Cheery's country living adventure

Nope - my friend kind of did in that we both bought them on the same day around 30 years ago when we bought our first properties - and then she never really used hers - so she's given it me 😊 The handles are now differently shaped, too, due to wear. I was surprised at the difference in the actual granite, though - and the weight difference as a result is quite significant!I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soulRepaid mtge early (orig 11/25) 01/09 £124616 01/11 £89873 01/13 £52546 01/15 £12133 07/15 £NILNet sales 2024: £207

@greent - just think of the minerals it has contributed to your diet
@Cheery_Daff - builders always end up costing more than planned as things can never be done on the basis that they have quoted. At one point I felt like asking my HR dept to just divert my salary to the builder!

Thanks all!
Today has been quite a long one 🙄 OK, but long. Had the whole day in the office, and a difficult and most vexing meeting with a student, the outcome of which has been me agreeing to something that gives them a chance they don't deserve and makes things slightly more inconvenient for me 🙄 hey ho, should be over soon.
Don't think the builders have done anything nefarious today, althoughmain geezer did ring to go through the massive email I sent last night. Apparently plasterer is going to do someone else's job for the later half of this week - not sure why but there we are. At least a couple of days peace.
The little niggling things I referred to have been sorted out though so that's good.
Right, best get some tea, the world is seeming quite bleak and will be better with food!9 -
Well, I was right - I DO feel better after food 😂 especially as some of it was a heavily reduced stir fry pack we picked up earlier.
My poor friend though is having a rotten time. We had lunch with them yesterday, and she said she'd been feeling a bit rough - she's now in hospital waiting to have her gallbladder removed! 😮9 -
Oh dear - hope your friend recovers soon!I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soulRepaid mtge early (orig 11/25) 01/09 £124616 01/11 £89873 01/13 £52546 01/15 £12133 07/15 £NILNet sales 2024: £205
