    They had me at helpful scripts Cherry. Thanks I'm going to add that to my list. And hopefully it encourages the algorithm to send me more of the same.

    Sitting outside (in October!), the coffee shop is in a shipping container. Am staying at my sister's to look after the cat while they're away, so am basically on holiday in the posh part of town.

    I've been reading Sidetracked Home Executives to try and establish a regular tasks system. Now that I am finishing up at the coal mine (3 days to go!!!) I hope that my time can be better distributed.

    ETA the next thing is to have a nosy in the charity shops for a winter coat and some trousers.

    Turned the wrong way as I came out of the old railway line and so ended up at the posh charity shop first. No luck there although one potential coat. Was spoiled though with all the labels and natural fibres and couldn't see past all the polyester in the other one.

    Today I managed to work 40 minutes over my time. Did I claim it as overtime? Nope. Will I enjoy a nice long cup of tea and cake tomorrow? Yup.

    Have finished Sidetracked Home Executives (thanks to bath no 2) and have food for thought. My life is so disconnected and random. I have way too many unfinished projects and there is no room for day to day life.

    I have been to b and q twice this week and so far not ventured into the garden centre. Miraculous.

    This morning's purchase was three clear containers for the kitchen in my sister's house. I've been cleaning bits and pieces while I'm staying there. I mean literally bits. Last night I cleaned one third of the sink counter in the bathroom. I was thinking I wouldn't need to buy anything as I have been encountering containers as I go but they have all been earmarked for something. And the kitchen makes my eye twitch so that needs containers.

    Penultimate day. Slightly sad but honestly have been realising how much my mood has been affected in this job. It has been very lowering, never getting anything finished, following random rules plucked out of nowhere, always going after more more more.
