A storm of emotion this week. The motor home has gone, and SS1 got her to fire up before she left which was lovely.

Thank you - in a lot of ways busy is better for me and how my head works.
That said, I am a little overwhelmed with peopling now. Today is scaffolding and SS2, and will sort the transfer of bike 3 to him while he is here. Tomorrow the oven being installed hopefully. Tuesday bikes 1 and 2 are being collected, and then the roofer starts on Wednesday.
Today or Monday I need to drop off the V5 for his car with the garage (had to transfer to me but it only took 3 days to arrive).Lots of financial stuff updated yesterday. I want to do a list of what type of thing and how long it took for decisions etc in case it helps someone in the future.My mortgage free diary: +++ Divide by Cucumber Error.

Not surprised you're overwhelming - that's a lot of peopling at the best of times! Hope you get a bit of a break soon, although I do appreciate what you say about being busy xx4

Sending lots of supportive vibes for all you peopling! They are trying at the best of times, let alone so many in quick succession. 😁😁😁4 YEARS 10 MONTHS DEBT FREE!!!

Absolutely agree. Not only lots of peopling but also tedious admin tasks too. Hope you have a list somewhere with lots of ticks so you can congratulate yourself on how many and how quickly you are whistling through these tasks. Your idea of a list to help others is brilliant and I’m sure would be much appreciated.rtandon27 said:Sending lots of supportive vibes for all you peopling!
