    I was really lucky & someone was advertising on our local FB page for a room for the summer.
    They move in next week.
    Room was not ready but it is now!!

  • I think you are all very brave with the lodger. My Mum and Sister once moved in with us when she and my Dad got divorced. Worst 4 months of my life til she got her new place! Amazed I didn't commit murder :mad:.

    Actually, that could have just been because it was my Mum :rotfl:.

    So a good day overall..but also some less good things..

    Wasn't too keen on going to work..but managed it and of course it was fine. Fast day is proving a bit harsh. Really fancy some fruit cake and cheese but of course its on the banned list until tomorrow :rotfl:

    I spoke too soon. Bathroom leak continues..waste pipe? A friend will come round asap..this week. Could do with it this eve if I am honest..feeling tad unwashed despite the washing in the sink..its just not the same!

    The elderflower cordial is an absolute hit. Its gorgeous the kids say (much better than shop bought..sorry b8ttlegreen :D) and I can smell how lush it is. Tempted to make more but seem to remember it has a short shelf life. The bacon is going darker so fingers crossed for that too. Quite a little cottage industry of food production we have.

    Given up a bit with the mortgage application. Guys at Habit7 are making it hard. But should investigate really as if we can pay less overall it has to be worth a look.

    Trying to finish a bag of soapnuts before I buy any more powder. If you also put in Vanish and some essential oil its not too bad, but still not as nice as detergent I'd say. I know some people swear by them but I am not convinced.

    No feedback on the room..makes me wonder if we should pay for an upgrade and get the ad noticed? Its a way down the list?

    Hope everyone is OK

    Just a thought.
    Do you have a local FB page that you could maybe advertise on?
