We’ve had a really productive weekend, sorted small boys room and took loads of stuff out of storage. There’s mostly tools and firewood in there now, both of which could be sorted with a bit of a push. Luckily the storage isn’t costing us anything otherwise I think we would have had a more concerted effort!MFW 2021 #76 £5,145

Good purchase today- patio for £50 off FB! We are not in a position to lay it this year so it’s currently leaning up outside but that’s saved us £600 or so. I do wonder why I paid to go to the gym yesterday when I could just hoik slabs around after work 🥱MFW 2021 #76 £5,145
