Yes, @PennysIntoPounds, it descends into expletive laden frustration at the sink (not from me!) if the level drops too low in the accessible bottle … 😉
@greenbee, LOVE the idea of the cats taking doglet for a walk!! 😂😂😂😂
Perhaps you need a robot …? 🤔

Measured for blinds, and am about to order. Hope I've got it right (better check that measurement guarantee is included!).
Of course, it would help if I could actually get the payment to work...2 -
I refilled our washing up liquid from the 5 litre bulk buy bottle. I have been putting this off for a while. I ended up storing the washing up liquid bottle upside down so we could get the liquid out. Refilling took less than 2 minutes, including fetching and returning the big bottle to the utility room. Why, oh why, do I put this task off? I have been avoiding it for weeks.KajiKita said:Well done on facing the Octopods and shower today @PennysIntoPounds.
World’s smallest oat …
Topped up the small washing up liquid bottle that sits on the windowsill behind the sink from the huuuge (so cheaper by ml) bottle that lives under the sink.KK
Cleared, cleaned, and decluttered 2 large deep shelves in the kitchen.
Worked on improving my financial spreadsheets. This is an ongoing project and today I made some progress.Fashion on a ration 2025 0/66 coupons spent

@Baileys_Babe, I worked out that I was putting it off because I didn’t want to touch the gunked on liquid bottle top, nor did I want put rubber gloves on for such a small job …. (Yeh, I know, zero logic in this … 🤷♀️)
I grabbed the wiping down cloth and used that to unscrew the gunky top and put it back on. Quick rinse of hands and I was good to go! 😊
Greenhouse weeded, fed, re-supported and watered 😊 (I’ve been meaning to do that for a bit has growth has been slowing in recent days.)
Finally worked out how to do my OPs colour-in chart for 2025! Verrrrr proud of myself 😊

@vampiretoothus I bought a Fellowes Powershred 15C, from Amzn, cashback link is on their page but the price has gone back up. Looks like it goes up and down fairly regularly if you can afford to watch and wait as the cashback ends 30th september I think.
Tiny cat has had her shredding pile bed moved to the window ledge in even more sunshine, all of a few inches. I bet she never uses it again in protest. Back to shredding years old notepads, currently on his from 2010.My mortgage free diary: +++ Divide by Cucumber Error. Please reinstall universe and reboot+++
