Great OP.
No wonder you are tired.

Hopefully tomorrow will be a bit more sensible! 😉😂

I am targeting an outstanding balance of £250K by next May, when we will start looking at remortgaging options - currently on £265K. If we can get to £250K that should be comfortably 50% LTV which should help with better options, I hope! 🤞😊

Absolutely shattered, but the patio door is in and the house is whole again! 😊🤩🎉🥳

Done so much cleaning today.
Deep cleaned a whole run of worktop in the kitchen including right into the corners at both ends, de-crumbed and polished the chrome toaster, scrubbed the utensils pot and knife block and washed all my free weights! 😉 Rehomed the onions, shallots, garlic box inside a cupboard instead of on top of the worktop directly under one the under unit lights - I am hoping this might make the alliums less sprouty! 

Deep cleaned the bathroom including getting up on steps and wiping down the walls at cleaning height to shift some black mould that was starting. 

Helped Mr KK with all the deep dust cleaning that was needed after all the demolition works! Lots of vacuuming and wet dusting. 

Strained lots of bits of me helping shift rubble, lift glazed door units, help fight with huge steel lintel etc etc. I was already shattered after yesterday - when the cat came in demanding breakfast this morning I picked her up for her usual ‘food cuddle tax’ and my little cat seemed to weigh twice as much as normal - my muscles are pooped! 😂

Tomorrow, I hope, will be a little saner …..!

I am currently sat in the lounge enjoying the view through the new patio doors … okay there are thunking great acro props, bits of wood, random screw and accessories etc. in that view and the doors are filthy from all the dust, but I am getting a sense of the view! 😂😉
<Mystic Meg tones on> I see a large and beautiful pot in my future, filled with beautiful things, such as lavender and other pretties to attract insects  …..<Mystic Meg tones off> 😊

In the meantime, when one is being sensible about one’s prospects for the day …..
Those patio door windows need CLEANING! I think I will actually quite enjoy that job 😊 Cleaning the pvc rather less so, but the sill and the frame came up really well actually - somehow, I have a big spray bottle of  specific uPVC cleaner under the kitchen sink (I really can’t remember where from) and it does seem to make a difference. 

I must move possessions and stuff around the house, back to more logical locations again, so we can slide effectively back into our respective part-working weeks (Mr KK will be doing just 3 days as he is off on Friday for the weekend to Beaulieau with his best man) and me 4 days before A WEEK OFF!!!! 😊🤩🎉 I might be looking forward to this just a bit … 😉).
Possibly do some planting of the plants I bought on Friday. 

Dry Mr KK’s washing - I am expecting at least two loads to wrangle. He’s had a very dusty few days! 

Definitely pick runner beans and blackberries (the birds don’t seem to eat them here so I might as well 😊). 

Some reading, tapestry and chilling 😊
