    I reckon it definitely makes it easier - but I also appreciate that I have more info on how well they are (more than I'd like sometimes! 😂).

    It sounds like you need a toilet version of a wet room.

    🤢 put that way, it sounds horrendous!! 

    Moving out of the litter tray…. I had forgotten today was payday from Cambridge. Have moved the tax money to PBs (they don’t tax me, it’s easier for me to sort it myself). Was putting tax money into a Skipton account at 4.75%, but between what’s in there and what’s in savings currently, I’ll be paying tax on interest, so for now I’ll stick some in PBs in the hope of a little win.

    Have made some of Foxgloves’s garlic flatbreads this afternoon - to go with dinner tonight and also in case I don’t get time to make tortillas tomorrow (not sure they’ll be any use as fajitas, but we can improvise). Have collected the paint needed from second garage (said hello to the much-neglected teardrop too) ready for touching up where various ex-radiator holes have been filled. No pub tonight - a fun trip to Wickes instead! 🙄
