At least my kids can escape to their bedrooms to get away from my singing!
Even my sewing machine is going to moan about being used to much!
And some use out of Kenny too!

When hubby went outside,
He found it, in this state↓

 The packet of batteries had fell out in the road and had been run over....
The company wasn't happy that the box was delivered like that. I got a partial refund on the items that was ruined.
Speaking of orders.
My 6 bottles of Zoflora I ordered last week, was delivered up the road.My hubby has been trying to contact any of the people living in the flats by pressing the front door bell.
No one has answered the door :(
