    Certainly a few positives to post this weekend 
    - inheritance is moving in the right direction 
    - we have a date for the kitchen delivery 
    - I’m walking a bit further with dh each time we go out
    - I’ve got a friend ready to paint the kitchen/diner
    - The table I’ve got my eye on is still available with click and collect

    😂😂 I’m so tempted to paint but there’s no way I could do it.....I‘ve been trying hard to stay awake all afternoon after my busy day yesterday. And friend would shout at me big time - he’s a professional and probably wouldn’t approve of my style - or lack of it 😂😂

    Step away from the paint tin 😀 I know what you mean though,I hate waiting for things to be done if I know I could possibly do it myself, good news on getting the kitchen organised ,it will be lovely when it's done 😊

    We’ve just been researching vinyl at various shops. I prefer to go to smaller shops but carpet right is open.......who knew floor coverings were essential items 🤔🤔 and the shops are open. Anyway we’re popping to look at some vinyl in the morning and will get whatever is in stock so the bathroom can move on.....he needs the vinyl before the toilet goes in situ. But only mentioned this on Friday 😏😏
