Ninety months to pay off mortgage - or as near as dammit!

I don’t have a cat flap SH, so I get to spend lots of time in the garden calling my cat…

I did most of the things I planned for today, I haven’t delivered the cards yet and I need to wrap a present for a friend who I am meeting tomorrow evening but feel much more organised. Also used some points towards my shopping today which had bits of DS’s GF pressie so that was a bonus.

I don't have a cat flap but work mainly from home so it's more that the cat taps on the window or door or miaows loudly to get my attention for me to then act as doorman.

Nice when you can use points. I used some of the cash from the fridge freezer sale towards art supplies which was nice today and a gift voucher towards fancier food yesterday. Nice feeling.

Present wrapped and I found lovely cards I bought earlier in the year for buttons when paperch@$e was closing down🎉

My cat makes herself heard too SH🎉

I’m off now until after Christmas 🎉 still have a few bits and bobs to do but most people seem less organised this year. Plan is to get them sorted tomorrow then just chill…

Got up for parkrun but it’s blowing a gale and pouring, also still quite dark so not today😂

Today I shall finish shopping and wrap all presents. Then tomorrow I’ll rest. Friend is popping over this afternoon to do present swap so I must check theirs are all wrapped.

How’s the new job working out? You don’t mention it much so I hope it’s going better than your old one ….

It’s ok thanks, some good days some not so good. It’s been a good week though and I have managed to get out on a couple of trips. Lots of people leaving so short staffed like everywhere in social care really and manager alternating between lovely and demonic so the jury is still out! The residents are mainly lovely and it’s been great learning all their stories, some interesting lives have been led. My team are great but we tend to only be in together a couple of times a week.

Hmmm … sounds like something of a curate’s egg ….

Enjoy your break.
