Thank you @DancingInTheRain.
I've made yet more progress into sorting the room of doom known as my daughters room! 🤣. I have spent a fair few hours today building flat pack furniture and whilst there seems still so much to do I can slowly start seeing it shape up. Tomorrow will be building the wardrobe and then computer / dressing table, if it arrives (should have been today and note I need to claim the next day delivery fee - only a fiver but still.) Although it was probably a blessing it didn't arrive today tbh.
I've also cancelled my YNAB subscription, I am just not really feeling the benefits of tbh now that my spreadsheet is all properly done and up to date. I pay monthly for it so I have now cancelled this. I have also done a bit of thinking around what we do with the spare funds we have and I think whilst yes it is great just saving it, I want to start making the house more clutter free and making the most of the space we have so there will be a few purchases over the next few months in hopes that we can free up space in our kitchen. We knew it was tiny and was a sacrifice we were happy to make but in practice it is just so cluttered.
I also managed to get another work call today too. Can tell I am closer to getting back.
