That's rich coming from your neighbour after she told you that her and OH do the cleaning I'm glad you told her some home truths! Plus the fact you all pay anyway to have the communal areas cleaned. In my block of flats we all pay to have these cleaned as well. The only time I ever clean out there is if I've had a tradesman in and they've made a bit of a mess walking through the hall. I vacuum then but certainly don't do it the rest of the time!
Great news though on the extra time off from work! That's wonderful! And thumbs up to your CEO on the party!👍Finally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟

Today the caretakers and the gardeners arrived but neighbour was still out brushing up outside 🙇🏻♀️.
I have changed my mobile provider to plusnet mobile £6 for 4.5GB , unlimited calls and texts . £35 topcashback so win win.I am getting lots of Yougov surveys and am past the halfway stage now which is good.Work has been a lot quieter today , steady is the way I like it.Have ordered a gift from a local business to help out , so will see what I think when it arrives .I am being asked what I want for Christmas but I am not sure I want anything . My parents usually pay for a holiday but they are all paid for next year due to being rebooked .
I need to have a think.Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.3 -
That’s a great deal for the mobile especially with the cash back 👍 Why not ask for something you’d like but wouldn’t buy yourself for Christmas. I often ask DD to get me a cookbook that I’d quite like but wouldn’t buy myself. One year I gave her a list of books I wanted to read so she could choose however many she wanted depending on how much she wanted to spend. She misunderstood and bought the lot 😂I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2

Booked the day of today to meet my friend for a walk, have dug out my winter walking stuff for the occasion. Going to the farm shop after for a takeaway coffee , if it rains that's ok just glad to be outside.This week I have felt very isolated and made the decision to get out for a change of scenery . During this past 8 weeks I have lost a stone in weight so I am back to my normal weight now but I am feeling much healthier . Just not had crisps, chocolate, biscuits etc and upped my veg intake , always been a fruit eater .Need the gym to reopen in January then I will be back, looking to lose another stone by next summer .My phone swap went well no issues , and I think they have extended the offer to December so may try and put my dad on it as well.Breakfast time .Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.3
