Playing a game with Chris where we name songs called... I said things on the high street. He went with 'if you tolerate this, then your children will be Next'. And that's why I love him.

Old bed dismantled, area under the bed hoovered and carpet shampoo'd and hoovered again, dehumidifier ran for an hour to make sure the carpet is super dry, and I am ready for new bed delivery between 11-1 then an afternoon of flat pack.

I'm having the same issue over and over again with Sainsbury's. I'm collating data, because 21 contacts to customer service about the same issue means I now know, statistically, only 66% of them understand the issue and refund me without problems.

Yesterday we had our gutters cleaned, and they did the windows too for good measure. Today, biggest storm in 30 odd years, windows filthy again. At least they haven't fallen out and don't have a tree in them, I guess.

Put in a tiny cat door to the bedroom, because it's absolutely fricking adorable.

Yesterday I drilled through a door to attach through bolts to a handle without waking Chris, this morning l drilled through metal to widen holes on brackets for a light fitting I'm making, tomorrow I won't drill, as I'm scared of drilling into walls. (I fear hidden dangers.)

Treated the cats to some new beds for their wall - the old ones were very frayed and saggy. Same brand, so no new drilling, yay!

The best part about being the only veggie at Christmas is that I get to make myself a fancy bake.

Box o'cats

Brexit still hasn't got in the Christmas tree. He wants to. I want him to. Last year he waited til Christmas eve. I think he thinks he's not allowed.

I live at the end of a cul de sac, so this weather means I get to see all the stuff my neighbours didn't think to secure fly down into my front garden. I'm currently the involuntary bailee of an empty builders bag. I expect more.

I have made three veggie pies and three meaty pies and six portions of veggie korma this fair morn. I am ready to do very little for the rest of the day.

Chris - largely consistent and on the good side. Me - mostly bad to awful, when all hope is lost and there is no chance of a win, produce a turkey from nowhere. Bowling is too much like real life.

A new cocktail, the Gender On The Beach, which is a bit like a Sex On The Beach except the ingredients are none of your fucking business and whatever you put in it is basically fine if you like it that way

I'm having my kitchen painted on Monday so went to the big Tesco to get a vegan ready meal that can be cooked in a microwave. Silly me for not checking in the app first, they have literally none. Nor any loose potatoes, as I did think of a jacket.

This is like when you get a brand new notebook and you're scared to write in it.
