    Had brunch with friends; haven’t done that in ages, and it felt delightful, normal. Came home to everyone in a shirty mood, resentful at me going out without them for once lol. Made my home made nuggies while I did a load of washing and we’ve just feasted. Now I’m going to have a lay down until it’s time to do my MILs eye drops. She had laser treatment on her eyes a few weeks ago and is no good with putting them in, so that’s been my little nursey task, same time every day.

    I’m going to decline my job offer. Something along the lines of… “My listed expected salary was well considered, and perhaps I’m naive but I hoped it would be well considered by management too. Unless you are willing to meet my expected salary then I decline your offer. I did not intend to waste your time. Thank you for your consideration.”

      “As we have been unable to agree on salary for the position, it is with regret that I will be declining the offer. I’d like to thank everyone involved in the interview for their efforts. Regards Force_maj”

      Don’t apologise; they also wasted your time; they know what a reasonable salary is and they’re assholes for not offering it.

      e: reverse the opening line: “It is with regret that I will be declining the offer as we are unable to agree on the appropriate salary for the position.”

      I have already completed the satisfying job of removing everything from the fridge, cleaning all the shelves/drawers, wiping down all the bottles and containers and putting them back again.

      I had planned on some garden work, but rain means I will plug away at admin in computer instead.

          Nothing too surprising! I love to cook, so use everything in the fridge fairly frequently, but there were a couple of hot sauces in the sauce drawer that have been there for…some time.

      Nup. The kitchen tap developed a really bad leak on Friday night so spent some time with damage control and repairs. That’s my imperative for the weekend done. Spending my time cooking and drinking now haha. It’s awful 😎

    Just vacuumed the couch, a lot more dust on it than expected.

    I swear to God a good portion of adulthood is basically keeping dust at bay.

        I fact checked this because it didn’t seem plausible. While dust does have dead skin in households it usually makes up about 15% of the dust.

      True! Another substantial percentage of life is picking things up off the floor and filling out forms, applications etc.
