Walking into another chapter ...

Oh that sounds perfect - much needed at the start of the holidays! I am off to Corfu on Sunday for a week so really looking forward to lots of relaxing there☀️

Morning, I've started the holidays off with a nice walk along the beach, todays 10,000 steps are already done and dusted, I've done a block of 25 squats and 1 plank, I'll do the rest through the day.
Now going to have egg on toast for breakfast then get some of the easy wins knocked off the list - my bed has also been stripped and I'm just waiting for ds' friend to wake up so I can put the washing machine on, (she sleeps on the sofa downstairs). 

I realised I haven't added any financial things on my to do list - I already have fairly good saving patterns each month, if I can make some extra here and there it will be added into the pot but I don't have much for Vinted / Marketplace etc this year so not expecting much, although the footie starts again next month so maybe there will be some matched betting money to come. 

I might do a couple of trips to the tip today too, again another of those things that isn't on the list but will probably happen anyway over the next few weeks.

Well, all my daily tasks are done (10k steps, 5 x 1 minute planks, 100 x squats, 2 litres water and supplements). I have had a super busy day but not really done anything from the list   

Ds and his friend have been doing his room - all furniture is now out, most has gone to the tip, some is still waiting to go. Carpet has been ripped up, new bed and mattress ordered and being delivered on Friday, new carpet ordered and being fitted Friday morning. Currently they are sanding the skirting boards and prepping the walls, before giving the ceiling a coat of paint tonight. I have just got back from B&Q with the paint. I've done 4 trips to the tip today. 

I did a Sainsburys trip too, we had fajitas for dinner and I've cleared that up. Feels like we haven't stopped today but the house looks a tip, but all his stuff had to be moved out of his room, so most of it is in my room at the moment. 

I have remade my bed so that will be nice to get into tonight, my legs feel tired tonight, shows how unfit I have got. 
I have ordered the End of Life planning book from Amazon, ready to start filling that in.

Another busy day with very little achieved from the list

All the daily tasks have been done, I've also done a trip to Ikea for drawers for ds bedroom, a trip to my Aunts bungalow to collect post, spent a few hours with Mum and have not done much else. Pub quiz tonight, so am off out soon to meet up with friends. 

Tomorrow we have an appointment with the registrar to register the death, then we need to sort out arrangements for her service. Carpet being fitted tomorrow, bed arriving tomorrow, drawers to be made (flatpack) tomorrow and I need to go birthday shopping as ds birthday is on Saturday and I haven't even got a cad yet. His room is part of his present, I'll get a voucher for JD Sports probably too ... looking like another busy one

And another busy one, daily tasks are almost complete, nothing done from the main list though.

Today the following has been achieved though:

Registered my Aunts death
Built ds new bed 
Built 2 sets of drawers
Built a small shelving unit
Ds carpet has been fitted
Seen Mum
Been birthday shopping for ds
Moved everything back in to ds bedroom
Attempted to make a start on getting the house back to normal

In a bit I am going to have a bath, other than that I need to wrap ds presents, do the last plank of the day and break up tonnes of cardboard packaging ready for yet another tip run.

Gosh, not sure where the last week disappeared to but I have been doing all my daily targets (steps, planks, squats, water and vitamins). 

Ds room is finished, his birthday has been and gone, the funeral has been planned and booked for next Thursday, a lovely day out with a friend was had yesterday, eye test and mammogram have been booked - eye test is today so just had a shower and will be off for that in a bit. 

Not much has happened from the big to do list though. Each day feels productive and busy but those things just haven't happened yet. This morning was bin day, so I have cleaned the food bin and the big black bin, the recycling bin will be next week, so at least that's two things ticked off the list today already. The weather isn't looking great today so once I've had my eye test I might crack on with some of the duller jobs indoors today.

I also need to sort the banking as it is the last day of the month.

Eyes haven't changed but I did need to get a new pair of glasses as mine are broken (taped together). I am on their rewards plan so get them half price (allegedly), but still cost me £170  It's ticked off for another year though and I will see if I qualify for any money back via work, I think last time they paid about £50 of it. 

I got some more vitamins as I had just about run out of some, a card for my brother and a few bits in Tesco. Off to look at bank accounts ...

Morning, birthday here yesterday, had a lovely day down the beach with a friend and had lunch out, feel thoroughly spoiled. I was given lots of lovely things, a couple of beautiful new plants, some smellies, some money and chocolate

Today sees some football return, so feeling happy here right now. This morning I am going to tackle a few jobs from the list, not planning on going far today, maybe a wander down the beach later on but first I need to see some progress on the list as it hasn't really happened as yet

Coffee has been drunk, banking checked, vitamins taken and the first lot of squats done. Time to face the day!
