I have two beautiful very fine crystal champagne saucers I got in 1982. Only 2 left of the six but they are so beautiful.

Hi KK Sorry you are feeling up and down. You are not alone - and you are valuable regardless of whether you are currently in paid employment.

We don't need to redo the kitchen, but we do need to find something sensible to do with plastic tubs - they're in a corner cupboard with a rounded door and they just spring out in a giant jack in the box style booby trap 😂

Sounds like we are sharing the same cupboard...

Well done on the Mr KK gift giving
Glad you feeling better.

I must admit, getting up this morning and knowing that was done, was SUCH a relief! 😊

Thanks @LadyWithAPlan 😊

Today’s Big Adventure will be to help Mr KK with the big fridge swop over, wrangle Toscos and a tip run … Ooh, the glamour! Wish us luck … 😉

@KajiKita you are indeed valuable whether currently in a paid role or not; @savingholmes is as ever right.  The whole process is taking longer than ever before; I'm hearing this across the piece: new graduates to those well established.   You're doing brilliantly and making good use of a bonus period when you can sort things out.   Love Humdinger xx

Your experience is very reassuring - thanks for sharing that, I really appreciate it. 

I think Mr KK and I are both enjoying ‘sorting things out’ - after 5 years we have a far better appreciation of how we want to live here 😊

Fridge is in! 😊👏 Just giving it an hour or so for the gases to settle before we turn it on. I am such a non-housewife, that I am DELIGHTED by having an absolutely spotless fridge with no actual cleaning effort! 😉😂 Though I did have to give the unit frame underneath where the old fridge was sitting a very good scrub to clear the black mould from there … The seal is much better - you can hear it ‘sucking’ when you open the door, so hopefully it will be far more energy efficient. Done the 5 year parts warranty registration thingamee too and politely declined the offer of a monthly payment for further warranty 😉 In the midst of it all, I wrangled Toscos 😊💪

Now having a brew before Mr KK starts on the divider in the cupboard next to the fridge. I am then dragging Mr KK down to the chapel for the pre Christmas get-together - I’m sure that some people thinking I am imagining a husband! 😉😂
