Cheery's path to fulfilment - finishing the DIY, looking after myself, appreciating the garden 🌻

Well done, Cheery, for resolving this for yourself and also for the change to clearer wording for future customers. I'm glad you can now draw a line under this issue and enjoy the rest of your holiday.

Well done for persevering and getting such a positive result for you and others.  Hopefully you can lay that aside and get your other annoying bits out of the way and enjoy your birthday x

Bravo!! 👏 😊
And you now know how to tackle tasks like this … wait until you’re Hangry! 😉😂

Thank you all! And yes @KajiKita waiting til I was hangry was a good strategy 😂

I am doing nice holiday activities, but the promotions form is hanging over my head somewhat 🙄 trying to chip away a little every day, but it does feel like it's spoiling my holiday. Of course if I just finished it, I wouldn't have to think about it any more... 😬 easier said than done of course! 

I keep trying to remind myself this is a big part of my longer term retirement strategy - get paid more and work less 😂

Can't change what I've actually done or not at this point, but I CAN write about what I've done to the best of my ability to give myself the best chance. 

Right, best stop waffling about it and crack on. I want to spend the bulk of tomorrow in the garden and I can't if I don't get this done!

Sending you BICHOK vibes! 💪

Ha, thank you! Although "you've done something misleading and I'm not paying for it" feels somehow easier than "here are all the reasons why you should give me a significant pay rise" 😬😂

I'm getting there though. It's getting easier the more I work on it, proving, yet again, that I do myself no favours by hiding my head under a rock!

I find the same when I am starting to prep for interviews and dealing with recruiters at the start of one of my never ending job searches … Starts creakily and with blushes and missteps and then settles down into a flow and I almost believe how good I am telling everyone I am … 😉😂

Well I have been both impressed and inspired by your success! 😊

Didn't stop til 10pm but have made good progress. Planning to have a printable draft by tomorrow lunchtime. 

Annoyingly we had a fine for driving through a clean air zone. Very annoying - I was absolutely convinced we hadn't gone past a sign, and I was SO convinced that I didn't bother to bloody look 🙄 that'll teach me 🙄 so that needs paying tomorrow before it doubles. 

So, Mr C is out all day tomorrow, so I need a plan.

8.30-12.30 CAREER
* full draft of job form
* reference for colleague 

12.30-1.30 LUNCH & ADMIN
* lunch
* pay fine
* reply to LPG
* put washing on

1.30-4.30 GARDEN
* hang washing out
* mow
* strim
* bag stuff for tip
* shift stones for paths
* start to shift topsoil 

4.30-6.30 CRAFT
* next 3 curtains (!)

We'll see after that. Need to go to the supermarket for the weekend's food and cake supplies, but Mr C might do that Friday morning. I might carry on with the curtains, or I might be in need of a nice hot bath!
