Little wins.
As we assemble all the parts for a kitchen refurb (cupboard doors, worktops, plinths etc etc etc), a couple small wins in a sea of spending (overdramatising it there a bit).
We got a large lot of stuff in one go, sink, taps, doors etc. And got home to find they hadn't charged us for the taps...ah well, I had spent £600, so saved £48.
Ordered a new cooker 45amp outlet from Amazon...box arrived with 5 in it. I suspect theyve made an error in the original advert, it was a box of 5 for the price of a single unit. That item has now disappeared off Amazon. We now have £40 worth of surplus outlets.

Bonus!

You can open an outlet store.

Okay, I'm going...

It is now pishing it down.

I thought members would appreciate being kept up to date.

Well it doesn't do to show off.

Bright and breezy here chez Casa Reynard, and occasionally sunny.

I plan on spending the day overdosing on motor racing. Been watching the BTCC meet from Donny, and then there's the small matter of the British GP.

Am loving Dan Cammish's new helmet. It's very Warwick-esque.

Sky Sports player ratings here: https://www.skysports.com/football/...lsea-player-ratings-as-gunners-win-at-wembley

The Gunners came out well on top. Dani and Auba both got 9s. Auba was man of the match (for his goals I expect) but I would have given it to Dani.

Same true on the BBC player ratings.

I'd have given Man of the Match to Dani as well. I really hope we can hang onto him, as he'd be a good addition to the squad. Especially since Ozil and Guendouzi seem to have exited stage left.

I just sent the Landlady's dog into a frenzy.

There's a metal door from my apartment to their cellar which is permanently locked but you can hear some sound through it. I just dropped a pencil on the wooden floor and the dog was on the cellar steps.

She is now charging about defending her family from dangerous gravitationally affected pencils. By the sound of it, she's currently pacifying the hallway upstairs.

Glad to hear you're getting back to normal(ish).

What is this "Ironed" of which you speak?
