    I had hard flooring put down on my landing and just carpeted the staircase due to a pucky cat, it's so easy to keep clean

    Morning, happy June 😎

    For one week only Wednesday is the new Friday 😁

    Hallelujah my Mr M order was delivered this morning, no missing items or subs. Cancelled the order I'd provisionally put in for tomorrow just in case my card rejected this payment.  There is no room in either of my freezers for anything else whatsoever. 

    Making a mushroom and pepper risotto for tonight's dinner to use up leftovers from last week. 

    Exercise will be dog walking at lunchtime and a live FitSteps class at 6pm.

    Exceeded my May NSDs at 11/10 unintentionally. Have set 12 for June. June is going to be another spendy month. I've got the hairdressers on Friday, the painter to pay next week, paint to buy plus lots of other bits and bobs needed to finish off the living room. Mr SA needs a new chair but I've managed to source one at a reasonable price. Oh and the Zante holiday balance to pay. I can see the ££££s flying out of the window!

    Hopefully it will be warmer today than yesterday, I was so cold! Got some washing to peg out and I need to give the bathroom a good clean. 

    But first work beckons...

    Happy June. It has been weirdly cold, but the sun is shining here today.
    I’m glad your shopping worked today…I do love a full freezer!

    Gorgeous rose XX 

    How is the living room? I must have missed something and I can't get the pages to load.

    What a gorgeous rose! I'm not convinced it's meant to be wild, the form of the flower and leaves is perhaps a hybrid tea rose. To me it looks a lot like this one, but I can't be at all sure they are the same.

    I don't think the vendor is aware it's known as 'Jaws' :D .
