Hi @Former-Member - I have a cavoodle - cavalier poodle cross. She's gorgeous but getting older and slower. Content with going for a walk in the morning and late afternoon and then sleeping most of the time in between. She's wonderful company.
Don't worry about the Easter eggs. At least they were mini ones and unwrapping the foil probably slowed you down. I've started nibbling on the choccies myself.

My step count for the week - surely that's worth a couple of hot cross buns and some chocolate eggs.

hello @soul @Shaz51 @Former-Member
goodness me soul I think that many steps warrants diving into the chocolate vat!
breakfast : healthy same old
lunch light rye ciabatta rolls, various lettuces, baby spinach, rocket, beetroot, spanish onion, prosciutto, turkey and ham sliced, kalamato olives, continental cucumber, baby trussed tomatoes (sounds fab doesnt it all the fancy names)
dessert: planned - mini magnum icecreams, classic or almond nuts
dessert: eventuated - sister bought freshly baked apple pies from the bakery ( these should not count against me as I didnt buy them and could not be rude and refuse?)
dinner: I am just having a salad as am still full from lunch, cooking some chicken for husband to have with salad.\
I have a large haighs chocolate easter egg that a young lady I met during my hospital period gave me (she had bpd and I absolutely loved her. if i ever had a daughter i would love one like her)
