Is Mr KK intrigued enough to use the mop?
Hopefully the builders will be finished soon, and you'll be able to have a duvet day redo.
I spend most of my eye tests saying 'I can't really tell'3 -

I’m hoping having an effective ’system’ for mopping will help us both keep on top of it more 😊
It’s funny to remember that I used to clean ‘professionally’ when I was a student. I was good too … still hated it though! 😂😂😂😂

I really do not like the is this one better than that one & now is this one better. I really want to shout something along the lines of HOW SHOULD I KNOW. Usually with the appropriate swear word between how & should. I don't mind the read from the top & now another etc - if I can't read it I can't read it & hearing tests are even worse. Interestingly though I can usually with some volume hear BBC without the hearing aids , but most other channels I can't & movies (especially newer ones) I definitely can't.

I’m the same at the opticians I can never tell which is the better option. As for the puffing air into your eyes, I always get told to stop blinking but honestly how can you not blink when someone is puffing air into your eyes, it’s a natural reaction for goodness sake 😡I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3

I’m the same. Although I thought it was the horrible fluorescent lights in my local specs*** I do wonder if my vision would be different if I wasn’t getting it tested in a basement with no windows3

All of the above is why I left it c. 5 years between eye tests … (plus pandemic lack of appointments etc,)

I'm glad it's not just me then. I think the repeated eye puffs (because I always blink!) are what ruins my results SA.
i forgot to say i had some good decluttering progress today. Picked a spot (the dining room desk - old school leather topped multiple drawers) - and emptied it. Cleaned it, and put things back in. Things that didn't belong went to a more natural home and things I have too many of left the building. If this is the space for pens this is how many I can keep, etc. Which pens would I choose to use, plus a few black biros for forms. Shredded confidential waste as I found it. I just need to do little and often.
i also used up the dregs of a tub of moisturiser. I used to find the 'use it up' thread really helpful. Must find it again.My mortgage free diary: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6498069/whoops-here-comes-the-cheese

I accidentally found the best e-ever eye test this afternoon. I'm at that age where near sight improves but I've been short-sighted since I was ten so I'm used to needing my glasses.
We went into a coffee shop where I know they do nice flavoured coffees but coming in from the cold, my glasses steamed up. DH offered to read the menu to me but I took the glasses off and found I could actually read the board and ordered a Pumpkin Spice latte from it. Much nicer than trying to work out if that's a D or an O on the lowest line.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
The sun's been out and I think I’m solar powered (Onebrokelady)

We’re focusing on a single spot for declutterring and organising today - the tools / DIY drawer in the kitchen …. Wish us luck! 😉😂
Hope you managed a bit more sleep / rest last night.
