Whoever was asking about the Coop scandal, it was the Crystal Methodist is 2018

Well remembered greenbee! 🙄😂

Uneventful evening here. Finished work at 6, made a curry with boiled eggs - enough for work tomorrow and a bit for tea as part of a platter. Mr Cheery started moving clothes into new bedroom - a landmark moment! Pegged some washing out, then brought it back in and hung it upstairs - reminding myself that the airer only has 3 legs and really does need to be replaced before the winter...

Cleaned the chickens out, and had a quick trip to the supermarket for weekend supplies, although apparently we'll need to go again 🙄 Mr Cheery might be doing that trip on his own 🙄

Rhubard jam is more of a kind of toffee than jam 😂 definitely keeping it though, reckon it'll be lovely on a hot crumpet 😁

Get that new airer girl!

Ha - I've been looking! Not yet found the right mix of cheap and sturdy to bother, since mostly I just wait til the weather's nice at the minute anyway, and this one is functional as long as it's propped on the basket (and as long as you remember not to move the basket...) 😂😂

Office for me today. I managed to get a parking permit, but Mr Cheery has decided he's coming with me anyway. I need to stop being annoyed by that - it's not him coming with me that I mind, it's faffing about to get a permit when it turns out later to have been unnecessary!

Ha - Mr Cheery has now decided NOT to come with me, so I can use my permit after all! Good job I didn't cancel  it so someone else could have it 😂😂

Oh, and £4.42 on the Happy Wheel this morning, so total is £199 for June (the tracker rounds to whole pounds). Still a couple of things I can do later if I get chance. Need to leave now though!

Now THAT is an annoying Happy wheel balance isn't it! Hopefully you can get it rounded off to start with a 2 at least! (and no plummeting!)

Very annoying! Up to £202 now, although that will change tomorrow. Hopefully upwards! 

Alright day today, had a meeting in the pub 😁 then to an interesting public lecture. Home late, had tea from the freezer which was great. Must replenish a bit soon. 

Had a reply from energy folk confirming we don't have space for a smart meter, hey ho. Must give meter reading tomorrow.

Ordered nephew's birthday present early enough for free shipping (but not early enough to get it sent here first so have paid for gift wrap).

Nowt else to report. Got an event tomorrow, same city as the office but different location. Should get lunch though...

Nodding off, best post this before I fall asleeeeeeeeeeee,zzzzzzzzzzzz

That's useful to know edwink, thank you. This is the picture I've sent them - they replied to say thank you but are obviously still scratching their chins about whether it will work... 🙄😂

I was wondering why you could not put a piece of fireproof board on the right hand wall below what looks like a window, to accommodate the smart meter (sort of bottom right and a bit lower down)? A bit of wire moving but nothing too complicated
