beanielou I am trying to stick to my April Aim of not going mad but it is proving extremely difficult.
Just had a message from builder saying apparently the bathroom cabinets that were ordered and 'delivered' nearly a month ago aren't there.
I am having a bottle of wine. With a straw.

Ugh how 🤬frustrating 😞Passes wine 🍷
I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping) -.literally have been run over by a bike, mobility scooter and a car - still here 💪1 -
It's lined up for breakfast @badmemory but I feel it's important to have a balanced diet and imbibe other booze at other times of the day
Would probably be easier @WelshmansDaughter, if any countries are reading this and want to hire me as their planning consultant/project manager, I am available
Thanks @Sun_Addict it has not been the sparkliest of days. The cabinets missing are just part of a long series of messages from the builder about things that need doing 😭🙄🥂

Passes a cocktail for breakfast - it has orange juice in - for vitamin C and an olive as you need food - but all cocktails are strong and this will set you up for the day.
Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!2 -
Haha thanks @Watty1 🥂
I'm going to try not to think about build this weekend and I'm certainly not doing anything about it unless absolutely necessary
