Fingers crossed he does quote.
I wonder who if did belong to. I don't often have cash but have found the odd bit in my purse that I had forgotten how it got there.
I keep forgetting it's bank holiday Monday. They don't often give me a day off so I forget when they are.

You can do anything if you put your mind to it. x2 -
£5 is a good price for a clear conscience! And one of those old ladies might go back in shamefaced because they need it and you will have done A Good Deed. Great to have found some wishlist books for 50p each so call it evens 😁3

Anyway the plumber came and checked the bathroom. As he (and I) suspected there’s a leak under the bath and the floorboards are rotting. It will mean him temporarily removing the vanity unit and bath to get to it but will prevent the bath crashing through the ceiling in the near future 😱 He’s going to send me the price within a couple of days and can do the work next week if I’m happy with it. The water has been getting in from the shower where the seal has deteriorated round the bath.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6

Hope you get a good price."If you can dream it, you can do it". Walt Disney1

Eek to the rotting floor boards, hope the quote from the plumber is reasonable and it gets sorted quickly.1

Happy Friday everyone 🥳 Not at work today as it’s my birthday 🥂 I never work on my birthday.
Bit stuck about what to do today as it’s so windy! I would’ve liked to have gone out but the weather isn’t great. This time last year we went to the garden centre and sat outside eating lunch at a pub on the way back and it was hot and sunny. Don’t think I’ll be doing that this year 🙁We are definitely going out for a meal tonight though, only to the local pub. I refuse to cook or clear up pots on my birthday.DD has bought me The Green Cookbook by Rukmini Iyer and a bottle of Prosecco. Nothing yet from DS, I’m assuming that’s coming tomorrow when he visits. Nothing from Mr SA as I need some new trainers and want to get them when I’m off next Friday and have time to wander round the shops without him in tow. Unless I see some online that is.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6 -
