Resolved

 Bathroom situation again.....I've bought a portable toilet off the internet, it'll be coming Monday.  Whilst it's not an ideal situation, I feel much better about having a portaloo of our choosing, brand new (and clean!!) rather than some random used commode foisted on us.  And, let's face it, it may well prove to be useful, or even a necessity, in the future!  I'm still going to push for the bathroom flooring work to be postponed until next year though, there's just too much going on in our lives right now and I don't want the added stress.

This is the hairstyle I've decided I want:-

It's very different from anything I've had before, I've had short hair for years but this is much shorter - and shaved at the sides and back.  I really like it, I'll look at a few hairdressers - there are several in the town - and make an appointment next week.  I love the colour too but won't have that done at the hairdressers, I'll do it myself, I've always coloured my hair myself.  I've not coloured my hair for at least a couple of years so it's now my natural colour (dirty blonde) but fading to grey - very light and nondescript actually.  My Mum never really went grey, her hair colour just sort of faded too, mine seems to be going the same way.

It's windy and quite cold with showers forecast today, looks like they're about to start soon.  I need to buy a different type of heated clothes airer, the one I've got is a long one, waist height, and takes up too much room indoors, I want an upright one instead, less floor space needed.  Drying washing is always a bit of a problem in the winter here, I haven't got a tumble dryer and there's not much space in our bungalow.  There's the car port of course, plenty of room for airers out there but the coldness means the washing still takes ages to dry.

We actually went to Aldi yesterday rather than today, husband thought there'd be less traffic - as Fridays and Mondays are Butlins changeover days, there's always more traffic on those days.  I got 2 months worth of shelf stable stuff rather than my usual 1 month, so the bill was higher than normal but it'll save us fuel as we won't need to go again until early December.
