You have a fridge!

Job applications have not yet started. I have prioritised kitchen/furniture decisions this week.
Fridge is having a small identity crisis and thinks it's a freezer. I christened it with a packet of bacon that is now solid 🤦♂️ However it shall be moved into a warmer room at some point this week.

can't you turn the fridge down in colder weather and back up in warmer weather?

Mystery shop complete and if approved £17 to the black hole bank account.
Sad news today, former colleague died at 57. Was a bit of a shock, especially as I was at work when another ex colleague spotted me and stopped to let me know. She lived alone as well, always makes me think.
Had planned to make today a quiet one but sparky finished off this morning and now stuff is everywhere. I did get my much longed for poang chair as well as the other furniture so really I should figure that out.

Sorry to hear about your ex colleague
You are making progress on your home 😉

Slow painful progress DIA 🤣 Although the frustration comes from my limitations I suppose rather than the progress I'm making. After all, I have no deadlines I have to meet. Other than those of comfort and safety. I could for example avoid the flat entirely except to sleep until I am ready to go again.
Bought a magnetic screen door as it was half price. This is entirely because I don't want to hang the door.
Poang chair was bought for £5. Seriously reconsidered this bargain after a workout trying to get the foam back in the cover. Don't have to wash new stuff!
Mystery shop passed so that will be £17 in the bank.
Sitting drinking a 0% beer while I contemplate my next move. The screen door is staring at me but I'm not sure my arms are up to it.

Sorry to hear about your colleague. May she rest in peace. None of us know when or how we'll go so all we can do is try to enjoy it while we can.
Your place is coming on leaps and bounds, you're doing great getting bits done while you also contend with work and other responsibilities and issues
