Hi Fortune, sorry to hear about Mr F but as you say you are in a good place which is good news.

Hairdressing charge is a bit naughty, plus the raffle ticket - £5 seems steep.

I'm sending over good luck wishes and as much positive energy as I can find :T

Tilly says it well! Plus one here on all of that, and *horrified* at a raffle ticket for £5!!!

Thanks Tilly. Apparently there was nothing to separate the candidates technically so they had to choose the one they thought would fit the culture best. Mr F already has a good job which he enjoys so we are absolutely fine.

I am fuming at the hairdressing cost. We had an agreement and, if he wanted to change that, he should have spoken to me first. It's not the first time it's happened - last time I challenged it but there was a lot of too-ing and fro-ing between the receptionist and my hairdresser and it made me feel really uncomfortable. Time to look for a new hairdresser I think.

Hi Karmacat. The raffle is for charity. It was mentioned whilst I was having my hair done and I thought I had been suitably unenthusiastic. We regularly give to charity but we like to choose which ones we give to. When it came to paying the subject was brought up again and pushed quite hard. There were a lot of people in the area and, although I'm not a shrinking violet, I was too embarrassed to refuse. Perhaps I was a little less resilient than usual after the events of the day. Anyway, its' done now - you never know I might win :rotfl:

Awww Fortune!! Big Hugs :grouphug: for you on your rotten day!
What a shame about mr F! And your hairdresser sounds to be taking the mickey! Like you say.... maybe it's time to find another! That is not on!
As for your lack of supper.... surely you have a parsnip or two left? Parsnip soup served with a toasted bit of parsnip bread with a parsnip puree topping? Giggle!! :rotfl:
I hope tomorrow is a better day for you!

Alarm engineer called today. Apparently there is nothing wrong with the system - they'd noticed that we were triggering the alarm in the morning (forgetting we had one) so they changed something centrally from the office so we had a bit of warning before it went off. Would have been good if they'd told us that! All I knew was that the alarm was making different noises from before. Not a wasted trip for him though as the sounder on the outside of the house wasn't lighting up and he sorted that out.


MS:

• Step class this morning
• curtain poles arrived. Did I forget to mention those I ordered a curtain pole for our guest bedroom and some curtain rods for the living room (40% off at Laura A$hl£y). The guest bedroom has a blackout blind but no curtains at the moment and looks a little bare. It's the last room in the house I need to buy curtains for. The living room curtains are very heavy and I'm worried about damaging them by pulling on the material. The rods should help. I've run a wax candle along the curtain poles as well to help the rings move more smoothly
• I'd also ordered some hair products which were delivered today. I've completed run out of my favourite brand. I did shop around but the best deal I could find was 4 free sample sizes and free delivery
• Mr F is back tonight. Sausages with Onion Gravy from the meal plan is on the menu for supper. I have some Parsnip & Leek Mash leftover and will use up a jar of caramelised onion chutney for the gravy.

Mr F has just called to say he's nearly home and a bottle of red is calling me from the wine rack Have a great weekend everybody!

Why am I watching Britain's Best Bakery? Am I not hungry enough? :rotfl:

Aww, have a lovely weekend with MrF! Beauty products, closed curtains, and a bottle of wine with OH about to turn up what could be nicer?

A few bright hours today meant I was able to do some more work on the portrait. It's nearly finished!

Today's MS:

• Spiced Parsnip Soup from the freezer for lunch. Made some Cheese & Potato Bread with Sage and Caramelised Onion to go with it. Sage was from the garden and I used some Onion Marmalade for the filling - yum!
• a home manicure
• it'll be Veg & Cheesy Rice Bake from the meal plan for supper tonight

We are debating going to the cinema this evening. It's Mr F's turn to choose the film and he wants to see The Railway Man. Sounds a bit traumatic for me. I prefer feel good escapism :rotfl:

Hope your weekend is going well
