Fingers crossed this second choice book is a bit more  suitable than the first!

Loads better 😊 I’d read to page 100 today without even realising! My student, who claims he doesn’t read, had got to page 32 which was pretty good going and was looking forward to reading more this week for his homework 😊. He had an indignant strop about the pronunciation of ‘lieutenant’ - to be fair I remember being utterly disbelieving when I first learned that. I apologised on behalf of English! 😉😂😂😂😂

Hope the raffle prize is a good one. 

Ta da! 🎉🤩🥳

Much of it is stuff I wouldn’t consider eating / consuming (wine, white chocolate) but some of it can be regifted or Mr KK will enjoy it 😊 I am eyeing up the gingerbread, shortbread and the pudding! 😉 The gingerbread house time is a wind up musical one 🎶 😊❤️

In other news, our washing machine is U/S - I believe it to be the brushes. After watching various videos and getting Mr KK to help me with some of the electrical connectors (so stiff!) we have got it out of the machine and I will order some new ones tonight. Mr KK’s dirty clothes have a date with our next door neighbour’s washing machine tomorrow morning! 😉

Mr KK has done all the plasterboard lining of the new window reveals and put on the windowsills today and foamed around both new windows. We are celebrating with a Chinese takeaway 😊❤️🎉🤩 They have changed the room so much 😊

I quite like gifts and wins of stuff I just wouldn't buy. Hope you enjoy the bits you do like (she says eating really rather odd gifted fortnum and masons caramels)

In terms of mess, very nearly …. Just a channel to cut out for a cable down from the ceiling to a new wall light. I want Mr KK to get that done so the mess is over with and there will be some point in starting cleaning (please!) but he’s dragging his feet on it  … 😢 There is still a LOT of making good to do - plastering, painting, putting up new curtain tracks etc etc.

I don’t drink alcohol and Mr KK only drinks red wine. White chocolate is too sweet for me now after years of eating nothing but dark chocolate. It literally makes my teeth ‘itch’, eating something that sweet. 😊

A good start to the day: sent another £5 to OP from doing Pr1me surveys 😊

Floof is on the bed with us, rotating between having a licky-clean and being spark out, wheezing, with no apparent logic or trigger for switching between states 😉❤️

We are skipping the tip run this morning. I need to negotiate getting washing done at the neighbours’, we had no time to load vehicles yesterday and we are both shattered.

Loving the raffle prize! Also
like the randomness of a prize. 

I love white choc but it doesn’t love me  
could you maybe cook with it or grate over a dessert ice cream etc 

the windows and new room sound fabulous / but I understand the dust and general where  is that thing that normally lives where our windows used to be type chaos - it will soon be worth it
