It sounds as if you’re making progress. 👍

It sounds like that............
Today we had the amazing and kind plumber around, from 9.30 till12.30. More gunk had been dislodged and blocked everything, he changed some pipes round and now it all flows beautifully. Such a relief. 
Had lunch and basically fell asleep for a couple of hours. Then it was a bit dark outside but using my amazing new outdoor solar powered lights I did a bit in the shed. I wanted to do more but it is ok. Am not exhausted and can do some work after dinner. 
Goal by the end of Isolation. Only got till Wednesday. 
1. Shed figured out 
2. Room moved round
3. Conservatory rearranged.
Might be possible to manage the shed tomorrow morning. 
Well at least have the stuff I am keeping in the right place. Then perhaps some of the conservatory. It is hard cos I send in cover work and set online lessons but don't get any responses till late in the evening so do the marking and answering questions then. I do have exams to mark. Am grateful I don't yet have to do live lessons. I can't just sit on my bum all day. It is boring. And makes me feel guilty. 
Am starving.

Only managed washing yesterday, after a week without a washing machine am glad I only have one load - also I had empty drawers - so I do wear what I have if you see what I mean. Marie Kondo is slowly paying off! 
I am off out into the garden to sort the rabbits for winter (big plastic sheet situation) and just moving stuff to the shed. I am going to forget about school for today, I couldn't sleep last night and am sick to death of worrying about it.

Ok, today I felt better. A day out in the garden did me good, I made loads of progress, rubbish is being collected tomorrow, gave away all my hamster and gerbil related stuff on fb for free. And a fish pump (which I hope works) and the wire i used on the old rabbit house (has been redone load better). The give away has been over the last few days but it was today I finally saw the space I made! 
I made a new raised bed and put it in position, filled it with my veg pots, as in the ones I used this year. Need to carry on tomorrow. Could finish a lot tomorrow and it is the last non rainy day for a while. Need to carry on water proofing the rabbits, empty the shed and rearrange for the millionth time  so I can keep the stuff I use near the front along with the stuff I no longer need to keep plus the stuff I am moving out there. Now it has (solar powered) lights I can work out there after dark if I don't get finished. 
I feel..........good. as tho things are changing. I have tried so hard this year to clear things up, to go through every single thing I own (bar some stuff in the loft that I already know I want to keep) and keep on top of the money. Covid has meant so many plans have disappeared but really I am ok. Got to be optimistic about vaccines and the future. The spring will be here and I intend to be ready for it.

Good to hear you sounding so upbeat. I think we’re on the home stretch now Covid wise. Just heard on the news about another vaccine approved. We just need to get through the winter and then we can start to slowly rebuild our lives.

Yeah, I felt good yesterday, I feel all unsettled now the rubbish has gone. I always do this, worry I would have thrown away something important. (really what would be so important?) 
I did finally part with some things I should have got rid of years ago. and that is hard but am ok XXX

Thanks Milann XX 
For the first time in 5 years I have a fully insulated and rain proof rabbit house. The previous occupants came in the second winter I had them.... I actually feel like I might be a decent owner! 
Due the wrapping the enclosure in plastic (with air gaps, don't panic, they won't suffocate) which sounds simple but really was agony and almost reduced me to tears at one point I didn't get much else done. Still, small furries are safe from the wind and rain. 
One upsetting thing which is silly but I am going to tell you any way. My best friend's lovely parents gave us a house plant when my parents first moved here........a long time ago now and it has been damaged by the frost. I think it might be good night Vienna for it and it is almost 20 years old. I had to move all my beloved house plants out cos basically they annoyed Mum in the summer ( I have quire few, and some are big..) and I was going to bring this plant in but I forgot. It is a Jade plant. I suspect I can cut it back and it will grow again......But I don't know where to put it.
