   I'm replacing my living room carpet with tile. I think I might be able to replace the shabby bathroom linoleum too. Off to Hammerbarn to look at bathroom tile.

   One of these on special at Hammerbarn. I do have to keep on top of it, mowing once a week at the moment or I run out of charge about ⅔ of the way through. Same deal when I moved the height down a notch, ran out of battery before finished

   I have just been patronised terribly by a blokey bloke attendant at the Hammerbarn. My crime, I’m a girl who wanted to fix her own dunny seat, and didn't want the cheap nasty one. I complained.

   Today has been very bloody draining. Psych for child, GP for me and the bloody emotional cofferdam was broken, then off to Hammerbarn for something no-one could find, then fucking idiot drivers, now 15 minutes to sit on my arse before school pickup.
