Wild flower turf sounds fabulous!
OAT mission planning in place here:
We've started talking about the various house jobs we want to get sorted, so need to get thinking and check the list that I made before I think.
I'd also like to get the freezers sorted and a longer term meal plan made - although right now just getting a week at a time done is proving effective. We HAVE to eat through some of the stuff lurking now - I've been saying it for a ridiculous amount of time!
I also want to do more in the way of clearing out in the shed - but that might meet resistance from MrEH. A good starting point would be for us to crank up production of the paper bricks ready for fire fuel for the winter months, as that would shift some of the newspaper collection!
The new WM might mean that the autumn/winter weight duvet can be washed - if so, then that's a job for the list. If not, it will go on the bed regardless. the summer one meanwhile can definitely be washed as and when it's taken off the bed!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡
Balance as at 01/09/23 = £115,000.00 Balance as at 31/12/23 = £112,000.00
Balance as at 31/08/24 = £105,400.00 Balance as at 31/12/24 = £102,500.00
Balance as at 31/08/25 = £ 95,450.00

Another 2 items sold on vinted. Packed and posted. Few extra £'s and best of all things are getting a new lease of life.
sent a measured but firm email disputing some costs that have been incorrectly calculated.

Door curtains up in the kitchen, so hopefully the dog won't be spooked by whatever it is that makes him bark at night! It should be a bit warmer and a bit less draughty too.2
