Progress not Perfection

Of course SA can put up the shelves but it sounds like Mr SA is on a mission.

Years ago, my mum knocked a nail in the wall of her kitchen to hang a picture. She realised later that she had no electricity so called the local electrician who couldn't work out why until he was in the kitchen drinking a cup of tea (luckily, mum had gas too). He spotted the picture & asked mum when she had put it there. Problem solved, she'd only hammered the nail through an electric cable! At least she lived to tell the tale. Tell Mr SA to be careful!

@kayannie, scary! It's a good job your mum was hospitable, otherwise who knows what the cost could have been in terms of safety and investigations!

My mum was so hospitable that I swore blind she'd be taking tea & cakes out to someone digging up the road outside her house!

It is what people used to do

It's a nice thing to do. I offer a cuppa to any workmen doing work for us, but I'm not organised enough to provide home baking! I've known the window cleaner for years so he and I sometimes stop to chat while he has his tea (white, no sugar).

Bit late in the day but happy Saturday 🥂

I’ve got loads done today hence the late post. We went to the big Mr T first thing then I made a start on cleaning and tidying the kitchen, dining room and living room. Finally sorted out the cupboard of doom in the dining room so I now have a clear shelf for stock up items. 

Sorted out the cupboard under the sink in the kitchen and gave the dishwasher a good clean. Descaled the coffee machine at the same time. 

Steam scrubbed all the downstairs floors and cleaned the rug.

Tomorrow it’s the turn of the upstairs rooms. 

Came across the receipt for the old washing machine and it was 15 years old! I didn’t realise it was that old. It did well having been used at least once a day and it was still working when I got rid, it just looked shabby. I love the new machine but only used the dryer function once so far. 

Was ready for a nice soak in the bath after all that lot! I’m pleased about getting so much done though.

Oh and the shelves haven’t been put up yet. That’s another job for tomorrow - I will be supervising and ensure a spirit level is used. They’re only little shelves so not too bad and no wires or pipes in the walls.

Make sure to do your spirit level training beforehand, who knows what disasters might occur with a woman using one

Maybe you could put up the shelves and then thank Mr. SA for doing such a good job of putting them up. Confuse him a bit or make him think he actually did it.
