Baby steps to mortgage freedom for beanielou.

In other MSE news council tax bill arrived today.
Our council have credited our council tax bills with the £150 which w2orks well for me.

In other news shoes are a no go.
They seem to be reinforced in some way at the toe & are way too hard for me 
Not sure how I am going to manhandle the huge parcel to the PO.

Ooh, you've reminded me beanie, my council tax bill arrived today - I confess, I made sure what it was, and then didn't open it any further.  It'd be good to check that £150 tho!

Sorry about the shoes - I've bought shoes online once, and though they were the right size and comfy etc, there was stitching around the top of the sides that was a little bit too tightly drawn, and it was agony, it was like somebody had sliced my foot.  How awkward about the big parcel though!  Do you have a shopping trolley?  Sometimes when I have awkward things I take the bag off and tie the thing to the trolley base with a bungee cord

Pleased your mum has been and you’re feeling a bit better. Bet Miss Summer has been enjoying extra cuddles.
Rubbish about the shoes…..it’s so hard getting comfortable supportive shoes 😞

No.I dont have a shopping trolly

In other earth shattering news I have just hand washed some bits & bobs I  would normally have chucked in the washing machine.
In some ways I think some of us will be going back to older ways.

I definitely think folk will revert back too……my pet hate is hanging washing out but I’ll probably go back to doing it. I’m lazy and use my drier the  I don’t need to iron it. That’s my excuse anyway.

Ours goes in the dryer for about ten minutes then goes on hangers - it's just enough time for it to get warm and the creases fall out. I've got a rail for hangers in my boiler cupboard.

I'm washing everything on cold wash now except sheets and towels. Here the water is hard so it needs a hot wash every few to stop the soap-scum and limescale building up

Glad you are feeling better.

Shame about the shoes.  I feel your pain.  Is there not a collection option for the parcel at all?
