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

Well, needless to say it did not stay dry,  and I did not finish 🙄😂 i did shift most of the roof tiles though - the final lot got abandoned in the wheelbarrow as I sheltered from a downpour,  then we decided to go out for a bit instead. 

Pottered round a local town then went for a sausage butty in the cafe in the big supermarket.  Rock and roll indeed. Its been nice to hang out with Mr Cheery this weekend without too many other obligations actually 🥰 we always get on better when we don't actually have to achieve anything 😂

Tomorrow I'm taking the big car to the garage to have the brakes fixed.  And I have a meeting with the person who was mean to me the other week 🙄 and a couple of others, fortunately.  I expect we will all continue to ignore the situation,  which suits me fine 🙄

Got a big deadline on Friday which I think I'll be ready in decent time for,  and another next Monday, which has several others working towards too, so this week might be a bit hectic,  but I'm going to try and eat well, get enough sleep, not go crazy, and have Friday off as usual. Fingers crossed for all of those!

And ingers crossed the car is an easy fix and not too expensive.

Good luck for your week, sounds like it might be quite intense. Protective vibes for the meeting with the mean person and non-clunky vibes for the car brakes 😊

Hope you had a good day RT! I missed our village commemoration yesterday.

I've finished the patio! 😃 Well, finished the tiles anyway - I do need to plonk some stones round the edges and sort out the rest of the space, but that's a job for the rest of the weekend. Really pleased with myself for just pottering and doing it in little bits of time 😊

That is looking really good! What a lovely area to sit out for breakfast or a coffee

Thank you all for your kind thoughts 😊

Today passed without incident,  fortunately.  I was a bit stressed about the meeting this morning before it happened but as expected we all just ignored the childishness and got on with the work.  Not much left to do on that project now, thankfully. 

Car retrieved from garage, front breaks and handbrake fixed,  £260 which I consider a bargain. Need to take it back in a month once its settled in case it needs fine tuning,  and I've booked the other car back in next week as the engine light has come on since the MOT - hopefully just a sensor needs resetting. What a palaver though! I do very much appreciate that garage 🥰 might take them a box of biscuits next time I'm there. 

Biggest excitement of the day - our latest bank switch bonuses have arrived! 😃 £185 each,  so £370 in total - a nice addition to June's extra dosh pot,  which now stands at £395 😃💰

Evening all 😊 Tired this evening, after a functional but quite hard day working at home. Daft really, I was in bed by 10pm last night so shouldn't really been tired! But the thing I wanted to finish by lunchtime didn't get finished til 4pm 🙄 Back still hurts after gardening at the weekend - I stopped at 4 for half an hour of stretching exercises which helped, then carried on til 7. 

Bit of a wander with Mr Cheery this evening, and half an hour of pointless flute practice - I was too grumpy for anything effective and just kept getting frustrated. 

On a cheerful note, we have ascertained that the printer still works! Last time I tried it was playing up, and I didn't have time to investigate and just switched it back off - that was weeks ago, but it didn't have a problem today. Probably just needed a rest, bit like me! 😂

The patio looks so lovely! Well done on bank money !! 

Has anyone won a big amount on PBs on mse /mfw over the years ??? 

I saw someone on a FB group I am in had winning £25k once but most I have ever won was £100 (this month as well !) 

Cheery_Daff

Thanks 😊 Most I've ever had is £100 too!

Hope you had a good night's sleep Cheery, after your long day yesterday.

Got about 6 hours sadly, which is not quite enough, but I'm in the office and jut bout functioning (although currently making my third cup of tea so we'll see how that goes 😂)

Today won't be a long one as Mr Cheery is picking me up at 5, but tomorrow may be - I'm hoping to avoid working Friday but that may just mean working late on Thursday!

That's not good. I do find the third cuppa tends to be the charm after a bad night though!
