Today has been a really really crapola day.
I have fallen a record five times.
That's nine times this week.

Oh Beanie, that's not so good. Are you getting to the shops? Do you need anything? I'm going to be up your way tomorrow. Wouldn't mind dropping something in to you if you're stuck. I'm sure you have people and help but I'd hate to think you're stuck in and no one is available.Mortgage at 12/07/2022 = £175,000
Mortgage at 31/03/2026 = £154,976.87

I am finally getting a new fridge freezer next week so I have been eating stuff from that.
I do wonder why I ever bought some of the things lurking near the bottom!
I am praying it does not blow up before next Wednesday!
It is now so loud it wakes me up at night!

It is now so loud it wakes me up at night!I know what you mean, but at least when it's my own freezer that's so much better than shared houses. There always seemed to be a bag of peas and an anonymous plastic bag that everyone assumed belonged to someone else and could have been there since the dinosaurs.Boo to falling, and I also agree time outside does wonders. Hope the new fridge freezer arrives ok and without incident from the old one!

It is now so loud it wakes me up at night!Why do I always think that I'll remember what I cooked and froze when I didn't label it? 🤷♀️Mortgage at 12/07/2022 = £175,000
