    Just wanted to add I'm currently listening to major loft scrabbling. It's birds that somehow get into the roof and take our insulation for their nests, every now and again w get one that gets stuck. Must get it sorted too!

    A good decision to take a break, you have to make sure you have energy for all the fun things you have been planning. Take care.

    enjoy the break :)
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Afternoon all :)

    I've been posting on a few threads, but ignored my own diary :D I created my own pressure by suddenly planning to go out every other day, after months of just doing the necessary and not much else. No!!!! Really, really didn't work, so now I'm just looking at twice a week; erm, at that rate, I'm almost set up till mid-June :rotfl: I took it easy yesterday, and have another visit out planned Weds, and another Friday :j

    I've been working hard on my open cupboard by the back door, the front of which had become so cluttered I couldn't use *any* of the cupboard at all :eek: Two little Wilko plastic crates to hold general stuff, an old cat litter tray to hold open bottles of garden and DIY and cleaning stuff, plus a toolbox my sister gifted to me from the many sitting in her garage, and things are a lot less liable to get dust all over them, plus more accessible :j

    Still chopping away at the box hedge sometimes - the underneath of it is so dry that little bits a few inches long come away in my hands. I stack them in a bucket and take them to garden areas that need weed suppressant.
