15/20 on the #HiddenBooksGame and I'm struggling!

Connections Puzzle #886 🟦🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟦🟩🟩 🟩🟦🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 So caught up in the Hidden Books Game that I almost blew it 😂

Anybody else started the #HiddenBookGame ?

The day where I wonder whether I've ever read a book in my life 😂

A decade of cuts has left a £1.5 billion NHS dentistry funding gap. Current funding is only enough for half the population to get an NHS dentist - and the rest, like Lizzie, Monica and Marquita, are left to suffer.

We’ve got a plan to make the government sit up and listen. But we’ve got just days to make it happen – and we need your help. Learn more here: www.gofundme.com/f/force-the-...

Smells like someone has been burning tyres out there. Nearly choked on it when I took the dogs out last night, and it's still going this morning 🤢.

When did doctors get so young? Pretty sure I just had an appointment with the female equivalent of Doogie Howser 🤣 #ShowingMyAge

Christmas cakes done yesterday, now hiding away in a dark cupboard till it's time for marzipan. Got another one in the oven today because I miscalculated my recipe! #ChristmasBaking #ChristmasCake

I just saw two tiny deer at the bottom of my garden! Not sure who was more surprised. We stood and looked at each other for about 5 minutes, then they ran off into the bushes. So cute 😍 🦌

Got my Halloween decorating done. This is it. 😂 (I also have cobwebs, but I can't really take credit for those 🕸️) #Halloween #Ducks 🎃👻💀🦆

Cakes are in the oven, house smells like Christmas 😋. I might have miscalculated my quantities as I seem to have enough cake mix left over to do another cake! Will have to be tomorrow now as all my tins are in the oven 😆 #ChristmasBaking #ChristmasCake

It's that time of year again. Got my fruit soaking ready to do my Christmas cakes tomorrow. #ChristmasBaking

Update on the long running sink saga... 🙄 After telling me to "buy a replacement plug from Amazon" and me telling them that wasn't a viable solution, I requested a refund on the sink. #WickesUK customer services weren't sure if I was entitled to a refund so I gave up in disgust and called... 1/2

Made bread and butter puddings because it's cold out and I fancied something stodgy 😋

#CurrentlyReading 'Black House' by Stephen King & Peter Straub The follow up to 'The Talisman'. I'm about halfway through, it's pretty good so far 👍 📚💙 #BookSky #Books #Readers

😂😂

Well, I feel like an utter bitch now. Just made a #WickesUK call centre agent cry. Her manager had her tell me that they were not going to fix my faulty sink for a second time and that I should order myself a new plug* from Amazon "they're fairly cheap". This obviously did not go down well with me..

I'm about 8 weeks into the "freezing"stage of a frozen shoulder. Today I decided I was no longer capable of washing, brushing and styling my long hair (it reached the middle of my back), so I've had it chopped to just above my shoulders. It hasn't been this short in years and I feel naked. 😢

Had to do the dreaded 8am call to try to get a GP appointment. Phoned on the dot of 8, was 8th in the queue. After 10 mins had moved to 6th. Was gearing myself up for a very long wait, 2 minutes later I was number 1 in the queue! Everybody else must have given up 🤷‍♀️💪

Watched the 2017 film 'The Dark Tower' last night. Think they might need to add the words "very, very, very loosely" to the "based on the novels by Stephen King" line in the credits 🤣 📚💙 #BookSky #FilmSky #FilmAdaptations

8 weeks after our new kitchen was installed with a faulty sink, and after many, many more phone calls and emails than should have been necessary, I have finally had confirmation that #WickesUK are going to supply and fit a replacement. Can't believe how long it's taken! #WorstCustomerServiceEver

Raymond Chandler vibes with a touch of the occult. Highly recommended 👍 📚💙 #BookSky #GraphicNovel #Readers

Just heard one of the cats being sick in the kitchen. By the time I got there to clean up, one of the other cats was eating it! I nearly joined the pukefest 🤮. Happy #Caturday. #MyCatsAreGross

I thought as it's #Spooktober I'd share my A-Z* of Stephen King books. Feel free to comment with your own favourites for each letter 😀 *I might need to get a bit creative with some of the letters! 🩸📚💙 #BookSky #Books #Readers #A-Z #StephenKing #Horror #SpookySeason 🧵

#Wickes Customer Service training seems to be "just fob them off and pass them to a different department" Spoken or emailed with 12 (maybe 13 now) different Wickes employees over 7 weeks trying to get my issue resolved* 😡 *still not resolved #WorstCustomerServiceEver #WhatCustomerService?

Decided to "quickly" tidy up my bookshelves. I made things worse. Much worse. #NotEnoughBookshelves

I'm wearing socks today for the first time in months. My toes have gone all 'Braveheart' on me demanding "FREEDOM!" #WinterIsComing
