Wow, you're smashing it @KajiKita. Re Chloe, you might try adjusting how you communicate. A herald in full regalia, blowing a golden trumpet and carrying the request (embossed and gilded) on a velvet cushion is the only acceptable method. Onwards and upwards love Humdinger xx3

Thanks @Merlin's_Beard 😊
Had a properly productive afternoon yesterday. Got various tiresome chores done in spite of the rain (I can hear it coming down like crazy outside now … 🙄) but then crashed with fatigue … Slept well but woken up with a dry cough and my windpipe and top of lungs that feel like they are on fire - every breath hurts! 🙄
Quiet, very quiet weekend methinks … 🤷♀️😊

In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!2 -
Thanks @ladybird1106, @Watty1.Back from an hour long queue to post two parcels and get our passports sent off. Good to have that done 😊 My parcel was my parents’ Christmas presents and Mr KK’s parcel was the mudguard he was meant to sent off about a month ago! 😳
Feeling very odd. Have taken some paracetamol with a cuppa and once I have wrestled the groceries delivery I think I will be going back to bed …
