    A few thousand would do me nicely.

    As fast as we're filling this skip people are emptying it. If I'd known I would've just put the stuff at the end of the drive.

    Finally DD has done her room (sort of). Can't really do much else until her room is ready to be decorated to be honest. Think another skip will be on the cards further down the line.

    Finding it hard to get Mr SA to part with some of the bits of old wood he's stashed in the garden "in case it comes in handy".

    Homeless charity collecting a sofa we don't have room for on Saturday. Will finish off clearing kitchen and bathroom this weekend.

    Loving all this decluttering :)

    Forgot to add I went to a carer's workshop at work today, it was very useful.

    Also today is AFD 2 of the week so far :)

    Caught up, life seems good, and exciting times with the work to be done, hope the mortgage goes through without too much more pain
    As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
    What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
    Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
    Fake it, to you Make It

    Another terrible tragedy in London :( I hope no one on here ihas been affected.

    Manic day at work trying to finish up before tomorrow. Ended up going home 1 hour 20 minutes later than should've done. All adds to the flexi though.

    Valuer came out today at 9am - apparently he was taking photos of everything including DD's room (cringe). DD was fast asleep and had to get up.

    Builder came to measure up, he reckons it will all be done and dusted in 3-4 weeks - hope so. Hope building society get their fingers out or will have to do some serious shuffling with savings and credit card.

    Got to get up at 04.30 tomorrow to get 6am bus to get 06.52 train to London :(

    Survived the long day in the big smoke. Left home at 05.45 finally got home at 19.00. Put Mr SA a beef stew in slow cooker so he still got his dinner at 19.30 as normal. He complained about being left for so long and has claimed he had a fall. Mmm. I'm sure he thought I was on a jolly, it's really annoying this is part of my job, like it or not. Daren't tell him there are rumblings of returning at the end of the month.

    Day off tomorrow, hairdressers in the morning, last time before it closes :(
