Thanks Beanie, BM, Skint, WD and DIA

I've given in and ordered a cordless stick of the sealife variety. I'll let you know how I get on. For anyone considering it - Am**** is well priced - but the manufacturer's website will give you 10% off if you sign up for their newsletter. Because the Am**** deal was so good - I only saved about £12 in practice but still better than nothing. A lot of people say the battery life is poor however - so be mindful of that. An extra battery is around £80 and for the one I've just bought it's out of stock!! I still need to unbox my robot... 

Totally agree on the RS comments... Idiot!!

WD - the C1111t b*ng spray is pretty good - it needs a few applications but it has seen off the black mould in bed 3 - and in that case I just sprayed and didn't rub. Bed 1 is pretty clear now after spray and being wiped down. Bed 2 needs more spray.

DIA on the fleas - I've done my best to banish the cat to the back L shape or outside and removed soft furnishings from that area. I then sprayed the hall, lounge, landing and bathroom with anti flea stuff and started a great washing mountain of cushions and blankets. There are even some washable mats in the hall I need to sort. Not much more I can do until Monday when the vet reopens. I'll then try and take the cat down and get its microchip read - and then I can update my address.

I'm utterly exhausted from going out with DD and her BF earlier. We went to Primarni and I got two black zip up (mens) hoodies - one for £9 (very soft) and a smarter one for £18 that was a bit more like a lightweight jacket. I also got some new makeup as I plan to throw most of my cheap stuff away I've had it (and not used it) for so long.

I haven't found my spending off button yet either - probably due in part to the 0% spends CC - it's less painful than withdrawing £ from savings. I think returning to work will help though. 

I've ordered more of my fave shoes. I went on an outlet and a pair I bought for full price last year was half price etc... I got 3 pairs of trainers from that site. I also got 2 pairs from the main site - as they had special member deals and it was free to join. This is unusual for me... I'll let you know what they are like when they come.They had free returns - so it's possible I may return some of them... One of the two main pairs of trainers I use though is wearing out at the heel so would need replacing soon regardless.

I wouldn't worry too much about a spare battery.  I never even thought of one.  Mine was only a cheapo as I wanted to see how I coped & it has done a whole house of whoops I haven't vacuumed for a while without a problem.

I have a cordless s###k and tbh the battery lasts long enough for me to do the whole house a few times

Thanks BM and Dawn I couldn't sleep all night so made art from 3 and watched the dawn.

Below is an early version of my art. I did 4 journal pages and wrote on them what they meant. I was playing with a stencil for the eyes, nose and mouth using brush pens and then experimenting with soft pastels to try and get rubbings of the washers.




I've had half a breakfast and my ADHD meds and I'm hoping to finally sleep

Why is it every time I come on here I'm always out on the limb by myself?
Please, somebody else vote for a Henry before I start having playground feelings lol
