Hope the day is ending with nice comforting enjoyable things.
If you have time and motivation this week, maybe contact the hedge company and ask for their record/recollection of what was agreed and by whom. If not, then the job has been done and the leftovers are manageable, these things happen.
Well done for being a brilliant Ms VNM and using your excellent skills to help him and bring about your next phase of nice future together.
And well done to WattyDog for his dedicated work 🫡https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase/p1

What a nightmare Monday was... and coping with all that will have taken its toll on Tuesday.
Here's to some quality rest tonight, and tomorrow is a whole new day.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Love the positive, cheering "wonderful waggy Wednesday" comments
Worked until almost 9 pm yesterday. Only stopped for meals and to go to osteopath. Now feel a bit more on top of things. Work is super busy and I am grateful for that as it is what is helping heal the financial damage from PPH. Have reviewed messages from gardeners and am still at a loss but the price was what I agreed so all good. I think I just spaced what was going on. That has happened a few times recently. The waste is piled up on the back drive and we can put in the green bins each fortnight, it will get dealt with in the end.
Daisy's question about when the overage runs out made me realise just how much I have achieved in 4 years. I sat down with VNM after work and we chatted about just how much has happened since my first hearing in chambers with PPH. Everything in my life is different, no wonder I get overwhelmed at times.
Today is course teaching and more work and a wonderful gift from the universe. Someone has just messaged to ask if they can sign up despite us being a third way through - and at full price - so that will pay 2/3rds gardeners!.
Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!11 -

That's brilliant Watty!
Re: the amount of work, could it be time to take on more help? I'm not sure how but possibly a role that would handle 'estate management' as well as aspects of income-producing work?I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
