    Ah that's lovely, plant cuttings are little ways of spreading joy 😊 

    Well done for going into uber-professional mode, it was needed and you did it.
    As the young people say, 'f*ck around, get found out'.

    I'm sure your friend will cope if you tell them things have been super busy but you are on it, just not for this weekend

    Thanks @PennysIntoPounds, I will be able to give her one, maybe two of the squares she asked for and a promissory note for the third! 😂😉

    I have had THE most indulgent evening in a VERY long time …

    Bung in the oven lasagne, with green beans (Mr KK moans) and a whole garlic flatbread to myself with extra Parmesan and salt, followed by three back to back episodes of R1ot Women on iPlayer. 
    Absolutely flicking brilliant. 
    Great writing, acting, cast, sound track, grounded setting, and gathering up of all the rage and energy of being the wrong side of 50 and not giving the f***s we used to! Glorious …

    oooh i keep seeing that advertised and need to watch it.

    I think sometimes you just have to do these things and I'm sure that your colleague knows that, or if they don't they need to learn it.
