    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☀️
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    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  :D 

    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.
