Me too. I'm nervous. Our flats share an indoor hallway so we get made pretty aware of each other's comings and goings.

Oh you need milk! If I'm having a milo (not tea-lo) hot drink I usually make it half milk half water. Or if it's a cold drink, all milk. I also put it in vanilla yoghurt, and on vanilla ice-cream. It's versatile 😂

Hmm.. Maybe I made your expectations too high, I have a habit of that. Or maybe you have to grow up with it, and have some sentimental attachment to it. I'm not sure. Will ponder..

He took a parcel for me once. The only time I've ever seen the inside of his flat. He opened the door to me and all the walls were painted a sort of nightmare red colour. I didn't mean to but I sort of recoiled in horror. He didn't take any more parcels for me after that.

👀 There is someone making noise in the flat next to mine (it's council, mine isn't). It has been empty about a year since my neighbour (I think) got sectioned. Looks like they're doing it up to let out again.
