@flamingo22 I'd love a robot hoover but my dog would freak! She hates the hoover. It's her nemesis. 😂1

The garden office was put in today. Yay! 🎉 Can't use it yet as need insulating and electrics but I'm so happy.
It's also payday today. We had £160 left in the bank account due to MrM's big spend on my early birthday present and my friends has managed to get us Take That tickets so I need to pay her which means no overpayments this month. 😩
I also got paid £40 less and I'm not sure how. Something to do with the company shares I buy through my salary but can't really work it out. I need to sit down with my payslips and try and see how it's calculated.
I'm absolutely knackered. I've worked extra all this week and feeling rather brain dead tonight.

have you tried one of those electric airers we bought one off amazon with a cover, we found using our dryer constant with our clothes and new baby stuff was costing us a bomb.

Yaay for the new home office! 👏 When you finally move your desk out of your living room it will be transformed 😊

I do have one but keeping up with essentially four adults size clothes is impossible! I usually use the tumble for bedding and towels and occasionally to finish off washing that's not quite dry.Scott_Weiland79 said:have you tried one of those electric airers we bought one off amazon with a cover, we found using our dryer constant with our clothes and new baby stuff was costing us a bomb.0 -
Yesterday I had plans to build three items of ikea furniture that kept staring at me accusingly. I managed one. 😫
Today, 15yo has football but kickoff isn't until 12pm and we have to be there early plus the drive. Means the whole day gets eaten away.
We've also been booking in for college and 6th form open days for 15yo for next year.
The garden office is up and MrM had given it a good coat of protective oil. Now waiting for the electrics and insulation.

Does the garden office look good in its space?
