Get a grip !

Thanks SW it was a mixed decision about the elephant in the room 😆 It was labelled as a “doorstop” and was quite big and heavy but eye catching. I have kept a photo of it on my phone so I can still look at it but I didn’t love it enough to keep it. The refund £12.99 has already paid for one meal out yesterday £6 (traditional breakfast and drink at wetherspoons) and may stretch to 2 meals out with friends instead. 

I am not having second thoughts about the shark 😆 I have had an email to say it’s been dispatched so it should be here in the next couple of days.

I will walk the dog later. Heating is off this morning as it’s milder. All food will be from stores.

Some of the charity shop prices are rediculous. I know they do buy in bulk and have donations, but if cost are putting people off, it's not good for them.

Meals out and at home are great.

Morning,

Just thought I would let you know I saw a Market research thing pop on my FB for people for research to earn 50 for a 60 min remote 121 interview.  For anyone who had recently purchased a hoover which might be worth a look... Could reduce the cost down further for you. Have a lovely day x

Thanks Lw2go unfortunately I’m not on FB otherwise I would have had a look. £50 is good but not sure what there is to say about a hoover for 60 minutes 😆 Unless of course they ask questions about other stuff too. The shark is coming between 1.30-2.30pm today 🤗 so I will have a play with it later. 

Its a lovely sunny autumn morning, have been out with the dog for an hour. It’s a cold wind so wore my hat & gloves, but warmer on the way back. Washing is just finishing & will be hung out to dry.

Don't think you need to be on fb, it was just an advert so maybe have a look on the website. Haha I know 60 mins is a while but you would be surprised at what they ask on these things and how they fill the time. Enjoy the shark!

I can talk about the film and book by Peter Benchley for hours, I love it, lol!!!!  

I love how you get such value for money meals Skinty. My friends go to the wrong places.

Hope it arrived safely and you've enjoyed the test run.

Yesterday afternoon turned into a bit of a disaster zone 

Dog threw up in the kitchen. Cleaned that up. 

Hoover arrived and all set up. It’s fab but has to be emptied more often as it’s smaller. Did the kitchen rug and landing then put the battery on to charge. 

Dog threw up on the landing carpet. 

Cleaned that up and dog shut in the kitchen. Sat with her & watched tv in the kitchen. Dog threw up again, on tiled floor so easier to clean. 

DS’s gf got back from shopping with more cleaning supplies. Then she went to put shopping bags back in her car and the front UPVC door lock broke ☹️ 

After a couple of hours & calls / photos to DF we managed to secure the door from outside but it cannot be opened from the inside. Thankfully we have a back door and rear alley.
Phoned company that fitted the door & left a message.
Dog threw up again ☹️

Since then she has been ok. Probably ate something she shouldn’t have on morning walk she is a greedy scavenger 🤢 

I got in contact with the boss and booked today off work. DS’s gf has work at 8am. She will have to go out the back. I will phone door company again at 9am & if no joy I will phone a locksmith I have found on check a trade. Hopefully it will be a better rate rather than a Sunday evening emergency call out. It’s the gears inside the door that have broken so part of the door needs to be replaced and realigned according to t’internet. Not a job I can do. Hope it doesn’t cost too much!

Hope PD is feeling less green now.
Fingers crossed your door gets fixed soon. 
Rest, knock a few small tasks off your list and drink tea!

Oh no poor puppy and you for having to clear up after her. I hope the door isnt expensive. Locksmiths are dear.
