Working out of non traditional spaces (home/office) is quite the thing these days. Planes, trains, automabiles, offee shops, hotel lobbies, etc I've done them all. Although not a library actually!! Must try harder

Thanks Mark88, I am used to working in non traditional spaces too. The trick is to find a place to work in where you can work and not have to spend money on several coffees. I also don’t want to spend money on travel to get there. I got lucky at the library but it was not in the study area (small and crowded) I found a chair elsewhere in the library with a table. The only one! I doubt that luck will hold day in and day out.
Next week I will be exploring other options

Glad that the library worked out well for you

Just shows looking better makes me feel better

Very true! I far prefer spending money on things that I know will last that I do genuinely love/ feel confident in. I do sometimes get the odd bits and pieces in Primark but they always wear out really quickly. I'm sure I read about charity shops having to reject some clothes from the likes of Primark as the quality was too poor to sell on.

Better to spend a bit more and know you have something you really like that will last you. I echo the people saying that it's more MSE that way. Also you waited till what you wanted was in the sale, so really very sensible.

Some people can be very judgy when there's no need!

Hope tomorrow goes well with the window work

Thanks lonelyrat. I know things have been tough for you lately so thanks for taking the time to post. I am feeling very nervy about the window work tomorrow but hopefully it will all go well and I can breathe out on Tuesday

Positive window vibes for tomorrow

doingitanyway

Done
Car moved up the street so the van can get onto the drive

The room has been cleared

All the bins are at the back of the house

The blinds have been taken down and are awful so they will be taken to the recycling and dumped

Tea and cow’s milk in for the workmen

Loo cleaned and presentable

Food prepped in the fridge so I don’t have to cook anything

Checked funds are in place and prepared cheque

Do
Speak to a neighbour and ask if he can check windows before the workmen leave

Take curtains down on patio doors so the fault can be fixed

Take rescue remedy

Burn a calming oil

Use stress energy to clean the kitchen and bathroom with steam cleaner

When workmen leave take a walk and return parcel

When back from PO call a friend with a cup of tea and talk through the day

Looks like a very sound plan to get you and the workmen through the day as stress free as possible

Hope today goes well - just think, but this time next week you'll have tidied up, rearranged and have a whole new bit of the house that makes you feel happy

I've had a chat with someone about doing a whole lot of small bits and pieces. There is a massive gap in the market for people to do odd jobs... Yes, I coulc do them all myself, but I don't have the time!
