    Another productive day with the skip. Managed to clear a lot out of the garage. Fixed the shed felt as it had blown off in the wind and arranged the lights.

    I put the washing line away as it is retractable and probably not likely to be used now until spring. I then sorted the coats and got rid of four that DD and I will never wear. Donated to a charity nearby. I also binned some shoes I don't wear and donated DD's trainers that are too small.

    DD volunteered today. I had the DIY man in putting pictures up and helping me get on top of the garage.

    Got a power down tonight at 6pm so will be doing my best to make sure I save so I get one more free electricity hour.

    As I was thinking about trying to get more work in, I got a message asking me for more availability as there are jobs coming in. Hopefully that will mean I pick up the additional money I need.

    Project bathroom starts tomorrow. I removed all products from it so it can just be started straight away.

    Hope everyone has had a lovely day

    I love having a skip. I’m starting to accumulate enough things that don’t warrant a skip but maybe a large wheelie bin. They’re a lot cheaper apparently.

    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping) -.literally have been run over by a bike, mobility scooter and a car - still here 💪

    They are. With the bathroom and garage, I had enough for a small skip. I have made sure I am putting everything I can that needs to go in it.

    Did some makes today and lots and lots of sorting and organising.

    Ensuite is completely empty now and ready to be put back together!

    Today feels like one of those days where a lot of progress has been made in organising and sorting.

    Here are the makes

    I made some artificial grave pots to sell at the craft fair.
