Glad the electrician got you, fingers crossed for a prompt and reasonable quote.
I hope you'll at least get the baby outfit back to put on vinted when it's grown out of!

I think I have the same plant but the leaves are more purple than pink on mine.
No Pret where I live. I forgot how much I missed its bland comfort until you mentioned it...If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

The tradescantia I have has dark purple undersides to the leaves and the tops of the leaves are wide stripes in dark green and silver.

Bland comfort is exactly it, DIA. I do think their cakes etc are better than *$. But £5/6 for a sandwich?!?! I do like predictable though.
An issue I have now is that I am less plugged in to city life than I would have been. So I no longer get recommendations or spend time exploring to find new places. Yesterday I did photograph a couple of cafes that look promising for my next wandering day.
Ha I don't use Vinted PiP- sensory issues and a non conventional shape make clothes buying interesting. Also I am trying to do more things in real life- online shopping has lost its appeal since becoming a postie. Not that I have a blanket ban on it, just that I try to find things in shops first.
I didn't see any purple ones Cherry but it was a garden shop in a shopping centre so they don't have a huge selection. I think I will leave buying plants until last anyway, give me emotions time to recover.
I am opening my email with trepidation. If he doesn't quote then I'm back to square one. If he does and it's more than £1750 I can't do it.
So going to work will be a nice relaxing break 🤣🤣🤣3 -
Fuming. And now I'm eating my feelings with a takeaway.
A customer lied to my colleague and said they hadn't told me a safe place when they had. Rage.
I hate lies.
And yes possibly I should have eaten more today so that I am not hungry as well as over emotional.
I definitely need a job with a little more insulation against the world.

I managed to ahem order fish and chips without the chips. So dinner was fish and two pineapple fritters. Annoyingly for the same price as fish supper with fritters from my usual place 🤦♂️
Ah well I've saved myself carb overload and a night's indigestion.
The day was much improved by nephew 1 and his unbridled joy at some fireworks.
As it had been such an irritating day I put aside my concerns about fireworks and just enjoyed them. And my nephew. A definite highlight.
And then I stepped on a slug.0 -
Urrrghh! I hate slugs.0
