The shelf is a great idea, it's always good to see what you've created on display.
Hopefully DH managed to find a gazebo and if not DD will have her gathering another day.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.5 -
Hi SH. I loved your photos. Spring is my favourite season - everything springs into amazing life - although I'm not too impressed with all the rain and hail stones today. I love to see those art shelves - I think its great you can swap things over and have a change around anytime - very good for an indecisive person like me. I too am a big fan of a tidy room, though the Shores' House is still a work in progress, we are getting there. Apparently if you have lots of clutter around it makes it hard for your brain to relax as its constantly focussing on the clutter. Makes sense but I'm a terrible clutterbug though. I'm also a ditherer, so dither about throwing things away"Think of many things, do one"

Wow you've been smashing that credit card, well done!
So glad you've been having lovely walk, the photos are glorious.
Hope you're having a great weekend, H x6 -
Thanks guys. DH saved the day and got some sort of weird gazebo type thing from Mr A for £40 - and teamed that with the 3m parasol I bought last year. So DD's garden event went ahead despite it hammering down with rain. I went back to church (in a car park) today for the first time in a while. It was good to reconnect with people.Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

DD would have enjoyed it whatever the weather.
I'm hoping you're reconnecting with yourself and finding the right balance with everything you've going on.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.7 -
Thanks MF. Life continues to be challenging. I've been in the office twice this week - so I can see some of my work friends and get some support as much as anything else. I ended up working super later tonight though - but have a day off at the end of the week so things should balance out.Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

Well I wrote and delivered 2 workshops this week so proud of self. They went really well. Exhausted now though. Done 4 days work in 3 days. Friday I am off though and get to venture into Wales to NT garden. Looking forward to that.
DH paid tomorrow too so may be he will get around to paying the CC like I asked after I was paid last Friday!!Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

Well done on your 2 workshops, have a lovely time at the NT garden. Wales is wild at the moment so bring your waterproofs!
Have a lovely weekend, H x4 -
Sounds like you've earned your day off. Hope you have a lovely trip to the NT garden.5
