An in-between phase

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?
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 💪0 -
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.

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

This made me burst out laughing (sorry not sorry)
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 !!1
