Learning to walk before I run

Thank goodness Halloween is over! DD2 (3) went guising for the first time and while she had a blast, she was up far too late and became a massive rage baby

Month-end statistics looking fantastic, very much thanks to the generosity of those who have gone before us and stock market increases. We almost hit +£19,000 for the month  

Hoping for a quieter day today - a wee bit of overtime, tidying up and starting to think about getting the house clean for the next major holiday I'll also pick up some low noise fireworks today before they all sell out.

£6.09 OPed (small amount of savings interest, cashback for buying DD1's new winter jacket, virement).

I am smugly productive, feel like my brain (or my will to be *****) is expanding like a flower as the reality that I'm getting away from a job that has ground me into a fine dust sinks in. Finishing jobs that have been put off for a year or more.

• Random carp including a paddling pool, a sensory toy that's meant to be filled with water and scared the bleep out of me, foam board, fans and an old buggy put up in the attic cupboards.
• Halloween decorations down.
• Two broken suitcases taken out of the attic, tip slot booked for them, an old cat tree and 2 bags of WEEE recycling tomorrow morning.
• DD1 made to take all of her random nonsense sitting around the house away.
• Flickering downlight bulb changed in DD1's room.
• Big bag of secure shredding added to my work laptop for disposal next week. 
• T-shirt returned to big river.
• Kitchen tidied.

I also took the girls out for ice cream, got fireworks for Guy Fawkes and gave Mrs E a bit of a break this morning.

It makes me so happy to read that you are ‘opening up’ and becoming re-energised. It just shows quite how much of your head space and energy that job was robbing from you. I bet Mrs Ed has noticed a difference too 😊
