Sorry to hear about your shite day snOwy, and about your bedtime tribulations handy.
Peeing down like nobody's business here and the heating's on - just your typical late Autumn morning... Plummy, can I come and stay for a bit! I need sunshine!!”
You'd be welcome to stay but I don't think you'd want to at the moment as it's peeing down here too! It's also a tad chilly at a high of 26C today and down to a near Arctic 20c at night..... which seriously is quite cold here! Houses aren't built to keep the cold out and warmth in, they're mainly just built to withstand cyclones and that's about it. No wall insulation or anything, just one layer of blocks generally.
I've had a grrrrr sort of day at work being bossed around by an idle half-a-job bob 19 yo little madam. I had a bit of a rant to one of my colleagues about it, and she was encouraging me to swear because it made her laugh, she said it's a bit like hearing the queen swear and she says even when I swear I sound as if I'm offering sugar and milk with a cup of tea

Too polite by half!
Then after a long-ish day at work I had the joys of coming home to make a start on clearing out the Stinking Pit of Doom! otherwise known as YoungPlum's bedroom. Who knows what horrors lurk within, but it doesn't smell very nice and when we started there wasn't an inch of bare floor. She is now quite amazed at the sensation of walking on clear flooring and is admitting it is a pleasant sensation! To be fair, she's been quite good at letting me throw away her "treasures". At heart she is a hoarder and if I don't seize control now then she'll be featuring on one of those Hoarder programmes on tv... where she'll be thigh deep in rotten bags of grot saying
"but that was the core of the apple I was eating on the day that I got a B in Science.... I could never throw that away!"
Watch this space for further grumbles at the weekend when we get back to it. Isn't that a glorious way to spend my first proper weekend off for about 6 weeks!
*waves to jra*
Hey Laura, glad to see you posting a little bit more. YoungPlum and I are both well and oh so much happier than we were! Hope you are on the mend and that things are going well for you and yours
Tonight we eat takeaway. I've done enough domestic stuff for one day. Hope you all have a good day!
