I'm wondering now whether I should make a bit more of an effort on a Sunday and cook a dinner myself, though I have to say that we do enjoy a couple of roasts through the week. There were so many fun things about the 80s but lots of cringeworthy things too.

Good for you. I'm glad you went out for Sunday dinner. I love to do that. I usually make a nicer dinner on Sundays, which I enjoy, but it would be nice to change it up sometimes too. That book looks like fun. I have a similar experience because my whole adolescence fell within the 90's, but I remember a lot about my 80's childhood too.Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-45042908692982166752014-07-29T16:42:07.531+01:002014-07-29T16:42:07.531+01:00what a great idea and I love your little hats.
