I'm sorry about your cousin's daughter and about Mr SA's fall 😞.
Well done for having a big garden clear out. I wish I could persuade DH to do the same, I'd go to the tip myself if only I could drive. Your bedroom must be looking lovely now 🙂 . I need dark and silence to sleep well, so I envy you your ability to sleep in a bright aand nosy environmentFinally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

Morning, another beautiful sunny one ☀️This morning’s walk involved a trip to Mr T for some storage baskets to go on the wardrobe shelves. Just over 7,000 steps done too. Might order a few more bits online today.The flooring is being fitted tomorrow 🥳 Will be able to start moving things back in after that. I wanted to get an odd job man in to put up the curtain pole and TV bracket but Mr SA is insisting we can do it between us, so got that to look forward to, what could possibly go wrong 😱I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)8

My cousin has received the flowers and has thanked me 💐
Have been on the park with the dog, she was getting too hot running after her ball though. The garden screening has arrived, that was quick! Ordered a few more bits for the bedroom, not much more to get now, looking forward to putting it all together. Desperately need to get my summer clothes out, they’re buried under a ton of stuff in the spare room.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5 -
