Well hello there! I was indeed 12.6 this morning. Yay!Today I went off volunteering, lots of food given out to hungry people. Came home at 2pm and my darling man had made a Katsu curry and had kept a portion back for me.So what did we do? we uncoupled the toilet!!! I put the coupler (it joins the soil pipe into the back of the toilet) into a bucket with masses of bleach and a couple of kettles of boiling water, and gave it a bl00dy good scrubbing with a loo brush (wearing marigolds and gagging) and I cannot get the bl00dy thing clean to a standard I am happy with, so I have ordered a new one (£6.49) so it will all work. Bleached and scrubbed where the toilet will go back, and now I am just waiting for a text message to tell me when I can go and pick it up. In 48 hours it will all be over and another job done. But now I am wondering if I should just get some new clicky flooring and be done with it. Will do some research tonight. Might get a bargain. Who knows!Tonight I am going to make a chimney sheep. Cos that's the kind of girl I am!

You are a lady of many talents, that katsu curry was well deserved. If you don't do the flooring it will only bug you.
Well done on the weight too.Feb 2015 NSD Challenge 8/12JAN NSD 11/16

Are you sure you don't want to move in with me for a bit? I've got so much that needs doing and I don't have the skills (or the time TBH).8

I am only doing it because I am:a) bored out of my brain and everyone else in my house would be happy being a hermit in a cave (with wifi);b) hardly spending any money on food as I have figured out the ys times at the supermarket;c) the only person who is willing to start a job, although dh sometimes gets onboard once I start it;d) the person who has made a list so knows what jobs need doing, and knows which bits need buying to do them;e) the only person without homework, be it from school, or working from home.f) unwilling to disappear into a computer screen - I still read books make of trees.I figure that if I am home right now, and unable to escape. then I can at least make this place better than it was, before having to do the whole ' when are you bringing the kids to Ireland????' malarkey, that is going to start soon.I am in control of this.

The loo ls back where it is supposed to be. The silicone sealant is curing. By bedtime it should no longer be an issue.However, where the shower used to be, the wooden floorboards are like eggbox paper and we might need to replace a joist. See? One job gets knocked off the list just to be replaced by another one. I am going to find a buildery / plumbery type and get it sorted. CCL did you use a website for your bathroom?The laundry is on the line, it has been dry here today so far, big black clouds keep threatening but blowing over. My outdoor courgette plants seem to have been loving my total neglect over the past wet week. Good for them! My indoor chilli plants are flowering, so I gave dh a tiny paintbrush and told him to get 'inappropriate' with them. Hopefully they are now pollinated and soon I may see some chillies starting to grow. I have been tipped off I might be getting a B&Q voucher for my birthday so I am holding off potting anything on, and will buy the compost and pots with the voucher.Her0n was still full of the Swedish Glace ice cream tubs for 89p, so got the chocolate with berry swirl and the cinnamon with toffee pieces. 5 of each. The kids will demolish them. So I went to the Polar shop and used up £9 of survey giftcards on veggie burgers and vegetable fingers, and sausage rolls. Then I remembered I still needed 4litres of soya milk and 2 cukes and tomatoes to do me until Monday's shopping trip. So I am over budget this week (due to plumbing part) by £5.10. I do not think I have read a whole book this week at all. I left my characters hiding in an underground bunker....My favorite frock is now too big. The straps keep falling down and it looks baggy. It will do for floating about the house in, but it may embarrass me if I wear it outside!4/10/22One Year Mortgage Free Yay!

Urgh, the push button on the loo broke. The plastic housing just broke the second time it was pushed. £26 later (!!!!) a new one should arrive on Monday.

I have just earned £6 in survey cash from PA. Should be in my bank account by this evening. So I will start the week on budget.Coffee and politics are planned for this morning. Bath and hair, and painting toenails.Finished a book last night, will start the next one this afternoon.Today is Filo Day!!! I am making (ys 30p filo) Spanakopita and with the leftover fabric, will make maple date and pecan parcels. and a nectarine and peach crumble as well, as they need eating, which should leave me with a fruitbowl containing 30 satsumas and 2 bananas. 2 enormous heads of broccoli need eating from the fridge, so a broccoli in garlic sauce stirfry for lunch. See. I have a plan. Happy Sunday!4/10/22One Year Mortgage Free Yay!

When our fruit bowl gets as low as that my ds starts quizzing me about when I'm next buying fresh f&v, that little he might be able to eke out to last 2 days.
He is trying really hard over lockdown to accept I am going shopping no more than once a week. He eats most fruit, vegetables and salad just in huge quantities.

Wow, that's a lot of satsumas!
How annoying about the loo, is it the one you just fixed? There's always something isn't there.
Well done on the dress, could you take it in so it fits again?
I am working my way through some books too nearly finished one i unearthed in the sideboard. It's a bit odd as its written by a Danish author and translated so lots of unfamiliar places / names and not quite the usual English flow you would get from a first language writing.Feb 2015 NSD Challenge 8/12JAN NSD 11/16
