Had a whole day of an external resource acting as an internal auditor across six different audits, plus a run through of our compliance with EN 1090 - my brain is overflowing! It’s been a productive day though and it was interesting to me to understand how much I have learned about the business already 😊Two lots of NW £100 turned up today. I have shuffled one off to savings to keep for a meal out for Mr KK and myself and the other has become an OP with a further 7p TT.
Mr KK is turning the house upside down like a happy whirlwind, as he is packing for his 10 day trip to France with his best mate 😉

Thank you, we got 2 x £50 earlier this year so I thought we would both get it.1

@CCW007, that’s exactly what we have. I have no idea why we would and you wouldn’t …? 🤷♀️
Thanks @LadyWithAPlan 😊

Ooof … it’s hot here. Very grateful to my previous self for getting in some pre-filled pasta that I have had with a cheese sauce, broad beans from the garden (they were in shade by 5pm today 😎) and precooked put lentils. Quick, easy, reasonably healthy and filling 😊

Taking advantage of the ridiculously hot weather to CLEAR Mr KK's floordrobe and conservatory stacked heap of winter weight hats, work shirts and gilets and wash the lot whilst he is away in France-land!
First load went in this morning and should be ready to go out on the line when I get home at lunchtime and then I can get the next load in.
Finally got to £5+ on my QM33 surveys (my arbitrary cashout limit) last night and sent £5.07 off to an OP
Chloe-Cat is missing Mr KK ... a lot ...

It’s getting busier in work now - I have reached saturation and told various people that I need no more new projects until we have knocked some over! Good though, I am enjoying it 😊Came home at lunchtime yesterday but it was too hot to do very much (did do three weeks worth 😳🙄😂 of financial transactions updates!), so I had a really chilled afternoon reading and crocheting, which meant I felt like I had been on a weekend by the evening yesterday, which was lovely.I have washing and food delivery to wrangle this morning. Going to pop out for a bit this morning and then hide out in the cool this afternoon. 😊
