How cute is this? My hair is messy, the dog is scruffy and Andrew's happily watching over us. It feels right.

Okay so now it seems they've slowed down or taken a break as there hasn't been any drilling since I asked.

But I'm already awake now. Drill away.

Keep it quiet for another 40 minutes tomorrow morning instead, please?

Now, they seem to stop before midday so I thought it wasn't a long project but as it's day 3 I thought to knock and ask how long they'd be doing that for.

2 weeks.

I would have knocked and told them if work was gonna be done on their adjoining wall for that long!!

Am I being sensitive?

I'm a little annoyed at my neighbours, because they've started doing work on theirs at 8am, which usually wouldn't bother me, but they're drilling directly into the wall behind my bedroom.

I also have an on/off migraine rn so it's making me wake up very sick

The plus side is they'll take my old (fully working) hairdryer too

Ordered GIGANTIC postage bags and cardboard tags to attach to them, so I can donate my clothes+ by collection, as it seems none of the charity shops by me accept directly anymore. (And I have pittakionophobia)

*clarification*
It's annoying that it means I can't block them, not that they've done it to avoid the block

Annoying when people deactivate their FB, so you can't block them

There's a reason one of my nicknames is Handy Ma'am

I'll have to let you know 😊

I was getting coffee from Grind and I guess it's new and obviously I had no choice in the matter of purchasing some 🤷🏽‍♀️

Yes, there's a tap to turn to adjust the pressure and its not inside the boiler, so it's accessible to people without needing an engineer

I thought my pipes were making odd noises last night but I was already comfortable in bed, so I was hoping I'd remember this morning. No need. The pipes were making weirder noises. Though it was what I expected (low pressure). And no the heating wasn't on, before you ask.

I ordered from Grind (the coffee place here in the UK) but accidentally ordered something wrong, though the same price; so I contacted them minutes after I got the confirmation and asked if they wouldn't mind exchanging it.

Well, they got back to me today (Sunday) and were happy to fix my mistake!

Do you ever read a low-rated movie synopsis and realise it's based on a book; then think that the book is probably actually good even though the movie isn't great and now you want to read the book but not watch the movie?
