Another disturbed night’s sleep - bluebottles in my room this time …! 🙄😂 And then I woke at 5am for no obvious reason 🤷♀️
I have optimistically put a washing load on the whirly 🤞
Watered the greenhouse 😊🌱 Everything I planted in there and outside in the bed next to it, all looks well 😊
Do you remember the fun and games I had with a sainsbugs delivery a while back, when their truck broke down and I had to go to the store to collect the shop, but the truck hadn’t arrived etc etc …? This morning is my next delivery from them and today, they have a burst tyre and don’t know when they will reach us. Mr KK will have to deal with that on his own for once! 😉
Time now to put some washing away, draw my face on, fill my water bottle and head off on my day out 😊

Hope you have a wonderful day outMade it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!1 -

Will you be chasing Sainsbury's for the inconvenience or is it not worth it? Back in my student days they were always good for a moan, the average settlement was £15 of vouchers, enough for a good dinner and a pack of beers for student me

Not sure how long in the past your student days are @edinburgher but I'm not sure they've increased the amount since. I recently complained when a bag of dried fruit in my home delivery proved to also contain a lump of plastic and received a £15 voucher for the inconvenience.edinburgher said:Will you be chasing Sainsbury's for the inconvenience or is it not worth it?
