  • Well done on painting SW. I have walked the dog but apart from that I cannot motivate myself to get off the sofa 😆

    I ran out of fence one coat and am using an inferior paint on the outside of my garden entrance it is a bit funny looking and my back is a bit sore. I am only doing  it as i have put it off soooo many times!!! After this i am not doing  anything not even vacuuming the house.

  • It's done for this year, all will weather over winter and you won't notice in spring 😉

    Perhaps a soak in the tub or a long shower to ease your back a little. Definitely have your feet up and some yummy food.

  • Hey Swan
    I get it, you do so much, then hit that wall... It's so hard to restrain yourself when you want to be 'up and doing', just listen to your body, and chill.... it will all still be there, and you know you have done so much already you will catch up.... Take care! <3

    Today i did a healthy food shop for £15, a £12 food shop from £land, I ordered a new sim (thanks MSE for the moneysaving) and walked 4 miles.  I am going to explore new broadband from the weekend.

    Sounds like a really productive day! 
  • Sounds like a good shopping trip and a nice walk.

  • I Hope you have had a good week SW. Have a relaxing weekend and enjoy the sun. Let us know how you get on with looking for a better broadband deal
