Hello Fortune, new subscriber here. You seem very methodical and structured in your approach to your tasks - I could definitely benefit from a similar approach. Look forward to journeying along with you.
Welcome to the party Iquit. I am quite an organised person and enjoy planning - it's the execution that lets me down :rotfl:

Greying - Yay! I shall think of all of my small stones as heart shaped now - I'm sure it will make them much lighter to carry :heart2:

Hi DIA. Thanks for popping in. I love it too and isn't it fabulous that it's the first ever photograph on my new diary
Glad you liked the quote and remember - it's true, every single word of it.

Another successful day of lifting small stones:
- 10 more floppy discs consigned to the technology graveyard
- 10 more pieces of paper neatly filed
- 2 further files reviewed
- 1 additional room clean and pristine
- 11 items that didn't sell on FB listed on Fleabay
- 2 extra items listed on Fleabay for luck.
Progress is being made
Lunch was leftover Sausages with Creamy Lentils & Mash. Supper was Baked Potatoes with Prawn & Avocado Mayonnaise & salad.
No money was spent but there are a few things I need from B00t$ so spending may well occur later.
First thing tomorrow I will start dealing with the paperwork for the Estate Agents. Mr F is watching a very grim war film at the moment and I'm not sure I can concentrate with all that screaming, shouting and swearing going on :eek: There was a glass of red left in last night's bottle so I'm using that to dull the pain :rotfl:
Hope your Sunday evening is a little more peaceful

Although I do normally take data protection very seriously, I have funny mental images of potential hackers / data thieves trying to use floppy disks and realising there isn't a slot of their computer for them. Good luck with the new diary! I followed your old one with interest but didn't make it through all the posts.Mortgage started at £318,000 in June 2016. Original MF - 2041 :eek:
