Hi all!
What was the last thing you attempted to do that turned into a "project" ?
Unfortunately I tend to be a bit obsessive, so almost everything I attempt turns into a project... so sometimes it's easier not to attempt anything!
Extra Credit Question:
Is your home "company ready" at this moment ? Hmmm... depends who's coming. It's okay for a good friend, but not up to par if the Queen's coming for tea.
If not how long would it take to make it "company ready" ? If their eyesight isn't great, probably 30 minutes ... if they can see cobwebs, then I'd need at least two hours.
Bonus Question:
How many catalogs do you get at your home ? We don't get as many catalogs as you guys do in the US... maybe 3 or 4 a year (plus a mountain of junk mail from local stores, supermarkets etc. advertising their wares, but you have to go to the store to buy the stuff).
Which is your favorite ?
None of them
Last time you ordered something from a catalog ?
About three years ago - a wall-mounted thingie for keeping paper towel, saran wrap and aluminium foil on.
Just for Fun:
What are your expected High & Low temps for today ?
I'm guessing - probably 60F overnight and 75F high tomorrow
How many of our QOTD family are still using their A/C ? It's winter here, so I haven't used it for a while!
When do you think you will be able to turn it off ? I only use it as required (not 24/7)... probably sometime during November I'll need to start using it now and again.
Have a great day!
