    Time to pack my bags, will deliver my suitcase to home city this afternoon, then head off for a night in a suite in a lovely Sheraton hotel in Africa, then back through here tomorrow to end up in Dubai. Not sure if this is an indication of life returning to normal, but I like it :):)

    Then 2 glorious weeks off after 78 days on duty.

    Gorgeous day, I'm going to sit out in the garden and doss.

    NewRed2, get over to the "Who'd Live In A House Like This" thread. My favourite estate agent foible is the new trend of taking pictures of the outside of houses when it's dark, all blinds and curtains open and all lights on. It's very important to know what your prospective house looks like at night when you're inside after all ... :confused:

    Just got my hair done, it's liberating!
    Prices have gone up massively though across all of cuts/colours etc but I can see how hairdressers have to recoup a lot of lost income.

    I've burned the dinner. Went upstairs to lie down and listen to a podcast for 30mins and fell asleep. Poor Grumpy has just forced down two bone dry lamb chops. I burned the steamer dry so no spuds and veg. Thankfully,, he's in good form and has been very stoic about it. He'll be getting beans on toast in a while when Mr. Sardi drops a loaf of bread round.

    De-stressing in bed after an incredibly hectic week work-wise where I had two major deadlines for big workloads yesterday and today that I managed to meet.

    Had originally planned for a long walk in the park but tbh I’m just too exhausted. Really looking forward to doing sweet FA over the weekend.

    Wishing all you Wherers a nice, chilled, event-free weekend. :)

    Why am I only hearing about this now? I'm on my way! (Don't worry, I mean to that thread not to your garden...)

    Those estate agents are evil geniuses. See this is exactly why I wanted to get a T-shirt printed that says "Estate agents 4-eva" to wear to all my house viewings, to show my appreciation.
    It would be classy yet subtle.

    Don't all fight over it now! :p

    Extremely short , it's either a #1 or 2 , not 100% sure PM .
    I eventually copped on that it was crazy paying the hairdressers mad money for a w/c/b when the barbers would do the job just as good if not better .

    I usually have to go home and settle my hair anyway after a blow dry so I get what you mean.

    My hair dressers price went from €86 to €126 and I’m dreading the new prices if yours went up.

    Had a great day myself and treated myself to a takeaway for dinner :)

    The people that were working from home during lockdown will only get busier now that salons are putting prices up 30-40%

    I'm an expert with the Mach3 if anyone wants...€25 and I'll sort you out

    The cameras are obviously focused on my fridge tonight. ☺️

    Couchside, had a lovely mashed up salad bowl with the lovely Atlantic brown bread from Aldi, troops fed , chicken as usual, big glass of red beside me ,heating on and I'm starting to nod off already, the restrictions lifting is of no use to me, I'm too tired to go anywhere.

    I honestly don't know how they can justify that price increase. I appreciate their doors have been closed but to rip off loyal customers in a bid to claw back some of the damage , I'd be fuming.

    That price increase was just from the first lockdown and they’ve been closed longer this time.

    Friend just texted me to say The HSE have agreed to sit down and negotiate with the hackers. But they have warned them that they could be waiting up to 2 years for an appointment.
