I agree with Greenbee it's important to do an end to end Vinted learning process @redofromstart.
today me and MrBC (should that be MrBC and I?) drafted, finalised and sent an email that I hope will help prevent a horrific kerfuffle with a "difficult" part of the family about a controversial financial issue. It was quite draining discussing the issue and would have been easy to avoid doing anything but we did it! Afterwards we swopped a cup of tea and GBBO for a glass of wine and GBBO.1 -
Good to have the account in readiness @redofromstart 😁 I steer well away from the buying section but good bargains are to be had there
The wine sounds very well deserved @Blackcats
Hope the email significantly lessens any nastiness with those people, of whom you know I take an extremely unimpressed view. I have my haughty face on just thinking about them!1 -
Mr KK has done a proper OAT this evening 😊
He came across a handful of cable clips at work today, brought them home and used them to secure the cable to the skirting board underneath our duel fuel bathroom radiator. That’s a job that’s only been outstanding for c. 14 months! 😉

Made a start, researching how to economically put something in the last two windows. I was going to leave them but they do look "unfinished" so I think an extending rod and one curtain on each. The windows are oddly recessed, I don't want a roller blind, one has no room for curtains, and a roman blind which would be ideal will have to be made and comes out a little expensive, and, that was there before. I have just one curtain on a stair window, again an oddly recessed window which the stairs cut across and the one curtain looks really good there.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
