    Does sound like a super busy day yesterday, hope the M+S shoes hold out. We are lucky to have a fairly local outlet village as there is no way I would be spending £30 a pair.

    Well done on the ebay sales.

    Was so cold here yesterday, was actually warmer outside than in! I absolutely refuse to put the heating on in August, at least September is usually quite nice though.
    June 2025 - part 1 - £19,145 part 2 - £21,973 Total - £41,118 29 months to go!

    Hi Habi and Earthie.

    back is worst on waking but not keeping me awake thank goodness.

    Goldie we are guaranteed flawless weather the first weekend in September.

    Newgirly we do have a big pantry. I try not to order too often but when I do...

    Thanks Cath. We had the fire lit last night!

    Not feeling too optimistic today but a quiet day of chores planned.

    Rain about to start. Think I will start on the bay window of doom that is still full of moderating forms from June!

    Some work done. Then crashed and burned when it took me an hour to register and top up a Sim card.

    At least the sun is out, however briefly.

    Oh dear I am beset by the Black Dog today.

    Still, a NSD and cleared a hotspot. Baby baby steps.
  • Hello,

    It is infuriating when you are on fire and tearing through the jobs, then get nobbled by technology. Well done on getting so much done.
