    You've nudged me into changing my bedding. My excuse is I've only just had a functioning washing machine!
    I hope you bought some fizz for yourself too at that price  :)

    Happy Saturday to you and your pet mouse 🥂

    You do really well with the bargain wine in Aldi. Whenever I go there they’ve run out. They used to do a gorgeous rose for around £5.99 and the bottle had a beautiful summery label but they don’t seem to do that one now 😕

    Happy fresh bedding @doingitanyway, and I'm glad you no longer have a manky washing machine. It is miserable making the effort to achieve basic care for self and home and having it thrust back in your face worse than before.
    I am very much not enjoying not having a functioning fridgefreezer and hope it will be resolved asap!

    Don't encourage it @Sun_Addict 😂 I'm already feeling a bit bad it didn't like our peanut butter 🤣
    Tentatively hoping it's gone, is it even possible to get rid of a mouse because they've flounced off muttering about how they won't be dining at this establishment again

    We've not had a mouse problem for a long long time, but when we did, I found they were partial to a bit of home made cake. Unfortunately, it's so long ago that I can't remember which cake it was!

    I hope you didn't bake for them especially @kayannie 😁

    Happy Sunday all, and happy mothers day to those who celebrate. As ever I find myself baffled by the clocks changing. What time is it actually? Why do I feel jetlagged? Will I learn to change the oven clock in the next six months? (no)

    Have done the usuals, before I go to spend time with mum, I want to get more bits off the Outstanding Annoying Tasks list, and clean as much of the flat I have energy for. And wash my hair. And get steps in.
    Well, what I want to do is go back to bed, but on we shuffle

    I hate it when the clocks go forward it throws me out for days 😆 I enjoy the lighter evenings though.

    Yum to the omelette dinner - we’re omnivores but always happy to indulge in eggs with veggies and baked beans any day.

    So yum @Sallyforth, and we're happy that eggs at least don't go off with no fridgefreezer!
