Morning all. Hope you're well.
Positive work vibes going out to Round and YSL today. I find if someone lies I call them out on it but phrase it as "I think you were mistaken....." It doesn't necessarily improve the relationship with them but they know you can't be walked all over.
I still have eight days off so will do whatever I'm going to do at snail's pace today.
Have a great day everyone.Spend less now, work less later.11 -

Morning all
@pigpen good news about the -ve test...
@Valli hugs about your Mum, it must be a worry.
Kitchen day today I see.
Mine is mostly up to scratch but I think I will make it my job to empty the bookcase in there that's full of cookery books, give it a good clean (there's bound to be cobwebs behind it) and then dust the books before putting them back.
Also need to do the Mr T order for delivery tomorrow.I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

Me again.
I have got banking and admin up to date. I always worry particularly with unexpected expenses like new tyre at weekend and a 400 mile round trip to visit MIL in hospital, but all is ok with finances, car and MIL. I think my anxiety around this comes from times past when we were over £50k in debt.
I have also put clean covers on the sofas and washed up the breakfast dishes.Spend less now, work less later.11 -
I have shiny new taps. So pleased about that - and it's a Toots list job ticked off - finally.
Emptied DW, WUALTD.

Morning all,
Coping hugs for you and your DD, Valli x I hope the work day goes better than feared for Round and YL.
Up early to take DH to the hospital, the long way round as the direct road is closing for 2 days “some time this week”, according to the road sign. Well that’s helpful then. Read a bit more of my book with a cuppa when we got back then decided that I really ought to get a wiggle on.Wm x 1 done, no TD here so it is hanging in the DR. Ultimate flying undertaken - bathroom blinds cleaned. Disgusting. Then decided that I ought to s&s the bathroom while I was at it. I’ve got some bread dough mixed now, with one eye on the window for the Mr M delivery. He is going to get drenched just walking up the path.10 -
Boo at water ingress.. yay for everyones progress.. hugs for anyone in need and swift healing for the leg wound.
Valli.. if you get 5 minutes send me a wave! I have twinkle off school tomorrow.. second round of spreading flu through the school so she is missing another day.. I might take her to do something vaguely educational.. she has a blue coat with shiny unicorns and I have a rainbow zebra walking stick.. feel free to say hi! We may not get there with various other appointments

Back again.
I had a daytime bath, put dry washing away, dusted surfaces in bedroom, changed bedding, hoovered through. I also walked Poppet. The plan was to put up posters but ended up tidying the Memorial garden after the high winds yesterday. Got back just before the rain recommenced.
As I'm off work I'm relaxing for rest of day.Spend less now, work less later.11 -
