2.) Guess what? We're picking up tins of paint tonight to make a feature wall.... It will look good, but I am not looking forward to the work
Did you get him to sign that release? You are not responsible! He is solely responsible! If you agreed to help with the feature wall, get it in writing that you're not doing any more than that!
1. My husband comes home tonight!
2. He submitted some completed forms for background checks and things two weekends ago, and this week they asked for more information so they could do a Scottish criminal background check as well. We're still in consideration! So maybe my #1 slot won't be the fact that my husband is coming home for very much longer.
3. We were just reminded that he has a week of holiday booked starting 3 February. So one more week of work after this weekend, then a week off... and, hopefully, he'll never have to go back!
4. The clutch cable snapped in our primary vehicle (the one my husband uses to get back and forth to Salisbury in) two weekends ago when he was driving home. AA came out and put in a "universal" one to get him moving enough so he could get home, and then he had a proper one fit by our mechanic near Salisbury last week. But for some reason, the proper one was "miles" too long and they ended up having to cut it and, well, it was worse than the "universal" one. This week, my husband ordered the cable online and they tried again, and now our vehicle is back in good form. We rely on that thing so much, it's been a bit stressful to think it might be out of commission.
5. Noms! Last week's ravioli was our best yet, and I learned that black pudding is not quite as savoury as I expected (I'm a little disappointed, I gotta admit). We're going into this week with a bunch of ingredients, but no specific plan for our Saturday cook (Mexican platter night is officially on Sundays now)... We're treating Saturday as a Masterchef Invention Test. Fun time noms!
