Hoping my end of weekend to be a box of fluffys! (Can you tell I’ve been in nz, my kiwi-isms have retuned lol)
‘With husband’. Not
Remortgaging the husband. But , that may be better interest rates 😂
“I have no clue, just no clue, on anything just now” stage 😂.Trip back took an extra 26 hours due to a diversion to Brisbane after 2 aborted landings at (transit) Sydney. I tried to have a conversation about remortgaging husband 3am this morning. He is strongly hoping my body clock resets asap 😂
