    I liked them before and I like them now @Wednesday2000. Beach vibes is very in this summer and nothing says British beach more than kelp and seaweed so you're bang on trend. Don't accessorise with massive pebbles though or people will try to put a deckchair on you

    My laptop only showed the cat face and I was really confused until I scrolled down 😂

    Have finally put the screws back into my curtain poles so they don't keep moving about.

    Now need to come up with a plan for packing up yet more of the house by the 17th as I'm hoping the new builders will start then and finally get the work finished. Mind you, I haven't had their estimate yet!

    I finally read my gas meter and submitted it. I've used a lot less than they estimated.
