    I did get as far as registering for Vinted and then an accidentally bought a dress. Whoops.

    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    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.

    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!

    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.
