  • Nice suggestion @badmemory but I can't see why either. 
    It will start with the same letter as this one:

    Burn out centre and make new (6)

     _ _ E _ T _

    We keep thinking 'create' but can't quite get it to work

  • Won £225 on the PB! Thank you Ernie

    Big flat clean except kitchen

    20 minute walk getting olio jigsaw- 100 rather than 1000 piece in case simpler kindles my enthusiasm

    Shower and hairwash using the free products I need to review- I hope I put too much rinse-free conditioner in as I had to get undressed again and rinse my hair as there was so much product in it. My shoulders and back are not at all happy

    Doesn't seem like I've done much from that list but I've barely stopped since 8am! Still need to hang up laundry and prepare ziffit box for tomorrow as the essential things but am having a small beer and sit down break

    Mr PIP is at his folks and won't want food when he gets in so I'm having leftover cauliflower cheese from the freezer with a small baked potato from the freezer, if it defrosts enough to not be able to be used as a lethal weapon!

    Ooh must do comping as well, can't have all those prizes wherefore art thouing at me

    Hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday with general good vibes and preferably clean bedding, clean hair, warm grub and something nice to drink x

    Could the other word be crumble which is after all a sweet beginning with the first letter of choir.
  • Brilliant @badmemory rumble after C. Gold star for you!
  • So maybe they mean burn=cremate but out centre is take out m for create, make new.
    I'm putting it in! 
  • Laundry, ziffit box, dinner and comping done. Definitely not doing anything else this evening!

  • Cheers @beanielou and @KajiKita

    I have a bits and bobs shopping list that I've been hesitant to take money out of the normal budget for, a daft assortment like compost, fixing a handbag, and sun dried tomatoes 😂
    So I will just deal with that list and have it stop annoying me, then the rest to the next few things on the Christmas gifts list and the rest in flat pot
