For 11 weeks we have had people in with the end in sight (hopefully) I am becoming more and more tetchy with everyone and everything.

I have spent far too much time on GN, spent too much money finger shopping (internet) along with far too many hours in our local tea shop, with a latte, cake and my kindle.

Should all be completed by the end of November, now worrying what I will do with an empty house and all the hours previously used avoiding being here.

What do you do when you have men in 🤷‍♀️?

Too true Monica!

Since we moved in 28 years ago, updated and decorated as we could afford, he’s announced after the completion of each job, that’s the last time I’ll be doing THAT!

Fortunately for him I’m not a wife who wants a new kitchen/bathroom every few years so it’s more maintenance these days. He happily trots around his domain looking for work and I’m glad he’s still able to!
