    Wooohoooo I now have a clean kitchen window and window ledge. I’ve cleaned the hob, extractor fan and worktops. Dh is great but never thinks to move things to clean under or behind them, he wipes the hob but wouldn’t even think to clean the gas jets 😏😂 I’ve cleaned the cupboard under the sink and plan to do a cupboard a day as they aren’t too bad. It looks a lot brighter in there now. It wasn’t too bad but was bugging me. I’ll finish everything else tomorrow. I’d have done the whole room not long ago 🙄
    Not a penny has left my purse. 
    😂😂😂In a strop about people in London get their free bus passes at 60 and the rest of the country at pensionable age….I’ve written to our local mayor -  who is making a big thing about levelling up and reviewing a clean air act - asking why London is different to my home town. Don’t expect an answer but I felt better 😂😂😂

    You've put me to shame re the window!🤣. 

    Fingers crossed that your Mayor puts his town's money where his mouth is re the bus passes. I had to wait till 66 before I could apply for mine!

    😂😂take no notice Beanie……does me good to have a vent every now and again 😉
    I was going to sort the stuff from my wardrobes that I’ve dumped  in the spare room and take it to the charity shop, but a charity bag came through the door this morning. Good timing…..so I’ll put everything in that and leave it out on Friday 😀 saves me a trip 👍
    I want to tidy up everywhere today, it’s only surface stuff so if I shape myself I should get it done…..but only if I put my backside into gear. I will need to nip out for bread and milk as I didn’t move out yesterday.

  • I'm cross too about no state pension or free bus pass until I'm 67 as I'm 58 now so will have a long wait 😡.

    Well done on the  kitchen cleaning 👏. I hope it isn't too hot where you are.

    It's nice to meet up with friends and maybe they hadn't realised how much time had passed since they contacted you. I'm glad you enjoyed the evening 😊.

    Diet coke is full of caffeine so that probably didn't help you sleep. I try to avoid it and other caffeine after 6pm.
