It has cheered me upEven though I don't watch the Apprentice I appreciated it
On topic, I have started on the kitchen. I doubt I'll finish it all but I'll have broken the back of it. Oh and I had to put the heating on for 10 mins just to lift the chill from the air. It is not warm this evening!I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

lol that is great Soappie but one I shan't be letting Miss A see! Good and bad news on the passport, I would have challenged the fee for the 7 day turnaround on the basis that their system was not operating.

I would have challenged the fee for the 7 day turnaround on the basis that their system was not operating.
The 7 day turnaround rate he paid was actually cheaper that the same day rate would have been so there's no challenge really. He had to make a decision then and there. He made the one he thought best.
With hindsight, if I'd known about that situation, I would have told him to still go for the same day, then put him on a train home and BB and I would have stayed up until whenever.
But hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Right - here goes....I can't do any worse than I have the past few weeks but my intention is to get back on track this week and stay there.

Wretched windows getting in there again! I can't REACH my kitchen window - or most of the sill - it's really irritating! Grrr! Oh well, it's a start. I did eventually get most of the way through the enormous pile of shredding which had built up yesterday afternoon - before the shredder overheated in protest!
Oh - in addition to the stuff crossed through above I have also emptied the WM & DW, and put half the next load in the WM too to go on overnight tonight. The time delay in my new machine is excellent - I just set it to go on at about 2am to take account of the cheap electric! A few bits of washing up done to, and filled the rinse aid in the DW which took loads - goodness knows when I last did it!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

DH just phoned - he wont be home for at least an hour. I haven't spoken to a living soul until he left at 8am.
Have eaten my dinner, it was very nice. I'm very glad I went to investigate the strange popping noise while it was cooking - I was gradually setting fire to a tray. Hadnt realised how close it was to the hob!
The cooker really needs cleaning too. Perhaps I will create myself a Friday list (as no kids rooms) and put that on it."Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things, but just look what they can do when they stick together."
