I do have the full amount & frankly I am grateful to normally win £200, sometimes less but often a little more. I do not complain as £200 is actually 4.8%. Yes I am anal enough to record that every month. I would love to win enough to move to a place with larger rooms. Actually I would really like room for a small gym which I could bully DS into using as I doubt he does 2000 steps a days at present.4

Maybe a very long, thin house @badmemory with DS's room a long way from the kitchen/living room/bathroom. Or just put him in a shed at the end of the garden?

Don't tempt me. The problem with the shed at the bottom of the garden would be actually getting him to leave the house to go as far as the shed.4 -

Oh I remember that! 😂😉😊badmemory said:I would like a chair next to that. Mottled red legs of my youth here we come!
I’ll move the fire irons across and settle you on the LHS so you can still see the TV, with a blanket over the chair to keep any draft off your legs and back 😊
I’ve had a busy and productive day 😊
- 6 portions of bolognese in the freezer 😊
- Bathroom and loo cleaned and kitchen floor swept
- Got the litter tray cleaned, the indoor bins emptied and the firewood brought in before the rain came again
- Mr KK’s washing and the towels all processed, folded and put away
- All financials updated - the trip ‘up north’ wasn’t free but the damage wasn’t as bad as I feared.
- Listed the half round bricks and the garden bench we don’t want any more on FBMP
Had an early shower so am already clean. Just need to sort my breakfast and lunch for tomorrow and then I can do a bit of crochet 😊
