Good for you telling Mr SA he broke it so he needs to fix it. Do check he's done it properly before using though!
Wasn't Rod's set good. No excuse for the rest of us if Rod is 80 and Lulu is 76!2 -

Finished work at 2 then came home. The air con made me so cold I had goose bumps and it started to get unbearable, it was like working inside a fridge. When I stepped outside it felt like walking into an oven by contrast.Sat outside reading for an hour then did a bit of garden tidying. I hate being indoors when it’s hot.Changed and washed the bedding and put it on the line to save a job in the morning.Did the energy saving hour as did the cooking and washing before it started.The garden waste bin is being collected tomorrow according to the text. It’s the normal collection date. Hopefully they won’t miss our road off this time!As expected the dog’s insurance has gone up but only by £2 a month so will stay with them. I can’t imagine I’d get a better price elsewhere. Not that you can claim for anything though!Spent £2.73 in Lid! so I’ve hit the target for the free cleaning item on the final day 🥳
Although I didn’t particularly feel like doing the weights class I did it and really enjoyed it. Also listened in to 2 food inspiration/recipe ideas workshops while I was cooking/cleaning and jotted down a few new recipe ideas.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5 -
Forgot to add - in gardening news I have my first two blueberries. I won’t eat them all at once 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7

I enjoyed Rod Stewart and guests too. I'd much rather watch it at home than try to find my tent in the dark and queue for the loos.1

Caught up with your diary just three hundred others to catch up on 😀How nice to be able to meet your Scottish colleague, I hope you had fun. Dont you go eating all those blue berries at once 😀I had a blue berry bush when I got my first lot of chickens and I forgot to cover it up one day while they were out in the garden and they stripped it bare in about ten minutes 😩they even ate the leaves and it died shortly afterOriginal Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,510 Owed = £11,1203
