Summertime

That's shocking Cheery Daff with the price that they charge for their products! The cups seem inexpensive though and come in a range of lovely colours.

I'm home now from farm-sitting so lots to get done.
I've been to the post office to pay in some money I was owed.
First wash is done and hung out, need to put a second wash on.
Garden needs urgent attention, things need watering and picking, and the beans need pulling up and podding because they've got some sort of yuk on them.
Coops need emptying and cleaning.
(Work too, obviously, but that's standard)
Anything else is a bonus!

Sat down with a cup of tea and compiled my list for the week and achieved a few quick wins 

MrBC's debit card activated.  Embarassingly it probably took longer to type this than it did to activate the card
some money shuffling to ensure a good interest rate on some short term savings
shredding 
started knitting the sleeve of my jumper again.  My last attempt was orangutan arm proportions so I'm adjusting my tension and the pattern.  I couldn't muster any enthusiasm for a few weeks after the first  ⚽️'s up but I'm ready to crack on with it now

popped out and made a return to ama zon and paid my dad's paper bill

time for more tea now

Has anyone bought the Smeg ones? they look a good size

I refuse to buy anything Smeg after my hob fiasco (the paint came off all round the edge, they refused to do anything even though within guarantee as it was 'cosmetic' and said it was my fault). Nicely rusty now and impossible to clean properly (repainting it myself is a long-standing OAT - watch this space...) So Smeg can bog off! 

(I know plenty of people love their stuff, but I do make a point of telling my crappy stove story to counterbalance as I know people buy their stuff for the way it looks, as indeed we did) 😬😂

I didn't know they made travel cups though. They probably look lovely! 😂

That's really bad Cheery Daff, I just read your thread on the subject.  No wonder you are anti-smeg.  

Just out of interest, did you try a section 75 claim?  If not there's still time.

I’ve asked the friendly but super technical electrician next door if he would rewire Mr KK’s cement mixer as the 110 connector wiring is becoming distinctly dodgy! (It’s so far below his usual activity it’s laughable 😉)

He’s going to come round tomorrow evening 😊

I am delighted to say the planned dive into the bottom of one wardrobe on Sunday was a huge success. The bottom of it is now a decluttered sanctuary and there is room to find everything in there as we are getting rid of quite a few bits. New OAT is to rehome the large bag of surplus stuff including 4 different types of bag we no longer need and a beanbag cover. Feeling pleased!

Took two sets of doors handles, that Mr KK picked up but are the wrong type, back to the builder’s merchant for a refund 😊

Well done everyone, great OATing going on

Cement mixer rewired. It needs a new waterproof grommet but at least the live is no longer exposed to the elements … ! 😳

No, I didn't, and I can't now remember why! There was a reason - I'm sure i investigated at the time. I may have been put off by the retailer insisting it wasn't actually faulty, it was just cosmetic damage. And now we're well lut of the warranty period, feels like it was ages ago. But I'm more militant now and have been complaining about all kinds of things so maybe I'll give it a go - back on the OATs list it goes!
