    Achieved nothing other than getting up and going to work, but when you're feeling rough that is A Good Achievement in my book!
    That's a great achievement.

    An annoying task ticked off the list today.  A birthday present was delivered to me 2 hours after I needed to leave home to visit the birthday person and I won't see them again until the end of July.  So having paid the original postage I've now paid some more postage.  Sigh!  Anyway hopefully the recipient will be pleased with their gift.

    I've also booked an appointment to start the process of drawing up our wills.  This was loosely on our 2025 to do list so we are on track to achieve that, mostly due to holding myself accountable on this thread.

    2 bags to the charity shop and whilst there we bought 2 great toys for 2 of our younger grandchildren.  I also bought a box set of Mad Men series 1-4or 5 for £2.00.  I used to enjoy watching this so I'm going to save it for the winter when the evenings are longer and colder and generally less glorious than June.
    more fence painting done by MrLH and some more plants potted.
    cleared the big whiteboard in our HQ room and have now made it tidy and organised so we can see what's what.  We use it for weekly meal plan, shopping list and a week at a glance showing what we are doing.  So much more pleasant to look at.

    Hurrah for the blind fittings @greenbee

    I chose and ordered the toilet and basin for the soon to be new bathroom.  I also planted out lots of things in the new borders.

    Ah well done @redofromstart, must be very mixed feelings making these changes but hopefully with the sadness there's also a bit of excitement at getting things nice and how you want them and how they'll serve you
