    I had the invoice for the canopy before they started work but didn't pay it until I was happy with the work 🤣🤣.

    Good morning and happy Saturday 🌟☕️ I’m not even up yet, just warming a small cat under my knees, goodness knows why he wants to cook under the quilt today, but there he is! 
    Today I plan to tackle the wardrobe so I’ll have a few more bin bags full by the end of the day. We’ve had a bit of a moth problem for a couple of years in summer and I keep finding new places they were hatching. I’ve never had it in any other house, but this house is older, can be damp and is in the country which I guess hasn't helped. I have been scrubbing and lining all the drawers as I go, hot washing anything to keep and throwing all the old, badly fitting items and have hopefully eradicated any moth babies…shudder. I found a few hatched casings attached to old clothes. I haven’t seen any since I did the drawers, but have still caught a couple on the window stickers, so I’m hoping the wardrobe is the final moth frontier 😅 If not, I can only think to drag out the divan bed and all the heavy things that don’t move well and check behind and underneath. 
    If anyone like’s Malteser bunnies there is a really good deal for orange ones on prime…45% off, so 10.99 for a box. We’ve had them before, so I snapped a box up as they are a favourite of MrWW’s. Definitely a bargain.
    I hope you all have a fabulous day ☕️🌟☔️

  • My daughter had a moth problem and they were under the bed so may well be worth checking

    Definitely worth checking under the bed for moth babies.

    Thanks. It’s a super king divan so quite heavy. I’ll drag MrWW into the hunt tomorrow. He’s working tonight so I can’t toss him out of it just now 😅 I did go through the wardrobe and was delighted to find no moth evidence in there at all. I managed to fill 3 large bin bags with charity shop and tip items. It looks much better and I got a lot of steps in so it was a good day for getting things done. 
    I hope you are all enjoying your weekends ☕️🍩
