@Merlin's_Beard I laughed a lot at your comment. We are due to
move in the next couple of years. I slammed the freezer lid extra hard to dislodge the ice earlier. Does that count?

Totally

You have all made me chuckle with the freezer defrosting comments 😊😂
And yes, Mr KK is a hero in many ways ❤️

He is definitely mine ! Never used a hairdryer in there before you mentioned he had 

@savingholmes I sold my extra ff  on FB earlier this year in 5 mins and it was picked up 2 days later 
fridge freezer tall one - I got £50 cash for it - all I asked 

Cool - I still need to take photos. There are at least 3 for sale locally in the £50-70 range so yes that sounds about right.

It’s been a day …..

Site manager getting shouty and cross with whole management team this morning about not turning up to a series of meetings that get dumped in our diaries without notice. He got quite a lot of push back, HR started talking about unrealistic pressures and resilience and finance manager commented about people being tired and how we are all working like crazy. Net result - on the day I was meant NOT to be working because of losing a Sunday to travelling to a meeting in Europe I will be joining a meeting, and requiring my engineer to join as well even though even he is properly on leave. I was raging and went for a stiff walk at lunchtime. At least it was sunny. 

Missed sending a piece of work to my other boss by close of play (deadline) and left open on my desktop to action first thing tomorrow…. As driving home, exhaust fell off my car. Again. This time the back section. Managed to get off the dual carriageway / throughway on a pavement and rang the AA. Again. The same engineer appeared as last time #mortified …. I owned it and greeted him cheerily, like an old friend … <cringe> Fortunately he could see that I HAD replaced the whole exhaust system and it was a poorly fitted bracket that had come undone. He bolted it all back up and sent me on my way 😊

In the 50 minutes whilst standing on the side of the road, in the maelstrom of thundering traffic, I rang Mr KK and asked him to put the towels in the new washing machine that didn’t get washed last weekend. I got home and found that he had put what seemed like every towel in the house in the machine for what appeared to be 300 hours!! 😳 Eventually I retrieved said towels and they are now drying …. I was frustrated after a mad day that he hadn’t thought about which towels were in use and which needed washing (they were segregated) and he got frustrated that I wasn’t appreciating his incredible efforts in being the first to use this ridiculously complex new piece of equipment that has lights and screens on the front of it!! 😳😂 (Mr KK has a natural preference for the analogue option …. 😉). I went out to the kitchen to cook food and screeched with frustration that I had nothing to dry my hands on - Mr KK appeared to defend me from animate mouse or meurine corpse and we ended up having a hug and laughing our heads off at each other. 

Finished the book that my English student chose (his dad is surprised by how he has suddenly taken to reading 😊) - it was ripping yarn with quite a few plot twists, managed to get a few surveys done on the side of the road as well as ringing the company that fitted the exhaust with a promise to visit them to ‘discuss’ it on Saturday morning….

I have clean sheets and am shattered now! 😉

It’s been a bit of a slog. Just one more day and then it’s the weekend ….

Just found £10.65 in my PP account 😊 (£1.44 from wiiR8 and £9.21 from the books I sold 🤩). Swept off to be an OP and topped up with a 45p TT 😊

Thanks @merlin’sbeard, @LadyWithAPlan - I did have a packet of crisps (for the first time in weeks and and as a result had disturbed sleep with a nightmare! 🙄). However, today is a new day and FRIDAY! I will make the most of it and I WILL finish ON TIME!! 😉😊

Left on time!! Gallons of work left undone, but tbh, so much that staying another hour wouldn’t have even scratched the surface! 🤷‍♀️

Collected two more paint samples on the way home and got my poor little car washed 😊

I believe, we have finally found the paint colour we want for the wall behind the fireplace ….
It’s the one on the left:
