Emptied out the ‘evolving’ contents of the veg drawer in the fridge! 😂

Half done OAT: Dug around in various locations to find the last few self adhesive felt chair feet. Tomorrow’s job will be applying them to the relatively hard dining room to see if that is a better option for Mr KK to sit on rather than the soft one - we ended up finishing our dinner standing up at the island in the kitchen this evening due to his sciatica kicking off big time after sitting in the soft one for 10 minutes …! 😳😢

This probably won't help but I thought I would mention it anyway.  My parents dining room chairs used to have me in agony.  The front of the seat was higher than the back.  It is surprising how many are once you look.

Interesting. I wondered if it was something like that. The hard dining chair is similar to the one he is currently using in the living room to sit on for modelling (with almost no issues). Whereas the chair he was sat on tonight is relatively ‘soft’ and I think he sinks into it, so tilting his pelvis and base of spine back towards the back of the chair.

I had a chat with someone more senior at work about the job, I'm going to apply. I'll regret it if I don't. 
I just worked all day, but!!!! I did get confirmation of operation storage unit!! Wednesday afternoon it is.
I'm getting a bit annoyed about the stuff in my house that's not mine again. The end is in sight! 
I'm working from home tomorrow so hoping to get a few little tasks done.

Replied to build admin while it was still dark again, feeling like the Wolf of Wall Street

Remember that composite picture frame I finally got around to buying a fortnight ago? Well I finally got around to "almost" filling it this weekend...and tonight's task is to try to find two more suitable portrait orientation photos to put in so it can then be put up. 

Also - batteries bought for the voltage detector in case it wasn't working properly because the old batteries were a bit knackered. if it still doesn't work then I have done "belt & braces" on the situation by borrowing my Mum's one anyway. Ideally I will encourage MrEH to deal with that this evening and if all OK then quickly drill the required hole so the drill which has been sitting on the dressing room windowsill for the last 10 days can go away again...

We also got the first section of wall in the front room painted on Sunday - we're on a roll, I tell you!

Storage unit emptiers phoned again this morning to check the van size etc. 
I've cleaned the chicken coop, which technically is an OAT from the weekend. 
I've also dug out some potential things to wear to my Christmas Do next week. Then worked hard to keep a mini meltdown at bay. Trying things on and finding possible shoes/accessories will have to be a job for another day, but time is running out. 
I'm going to try to finish that application form tonight as I'll be busy Wednesday and Thursday.

Didn't you have to buy a new outfit for something recently-ish @Rhyddid2026? Any bits from that knocking around you may have forgotten about what with it having been got for a specific event?

I went to Ascot ladies day, so not quite the same look as drinking in Birmingham city centre. I'm thinking more along the lines of sparkly cheap stuff I bought for a stag do in Spain 😂 sequins are kind of Christmassy, right? 😉

Blackcats

All manner of grown up financial/banking things done today whilst drinking tea and listening to Roxy Music.
nation wide regular saver opened.  Why is it such a faff when the last one only matured a week ago but still have to fill in income, income source etc ?
Opened a stocks and shares isa. It won't get filled this financial year but I'll put in what I can and await the market fluctuations.
responded to emails about our wills.
money shuffling around various accounts ahead of the end of the month.

one side of my newly knitted jumper sewed up.  It's never as bad as I think it's going to be.  Jumper could be ready for its catwalk debut at the start of our MSE Advent celebrations.

Stuck the felt pads to the bottom of Mr KK’s dining room chair. Very 🤞 that he gets through a meal this evening without having to do the leaping-about-ow-ow-dance …

Emptied, relined and wiped down the recycling bin 😊

At least we managed to get the new ones, I never did manage to renew my Halifax one.  I have several accounts with them & I've banked with them over 20 years & they wanted me to go in.
