Really enjoyed it though was not expecting to cry quite so many times! @lucielle @KajiKita @beanielou
And cannot stop singing Violet, which is unfortunate both for my throat and anyone who can hear me 😁
We'll see what occurs @EssexHebridean, the place is so small and dark (surrounded by neighbouring walls and garages, and we had to dig down to get planning permission to not intrude on other houses) that having bad stairs would really make the place feel and look so much sh*tter so we feel stressed but justified in digging our heels in as far as we can!
If we need to live with a compromise then so it goes, I just want to not. be. f*cking. ignored.
I can't think why Riot Women chimed with me 😂https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase

Half wussy situps

Survey
Saw a m.o.u.s.e last night so we did some furniture moving to where it was seen running to but couldn't find any holes to block up. If there are holes behind the radiator then there's nothing we can do about that so will just hope it's let itself out and won't fancy returning!
Shower and hairwash
Walk with Mr PIP for Sunday beer and build admin.
The green hop beer and the background reggae are definitely helping with the good vibes only, while we're making this long list of work we need to do!
Hope everyone is having a good one 🍻https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase
