Maybe you're right - especially as I was intending to be in the cafe when it opened at 9.30 (having already put the washing on and done a workout) but in fact I've only just woken up 😂2

😂😂😂 I wouldn't feel that virtuous about getting up before me, I regularly fail to get out of bed before 9am on a work day 🙄😂themadvix said:Another congratulations on the interview from me Cheery - that's excellent news!

Cheery - I'm with you on the sleep bit - didn't get out of bed until 9 this morning & decided that Café Chez Nous was good enough! OH is a lovely and does all things chefie on mornings such as these 😁 I have been sitting at the table in a sun-patch contemplating having a shower before noon, but happier whiling away the morning on the laptop!
Vix - being up is an achievement, let alone having a load of laundry in 🤣
Cheery - you were kidding about a workout before 9, weren't you?4 YEARS 10 MONTHS DEBT FREE!!!

A workout before 9am does happen occasionally, but I confess it's usually more of an ambition than a reality 😂😂
Booked an eyetest with Specsavers this morning. Got to what I THOUGHT was specsavers, only to realise it's actually Boots 😂 Have now found the right place, but I'm quite discombobulated 😂3 -
I'm much more of a lark than an owl though - I'm usually fast asleep when Cheery is posting last thing at night!
Cheery, I've done that - we had two branches of Boots Opticians for a while in town when they took over D&A. I booked, assuming it was the branch I'd always been to and they gave me blank looks when I turned up. Had to apologise for being late when I finally made it to the right one!Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days

Congratulations on the interview Cheery. And that list looks exhausting.
i have decided to tidy my craft desk and it’s at the stage where I could just give up and abandon it!! Coffee time before I start again to at least get all the Christmas card stuff out of the way now they are posted for this year.
