AD✨ Washing away the January blues with some vib AD✨ Washing away the January blues with some vibrant undies by @myoddballs.

Comfy and cute is mandatory for droll days like this. ☁️ Fully stretch cotton with soft seams and deep elastic bands mean Oddballs crop tops and boxer briefs stay put and wear like a dream.

I adore the pants!  They fit like a glove and are sooo comforting on period days when I need to wear a heat pad on my tummy.

Just need to request a fuller bust crop top cos my b(.)(.)bs need more snuggle room! 😄

Here’s something you may bump into me doing… b Here’s something you may bump into me doing… bargain shopping, charity shopping, thrift hauling, call it what you will. I love the thrill of shopping, always on the hunt for silly prices and getting a deal with a little “squee” dance when it hits the sweet spot. 

Who else loves bargain shopping? 🛍️

Shaun the Sheep ‘Find the Flock’ trail at was Shaun the Sheep ‘Find the Flock’ trail at was fun! 🐑 

Did this back in December in the run up to Christmas, when we went to Belsay Hall in Northumberland. There’s still time to do it if you haven’t, as the awesome sheepies are there til the 26th January 2026. It’s a really nice walk around Belsay’s gardens so worth a visit.

So which do you think looks the best one?  I love the gingerbread Shaun and the gardener Shaun because it has some lovely little bugs all over him. 🐞

2026 is here ✨ This wasn’t today though. Thi 2026 is here ✨ 

This wasn’t today though. This was the last day of 2025 (yesterday) but it was just as cold. It was a frosty day and we ended up playing with the ice in the frozen ponds at Fountains Abbey. Just breaking it up, smashing it through with twigs and releasing air bubbles. Didn’t actually see the abbey. Just played with ice. Most unexpected fun ever. 😄
