In the Meantime

Thanks @jwil @mark55man @MovingForwards @savingholmes @Seasidegal58

I was too tired to travel today so my admin day has moved to tomorrow. I will leave very early in the morning. 
I hadn't realised just how tired I was but as the fluid on my lungs lessens I feel a bit less tired. I need to go back to frogs and pick up the pace as the closer I get to the house becoming reality the more resistant I become and there is quite a lot to be done...

A friend offered me a beautiful cane bedhead and also a standing lamp. Both are very much appreciated 

Today

• messaged a friend for froggy conversation at the weekend.
• called EA to check all is ok 

So tomorrow

• send off forms for M and take to PO
• finish setting up account
• check GG ac add additional
• check on sol.
• get savings up to £500 to go towards house costs

Monday

• print off docs and take to PO
• Phone and check exact sum minus tax

I hope everyone is ok

Don't forget there's a postal strike looming, so if possible try to get ahead on anything that needs to be posted. So far it's 26 and 31 August and 8 and 9 September, but there are rumblings of further dates.

Always nice to get freebies if they are to your taste.

Always nice to get freebies even if they are not to your taste (but too many can be problematic

A really helpful post. I tried to get ahead today and also diarised the strike dates. Thank you

Thanks @mark55man and @savingholmes. I am very careful about accumulating things, but the 2 items I am being gifted are very much to my taste.

Up early and travelled back from house sitting to catch up on post and life admin. It was a bit of a slog as no trains!

I received CC statement and I am in credit 

Today I completed yesterday's list.

• send off forms for M and take to PO
• finish setting up account
• check GG ac add additional
• check on sol.
• get savings up to £500 to go towards house costs (£300/£500 saved)

In addition I:

• sorted out a problem with my phone data
• sorted out my travel arrangements and tickets for Devon
• software updated devices

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend

Thanks @savingholmes @beanielou @MovingForwards @jwil for the encouragement.
It is funny my brain can't seem to organise itself without a list of action of some description! I do so much better with a list!

Friend is back from driving abroad today so I have made a chicken chorizo dish and rice. I chose a nice bottle of wine at the sm. Going to have a quick tidy through in a bit. 

Spoke to a friend abroad. She helped me think through a problem. 

Tomorrow the priority is:

• chasing a financial organisation to check what is available
• chasing another financial organisation who have failed to do what they said they would. 
• converting PB

I might need to go to the new area next week to meet with the surveyor, provide some info to the solicitor and do a second viewing. Will see if my friend is free to come with me. I trust my friend who has a good eye re houses and is good at picking up things I might miss.

I hope everyone is having a good Sunday.
