Thanks to everyone for best wishes, stuck in today waiting for builder to come back , checked out windows and has now gone to get materials and cut them to size first. Need to do a deep clean of flat but need to wait till he is finished. All the kitchen cupboards are sticky with grease from cooking Indian food, even with extractor fans on it gets everywhere .This afternoon have water company coming to see about fitting meter but any time from 1 to 6 , should 1/2 my bill though.

this is the vanity mirror that mum got for my birthday, love my mum more so as it means acceptance . Builder "sorted" my windows, that's made the best out of a poor previous job. Water meter fitted and the lad that came didn't bat an eye when I opened the door in full Davina mode. No joy with electric meter, told to keep watching readings to see if it spikes

That was sweet of your mum to get that for you. I hope the window repairs reduce your heating bill. With the water meter you should see a big improvement!

You need to consider getting something like this. Most of the time I can contain my mess with a high sided pan but when cooking something messy, I get the splash guard out. What can I say, I'm Lazy and cleaning amounts to putting the splash guard in the dishwasher.

Yes! I have one of those and it works well. The best part is that it's dishwasher safe.

Davina: Wow, that looks like quite a job that you have just about conquered.... I love your goggles and hat.
...just be careful that you don't break a nail... perhaps a manicure is in order after you get the job completed...
... and maybe a victory dinner!!!
Very interesting repair pictures ... all of them have been great to see.
I'll certainly be looking for your "job completed" post.
Hugs,
Danielle

Did chip a few even through 2 pairs of gloves so a bit of filing needed.

JudiBlueEyes · April 17, 2018, 06:03:40 PM

Happy belated birthday. That looks great. I'm sure you'll enjoy that conversion. But brrrr, you do look chilly. Is there heat in your shop?

Peace and love and all that good stuff,

it wasn't that cold but lay on a damp concrete floor is not very nice, it was 12C yesterday and 23C today. Polo shirt only after a session of welding, coat etc.is more for protection and hat instead of hair as don't want to burn that @£180. Fitted the second load floor section and started to fit the panel between wheel arches but almost out of gas. Today was going OK till got back home and Deed poll back in the post again, after saying it needed to be shown as exhibit A they now say that one copy does not need that on it WTF . Did have a spare one so stuck it back in envelope but need to go to post office to send it . Of course its shut before and after work and lunch time is not long enough so will have to wait till Sunday (insert your choice of swear word here). Nice to walk around the flat in a thin dress and not have the heating on and its supposed to stay hot till next week, we shall see!!!

Happy Birthday Davina,
I'm a bit late but with me that's not unusual. Glad that project is going well. That dang deed poll will go through eventually. Enjoy the warmer weather while you can girl.

Hugs,
Laurie

Thanks Laurie, back to the daily grind tomorrow still if wearing a polo shirt may not get "mate" so much as the girls will show a lot more

davina61 · April 19, 2018, 01:43:47 PM

Back to work and the lad that was being "off" with me was fine on the point of being chatty !!!!! After my 10 days of and them being short staffed (he was away today (in joke) I think he now knows how much I do.

davina61 · April 20, 2018, 01:41:41 PM

well the sun is shining and all the lovely young ladies are walking past work in shorts and summer dresses not helping me much , more jealous than dysphoric . Do think she is starting to look back at me now , will wait till 6 month HRT to take a photo (not that long)

Laurie · April 20, 2018, 01:51:41 PM

Davinia Dear,

"She" has been looking at us for months already. We see her in your avatar, in your sweet nature and in your cooking. She has been with you all along. And she is lovely.

Hugs,
Laurie

davina61 · April 20, 2018, 02:26:10 PM

Shy · April 21, 2018, 04:07:16 AM

Nice to hear you're beginning to see your true reflection Davina

I get glimpses from time to time. I also noticed big change in you're latest photo.

Peace and love and all that good stuff,

Sadie
