    Hey @jwil your diary has been my reading for the weekend. I’m finally caught up, it was a crazy couple of months before the holidays wasn’t it. I had the same with May as she’s going to high school in sept. There were so many things to go to. So glad you’ve got the bathroom done. I really need to pull my finger out and get ours done. Love reading your diary Keep on plodding.

    Lovely to 'see' you again Missy! :)  Hope all is well with you.  Good luck with May moving to high school, they are growing up!

    I did get a load of listing done yesterday which is good, fingers crossed for some sales!  The blooming toilet blocked again though, so I gave up after that. So flipping fed up with that!  I never thought I'd miss the old toilet!

    Short week for me this week, as I've got Wednesday off. Assuming we aren't up to our elbows in toilet waste, we hope to do something.  At the weekend we need to find homes for everything that needs to move while the electrics are done next week.  At this stage I think I'd quite like to win PBs or the lottery this week so we can move to a fully renovated house.  I'm sure all the pain will be worth it in the end!

    I’m on my 1427 day streak with Duolingo learning Spanish. I enjoy it on the whole. Thought about brushing up my French and German. Tried Greek but abandoned when it started going into another alphabet 😬

    I’m like you I get up early but go to bed early too.

    That's brilliant!  Do you find it works to improve your language skills?
