. These days I wear slippers out more than other footwear, I never really wore a lot of high heels being nearly 5' 9" I didn't feel the need to.

I get a few ebooks from Amazon Bill, but of course I use the co.uk site rather than the .com site. I get emails from places that list the free or very low costs books and I also get the notice from Amazon when they bring out the monthly selection and I can pick one for free because I have Amazon Prime.
I don't pay for the Kindle Unlimited as getting free ones and my library visiting me every month allowing me up to about 5 books a month means I have plenty to read.
