    That's shocking from the builders 😡

    sorry to read about the party wall issues. Builders create problems and then leave the house owner to repair relationships with neighbours.

    Feeling hormonal and tired and ugh today but determined to keep up a modicum of positive attitude

    Waited in for collection of broken fairy lights. This is after waiting in yesterday and chap not being able to take it as amazon had not relayed to royal mail that they were meant to be bringing the label. They have not as yet arrived...

    Usuals
    Survey
    Shower and hairwash using free toiletries
    Entered some competitions
    Ordered two plants for the garden
    Bothered to make an effort with fruit and veg intake
    Client job
    Carpet walk
    Bit of cleaning before mum comes over this evening, we're going to get takeaway and support the local Turkish 😊🥂

    Thanks @KajiKita. Cornus sanguinea midwinter fire and Chinese lantern (both in pots). Thought it would be nice to have some autumn/winter garden loveliness

    I love Chinese Lantern plants. In fact I've just bought a couple of sprays of fake ones to make an autumnal display in a vase.

    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 💪

    A pottering day today as hip and knee joints feeling particularly affected by hormones but it was nice having Mum here for relaxed vibes. Will have to get back on some gentle steps tomorrow

    Usuals
    Two surveys
    Chased amazon as royal mail did not show up
    Laundry using free/budget products
    Deadheaded achillea and pinched out tomato plants
    Half wussy situps

    Got refund on fig tree as it was covered in caterpillar cocoons so that's sorted the money I owe my current account for Santander transfer 🍻
