2020++ - smiling and waving and looking so fine

As long as it was not a tantrum in a teabag you'll be fine, and can still dispense your wisdom with abandon.

Here is a catch up report

1. Steps:  1.06/2.5million steps this year - 2 days behind target   
2. Weight a little up so 6/24 for target 1 (Under 17st)  - At least I only gained a few lbs in my month off
3. Exercise - 5km in 48'52" on treadmill  - 2km in 9':23.8 on the C2 Rowing Machine  - Membership paused while its summer
4. Savings - £6000 / £10,800 - juggling savings is my new hobby
5. Retirement-Day - 10 months to go (Stopped using Actual Working Days to go as was getting confused so now just doing weeks

Also ate a frog and will be getting £600 rebate from my energy supplier as coming into summer with 2 less adults in the house, I was over £1000 in credit.

'juggling savings is my new hobby' made me laugh 

Well done with the frog.

Thank you

Having a quieter week at work than the last few - which is good as May was intense, meant I could reach out to a few people so that I could pay back some favours, and do that corporate stuff that I won't miss at all, but is still important for getting on

Enjoyed a coffee out in the garden with OH - still stuff to do but was good and shady whilst also being warm - luxury

I need to restart my exercise Mojo and restart the diet - a much better hobby than the one I suggested above

A busy weekend cleaning out the rooms formerly occupied by DS1 - did a good job, but still not quite good enough for moving in of his sibling & +1

Good weekend all

Sounds like it's still full on at home

I know its never ending - or in my case never starting

SH, you are much further ahead in your journey tp decluttering / tidy.  The fact is I don't enjoy that suff and I'm not naturally tidy-minded - everything I throw away reminds me of the mistake I made in buying it, and the risk we might need it (which has happened almost every time we have made a start).  The above is all a pants excuse really, I just need to get going and it is really motivating to see the difference its made to you

Thanks Mark. I feel lighter as stuff leaves. Less nagging things in my eyeline
