    I left a broken washing machine on the front of our drive, ready to take to the tip the following day. Some kind soul turned up during the night and took it, literally, saved me and Oh a job anyway.

    Things magically disappear here too. I leave them outside and think if they are still there in a week or so I'll think about how to remove it and mostly the scrap goes.

    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    I love choirs! Is it a community one or one of the big ones? I recent joined one of the big ones. Is great fun but my main problem with joining one is they all seem to be in the evening. Same with line dancing, which also seems to be evenings. I prefer daytime activity myself, as even in the summer I don't really like to go out after 4pm. Not sure why I'm like this but I am! I could start my own daytime line dancing group i suppose but a choir might be a push😁

    Boo to the washing machine but glad you’re getting some help with it. I hope DB can sort it out for you 🤞

    Great news about the choir. Not so great about the WM. Hope DB can sort it.
