An in-between phase

PennysIntoPounds

Hopefully @Sun_Addict, just bit sad to not have working ones to have nice ambience for friends coming over for first time on Sunday, won't be able to get replacements before then

My no bad vibes perfume wasn't doing it (apparently it only works on a Sunday) so I've put my power-getting-a-grip perfume on, and turned on my poundland led candle. Ha, sod you The Miserable Things, I have rosemary and wine and book and olio lantern with still working light, in your face

That looks lovely though. Have you got a few candles/tea lights to dot around for your friends visit on Sunday?

Thanks @Sun_Addict. I do, but a. it's looking quite breezy here on Sun and b. to have effective lighting with candles in this space I think will look like we've lured them round for a satanic ritual or even worse a seduction

I'm with you on the general petulant malaise Pip.

Hope it eases soon.

Sending hugs for a more positive feeling Saturday x

Really at this point a satanic ritual may be helpful- summoning demonic builders perhaps? They can't be any worse than yours 🤣

Pics and review for free cleaning spray

Shower and hairwash using free toiletries

Nice time at mate's birthday do, less nice time on way back being stuck on non moving tube super anxious about how long we'd be there due to constant worry about bowel incidents. How this is the capital city of this country I do not know, nothing ever bloody works. Anyway, back now and having a glass of wine in the garden before an earlyish start tomorrow to clean and get bits done before friends come over.

Hope everyone is having a good Saturday 🥂

Glad you made it back for a glass of wine in the garden. Enjoy your friends tomorrow!

Have been following along but not commented in a while. So.,,..

1. Congratulations on the move 👏
2. Congratulations on saving ambitions to move back to fave London area 👏 👏
3. Well done for putting up with so much tiresome nonsense along the way and still getting up in the morning 😵‍💫
4. Well done for tackling the ongoing nonsense and still getting up in the morning 😵‍💫😵‍💫
5. Every single wussy sit up deserves its own applause (even the ones conquered during petulant malaise)💪
6. More congratulations for finding decent local watering hole for pints (not sure if you’ve done any petulant sipping) 🍻
7. Sorry for lights not working 😢
8. Nothing helpful to offer on the awning/shade/umbrella front except I’ve only ever had a big umbrella but of course that damn sun keeps moving around the sky ⛱️☀️

Keep going. Your news is way better than the local/national/international news that’s for sure.
