bettina for the card ♥
On Monday the builder was supposed to come and install my shelves and do a few tidy up jobs. I emptied the cupboards again -- and man, a person does not need as many carrier bags and bags for life that I had stuffed in the freezer cupboard, seriously, there were hundreds of them -- and then he sent a text saying they weren't coming and would phone at some point yesterday. That was not helpful, builder! I left everything out of the cupboards that night because the thought of putting everything back to just get it out again was too much. Then he did phone and isn't coming until Sunday, so I've had to put everything back.
Other than that, Monday got another negative tick because Kayleigh got in touch to say her dad had been emergency admitted to hospital the night before.

Had an okay day yesterday, the highlight being a free order at Costa when their card payment system went down. It's one of our regular haunts and we always have a chat to the manager, so when she realised we couldn't pay by card she just told us everything was free. I know, it doesn't take much to make me happy.
Today we had plans for an early shopping trip. My niece wants LoL dolls and man, it's proving hard to find the specific one she wants. All the looking is giving me flashbacks to Corey's toddlerhood and looking everywhere for Teletubbies. Those shopping plans aren't happening just yet as James had a bad sleep so is still sacked out on the couch. But he's got a physio appointment in a few hours so I'll have to wake him up soon. Maybe hide the window spray snow before that. He was watching Kirstie's Christmas programme where she helped decorate windows with snowy scenes using spray snow, and hers looked lovely, and to be fair, the one James has done looks nice too, but that stuff gets everywhere.
It's lovely to see so many people posting here again, though I am sorry you've lost your tumblr homes. Obviously, I'm still here, still posting if not as frequently as before. Fannish wise I'm still hanging onto bandom, and read in Musketeers and MCU, specifically Winterhawk which is my obsession atm. I still mostly post about my day to day life. I've seen a few old faces post so if you're interested, Corey is now 22 and in his final year at university, James is doing okay and I had a gastric bypass back in 2016 and have lost a lot of weight and am now healthier than I've been in a very long time. Though the latest rl thing is mam died in the summer so I'm just trying to get through this first Christmas as best as I can.
