I'm glad the washing machine man was good at socially distancing, it shows it can be done sometimes. It can't be done in schools though, that's for sure 😱.

Mine too - I have a largeish birch treeOnebrokelady said:I do love my trees but they don't half make a mess everywhere
Apparently the seeds were still turning up in DS1's socks months after he left!
Your oven chap sounds spot on - it's reassuring to know people are being careful like this. Hopefully the oven will be good for a long while now.
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)

Thanks Nicnak, I'm so relieved I didn't have to wait fro ages to get it done either 😊Nicnak said:Glad the oven was fixed and in a safe way too. XOriginal Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8942 -
That was really quick. My mum's freezer broke down on Friday, she couldn't get a new one until Monday by that point most of her food had gone off and it was full. It was a full length one she has in her garage as well so would have had a lot in there. My mum always has a full freezer it's really weird how she eats food, but it never seems to get empty. EVER!
That is my worst nightmare at the minute. That my freezer just packs up.

Your mum’s freezer sounds like mine nicnak 🤣
I’m forever picking up tree bits, we have a lot of trees in our garden including a very large silver birch. By the way I think my collared doves may actually be wood pigeons if they’re those huge fat things that look like ducks. I’m not trying to be fancy 🤣I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3 -
Yep,wood pigeons 😂😂Sun_Addict said:Your mum’s freezer sounds like mine nicnak 🤣

My fridge freezer is really old now and I'm worried it will pack up, thanks to the emergency fund I can afford to replace it but I'm hoping it lasts until it's easy to buy one again 😊Nicnak said:That was really quick.
