Happy belated birthday wishes to Icey and Pickled.
What a day yesterday. Drove to Winchester, which was fine - had a lovely lunch with my friend and a good catch up. But - the sat nav totally let me down on the way home, I ended up driving on the wrong side of the road and got totally lost. Took me over an hour to get out of Winchester, lots of tears from me. Finally found the way to the road I needed, as I wanted to avoid the M3. All very stressful. But lessons learnt as always from anything stressful. Honestly, felt like I had been at a 3 hour cardiac arrest in terms of nerves.
Rufus, those MW earrings are beautiful. Will check your pin ones later too. I have exactly the same issue with DH and the washing machine. He just never seems to see that the washing basket is getting full, and has no concept that at least one load a day keeps in down and organised. Very annoying.
Those gigi's are fabulous Bloss, I hope they make it in time for your holiday. I love a playsuit too - I saw a lovely one in Oasis this year, navy with a vintage print that I saw on another woman. She looked fabulous. I am hoping to be better toned for one next summer.
Lovely to hear from you Looby, how nice of your friend to help.
Glad to hear that news appears to be good for DS always. Very stressful for you though.
Appliance wise, we have Bosch for a dishwasher and washer/dryer. Both excellent. Slightly annoying, is that our John Lewis FF is on its way out, but I really want to hang on until we do the Kitchen...in 3 years!! I inherited a Lacanche oven with this house - very powerful, but effectively only has two hobs as it has a plancha. My steamer is my friend for multiple vegetable dishes.
It's cold here today - would love to just stay indoors, but a) DS will go stir-crazy and b) we need to escape the dust and noise. Might see if I can drag DS to the shops to look at wallpaper for him. Have my eye on the diggers range from Laura Ashley for him.
