    I'm fourth/fith/sixthing (lost count now!) the timers... and I need one today, even if I ignore it after I make a start - seem to have a mental block about gardening at the moment!

    Grr to the Asda delivery, how annoying!

    Excellent that you're joining in :rotfl: :j

    Just had *another* email from them - they now have some of my gluten free pasta, but no soy desserts, none of the dessic. coconut they've got on offer (!) and no Alpro single cream replacement. More grrrr.

    OTOH, my brother was finally in when I rang, and we had a happy chat about gardening :)

    SB availability of meaningful points seems to have disappeared - I'm quite glad, really, it's that that'll need to give way for matched betting.

    All good.

    I use timers too. :D In fact I have one one now to remind me to check on my food in the oven! Might try the timer tasks out of a hat thing tomorrow as I've got way too many unenjoyble houseworky tasks to do that I have been avoiding all week. :o Maybe interpersed with Poldark as a reward some might get done! :p :rotfl:

    Right time for tea...
    Mortgage free as of 12/08/20!

    Oh thats right! I use my phone timer if I leave the kitchen when I've something on the hob, otherwise I can guarantee it will burn :) that's why I love my halogen oven so much, it counts backward, it will never stay on too long :)

    Delivery has come, bit of garden work done (30 mins this time). I'll have to get to the brambles tomorrow, some of them really look like they're ready to take root again. And I need photos of all the fence work for Friday, I have a potential fencing guy that can do stuff.

    Nice evening/ nice sleep all xxx

    Sounds good to me, beanie :rotfl: I'm still in my armchair, but at least I've written and sent the email to the Norfolk rellies, I really owed it. Now to get the dishwasher to do its thing :)

    Another timer fan here. Some days its the only way anything can get done!
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
