That's interesting @KajiKita, I have about 1.5 inches of grey space on the left and there's about 4 inches on the right - at the top of the right hand side there are some quick links which is why there's 4 inches of blankness underneath. I've just upgraded my to a larger screen by 2 inches so it looks a lot better than the 13 inch screen and not so annoying."Think of many things, do one"

I've set up a g00gle bookmark for my bookmarks - so that is letting me get back to them quicker than easier than doing it directly on the site which is ridiculous but works.Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

I'm still trying to figure out why it says I have 8 more bookmarked threads than I actually have. I did think for a mo that it might have added my own threads but it is still 2 out.

My bookmarked threads seem okay, there's 6 on the second page.
I like the idea of bookmarking the threads in the browser though.

Looks like I have forgotten about my goals again, but I have been working on them even though I've not been doing the report:
1. Environment e.g. decluttering your space
- on the back burner slightly for the moment
2. Family / Health work-life balance
- always at the front of my mind these days, its precious
3. Physical Health
- really been concentrating on this one and its going well
4. Financial
- not going bad, but could do better
5. Learning
- working on this
6. Career
- this has been happening while just doing a good job
7. Social
- mainly linked to my physical health, but also my hobbies
8. Spiritual / Personal Growth / Inner Peace
- love that this is coming together, but really its a major goal along with 2.

I've just discovered that if I alter the width of the window the quick links move below the thread and the gaps disappear!
Small things, but happiness
I've booked a half day next week to do a spring/summer clean. There seem to be a lot of dusty skirting boards and smeary windows that need tackling. I'd rather be doing something a little more fun, but it always feels good when everything is sparkling. I could really do with a list of weekly jobs to print off and then I could allocate some to MrShores more easily - he's very much still in training
