Travelling On

Karmacat

Amazon fun duly had.  48 cards made of recycled paper for £13.95, 2015 paper version of the Highway Code £1.88 (new one out next year, but I'll swing for £1.88), and rounding up for free delivery with a 500ml glass jar of organic, fair trade, extra virgin coconut oil.  £14 survey voucher allocated to Amazon, so I actually paid £8.75, I'm happy with that.  Off to bed now

GARDEN
Cut back, especially a few plants that do nothing for me or for pollinators 
4 sessions in 2 days, lots more to do, plus planting. 
Doing one long session a day, currently.

Prepare for winter's garden diy tasks: concreting near kitchen wall, gap filling near air bricks, painting fences, mending gaps in crazy paving.
Insanely optimistic, though I think I was copying from a longer list, to be honest.  Oops.

HOUSE
Cleaning.  It's now much better than it was, but some areas still look like a slum 😮
Clearing away in my living room and my bedroom, so that I can get someone in to do quotes to replace the windows.

Getting the broadband change going is the most mse thing I can do right now, saving of £15 per month, £27.50 down from £43.95.  Very pleased with this!

Taking a break from the computer now, just gathering things together for the recycling bin collection tomorrow.

More of the cutting back in the garden - my lovely neighbour used his hedgetrimmer to cut back the leylandii at the front by agreement, and I went out to pick up the bits, which is more intensive than it sounds  

And I managed to do the healthy walk again, hurray!  Also found out that they don't sit in a cafe any more (even before covid, I couldn't bear the local cafes, I ended up with a headache *all* day, twice).  Nowadays, they buy takeaway, and sit outside.  The local cafes are only doing takeaway anyway, so it's all good.

Bit slow starting up today... woke at 4.45, and drifted off, finally, about 7am.  In current conditions, I can cope with that  

Just done another YG survey - already have 400 points to the next payout.  And today:
- dw on.
- make new principality dd (separate point on the October list, woo hoo).
- cook the beans I soaked overnight.
- cut some grass.
- vacuuming!  Awfully impressive

Vacuuming?  Where is MY KC - what have you done with her?

DW is on, and I just arranged the new principality dd.   In the process of which, I discovered I can't transfer out any of the money in the now-matured Regular Saver.  Sigh ... there's always something.  So, logging back on to them and asking them what the dickens ... 

And I just realised - I haven't actually set up the new dd yet, I've sent money along, as I need to catch up with things before I set up the dd.   Thats okay.  Still Getting Things Done

As you might have guessed, that didn't happen    or at least it hasn't happened yet, though I *did* fill a whole black bin bag with grass - loooong grass, too.  I really can't abandon the garden for 2 months during the summer and expect that it will be fine

Money has arrived in Principality, but it looks like they're not used to changing money around between accounts, so I can't just do it, I have to send a "request", which they might refuse  compared to the hassle of opening a new account, I'm just going to suck that up   

Things are pootling along, I'm getting there.

KC... You are certainly on the ball at the moment with that list of yours, it's getting ticked off nicely right now.  Don't overdo it though 😊   Wish I could have collected that grass from you today because my hens would have thought all their Christmas's had come at once having a black bin bag full of it, they would have dived straight in.

Glad you are managing your healthy walks too.
