Plans for the rest of the year! Final Balance of 2025!Finish another 2 books and put them in the pile by the front door to go Back to Charity-Land!Go volunteering one last time, to the unheated warehouse, in 2025.Hoover the whole entire house in one go, so that for one last time, the whole house is clean.Bake a cake for NYE - It should use up the last of the many many packets of Self Raising Flour. New Year, New Flour (probably not a thing, but it probably should be). It will also get rid of stuff I don't want to have in the house, looking at me, chocolate buttons and stem ginger- I'm talking to you!Not going to log on to work fakebook site until next year, I will not be a slave to checking for work. If the last month has taught me anything, it is that 'they' know who I am now, and can contact me directly if they really want me. They ALL know who I am now
Gotta love office gossip. Never ask me 'can I ask you a question?' in public, when I have a captive audience - you deserve whatever you get, even if you weren't about to propose / give away a cash prize / experience an existential crisis (or likely be by the end of our conversation). Find somewhere to stash 10 (yes TEN) large bars of chocolate, and 2 large boxes of chocolate truffles, 4 bottles and one box-thing of red wine (I don't drink unless I am working!!).I....asked.....for.....flippin'......candles...! Candles, don't contain calories. Chocolates and wine do. Why is everyone so helpful???4/10/25Three Years Mortgage Free Yay!

Ask a silly question, get turned into an impromptu gameshow contestant! It's even worse when people have 'mislaid' a husband, or whole family. Strangely it is rarely a woman whose has gone missing.
Q. Can I have a photo with my parents?
A. Yes, where are they?
A. Wetherspoons/ downstairs/ on the loo/ Croydon/ at the airport / not here yet ...... ???????? honestly??? Telephoto lens?
2026 so far has been odd.
Breakfast has been prepped and is in the fridge. Oats Overnighted. Lunch has been soup for the last 2 days. Loving it.
House 80% clean and tidy. Slowly ploughing through one m3 at a time.4/10/25Three Years Mortgage Free Yay!

Had an email before 9.30 - could you work for us tomorrow? from Company #2.So I have 3 surprise days of work this week, and I can hop on the train to within 5 minutes walk from the host venue. It will be an extra £500 in the pot for this month. I am very happy this has happened. I am still hoping to pick up another 2 days at another more local event next week, but again, if it is going to happen, it is going to be last minute.4/10/25Three Years Mortgage Free Yay!
