Thanks daisy_1571 DG is still not happy to come so she will probably stay at home. I am not thrilled either it is also in work time but I get to be part of the family so it is important to be there to support for a change.
The plan was to get up early and work before I have to leave to go to my sister but a stupid power cut had other ideas. The smoke detector went off and then it took 3 goes of it going off before I figured out it had a battery as well as mains. I recon it took at least an hour to get back to sleep and the power only came back on at 5am. Bits have come off the alarm but hopefully be able to put it back up with a new battery.
Posted on a site where you ask for people to do jobs for you and quoted £110 and £160 to fit the cat flap in the front door. The cheap one is from the guy who was here before to do the lights and he did not really do what I wanted so not having him back. I have also asked on the local FB group and one reply so far what a shame to cut a hole in such a nice door. Well yes but the others are glass doh.
Managed to get a Danish esim so can stop using my sisters phone. It is £6 a month so quite cheap. I also managed to get everything sorted to send the keys to the dealer. They are picking it up tomorrow.
Booked free golf lesson Dg is upset again about her golf lol. Also managed to set up the new printer so that was good. Do need a tip run for dead printer and all the grass. Still no curtains up I am getting really desperate now. Started taking the glue pads off the photo squares ready to go up in the bedroom so that will be nice when it goes up.
Got paid today but big £7K CC bill to pay for the move so that will be gone. Did dawn on me that I only have 2 more left now. I should be able to leave when I want to because I have 12 days leave left still but we shall see.
