    Good to hear from you OBL. I’m not sure about the new look forum….I’m getting used to it now but I still prefer the old one.

    Good to hear from you OBL. :) 

    I think the Forum is a bit like Dr Who. Every few years it comes up looking different and everyone discusses the pros and cons for a while and some stop watching, but underneath it's the same as ever...

    My memory is so bad I can't actually remember what the old one looked like. I'm not sure I like this but I will get used to it 😊

    Oh it seems I can use it in profile instead of landscape on my iPad which I couldn't do before 😊

    I'm having a day at home today because I had to wait in for some delivery's and a washing machine repair man. The washing machine behaved impeccably while he was here and it was empty but it's not working properly now I've put some washing in it. He asked me test it because it's either the heater or a balance issue 🤷‍♀️ I now have soaking wet washing to deal with. I'm hoping I can get it to spin at least.

    Ive taken the opportunity to clean my oven while I've been at home so that's a hated job done. I'm now debating whether to cut the grass 🤷‍♀️

    I’m impressed it’s dry enough for you to think about cutting the grass……it’s chucked it down all day here ☔️
    Hope you get the washing machine to spin 😳

    I got the grass cut but it rained just after I finished so I'm glad I got it done because it's been miserable ever since 😟
