Tradesmen were a NO SHOW after waiting at the door for four hours then calling them for 30 minutes. GRRRRRRRHHH

Oh how frustrating, things always sent to try us. I would use a lot of swear words if that was me, but then I can be uncouth  lol

Hope your weekend gets better, amazing result that you got the work in given that you had no desk etc. 

Thinking of you and sending you good vibes    hopefully tomorrow is a sunny day.

So sorry to hear about the tradesmen DIA after waiting for them so long - you must have been seething!🤬
re launderette chat - there is one near me - I don't use it but it's good to know that it's there if the washing machine breaks down. My friend has a tiny kitchen and decided to forego a washer and use the launderette - she's very happy with it. 

Ironing boards make quite handy desks in an emergency for working with a laptop.  It's quite useful because you can adjust it to the height you like.

So frustrating about the tradesperson, it's so rude

Thanks @Seasidegal58, I'm using my laptop on the ironing board. Thank you and gold star to you for the suggestion

Thanks @jwil, and yes it is rude!!! 

Thanks @moneyonmymindsam for your commiserations and lovely positive vibes

Today I have eaten both crisps and chips, like double-denim but with carbs, never a good thing in either case. Ah well.

I went to the favoured area. I saw 2 houses, both are perfectly ok but the area wasn't ideal. The time wasn't wasted as now I know not to look at roads near there.  I looked at another house where I wasn't sure as it was quite built up. I realised it backs on to a pub so I won't be viewing it. The search continues...

I purchased a change purse for too much money from a lovely independent shop. Hmmm....massive MSE fail...(although I do like it I have to confess)

Bought 2 beautiful Meakin cups and saucers (£2 each) the saucers are like watercolour paintings so pretty!! Yay for charity shops being open again.

So a bath and an early night for me as I did tons of walking and I am tired!

Hope you all had lots of sunshine too

Sounfs like a good , eventful day DIA 😼
Dont worry about crisps / chips . Life is for living after all . 
Good to see that you are finding areas that are not quite right , as you get to know all the good and not so good . You'll get there .

I'll leave it there ...🌞

If you love the purse then that's good

I see the purse as an investment in your future money management 

Glad you had a good day. Love the fact that you are really getting to know what you want and don't want without the pressure. 

Happy weekend DIA

You had a day out and change of scenery, got to rule out places which is a good thing and helps focus on what you do want.

Purse and crockery sound great, it's nice being able to buy the little touches.
