Everyone is doing so well!
On my list of 10 things I've done 3 and also one extra1) Painted the wall where I spilt red wine2) Put up a picture in the living room with the help of my mum3) Put up the remaining 3 dining chairs with the help of my brother4) Put together the magnetic knife block so my knives have somewhere to live. This sounds like it should have been simple but the screw holes were too small and it was a nightmare!
I've begun looking into blinds for my bedroom and sent off for a fabric sample.
I do feel a bit more motivated and less mentally overwhelmed having now done a few things. I'm off work next week so hope to tick a few more things off my list.Mortgage at 30: £204,750 (08/2020)
Current mortgage: £145,448 (11/2024)
Goal: £145,000 by 02/2025
End goal: Mortgage free asap!15 -

4 walks again this week. Not ready to increase it to 5 yet however I managed a further distance than usual on yesterday’s outing.
Friday Frog started. I may not get it finished today but have emailed what I have actually managed to do so that in itself has relieved the pressure a bit.Avocados and salad arrived yesterday however the avocados are rock hard so smoothies will not be possible just yet. May have to turn the leaves into soup instead. Best laid plans …
Off now for a peppermint tea and hm sweet potato brownie.Decluttering Awards: 🏅🏅15 -
