Morning, happy Saturday 🥂☀️😎
Didn’t wake up until 6am today, sun was streaming through the window, looks like a beautiful day ahead. Will be quite spendy as I need a few toiletry bits then going to take the mirror back this afternoon and will probably pick a few other bits up.Hoping to get a few more things out of storage and back into the bedroom. I keep doing it a bit at a time so it’s not too daunting. So much stuff 😱
I gave my Ninja oven a good clean yesterday and when I switched it on last night it blew the electrics. I’m hoping it’s because it was still a little damp and that I haven’t wrecked it completely. I’m thinking about finally getting round to replacing the faulty big oven soon. The Ninja oven is handy for DD when she gets home from work but it’s not as good as my Ninja 9 in 1. Fingers crossed it works today. Although it’s still under guarantee I’ve invalidated it by using abrasive cleaning stuff on it.
Hope everyone has got the sunshine and has a fabulous Saturday ☀️I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5 -
Damn hope the oven works I think you’re right I would definitely replace the big oven looking forward to seeing the bedroom finished I’m with you on to much stuff3

Mr SA has taken down the wonky bracket of the curtain pole and filled the hole with dark grey plaster repair stuff which looks a terrible mess and it’s all over the new floor too. I had no idea he was doing this or I’d have stopped him. I could throttle him 🤬 He’s like a bull in a china shop.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4

Oh no I am screaming for you after all your planning and hard work chop his bl**dy hands off 😂4

Oh no! to both the ninja blowing the fuses and the dark grey plaster.
I hope both resolve and become a tiny memory.
Have a better rest-of-the-day.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
The sun's been out and I think I’m solar powered (Onebrokelady)
