And if anyone wants to do a random hour's listing supportive challenge again any time do say here, there are always listings OATs I'm almost, nearly, really shouldly, definitely about to do any minute 😁3 -
Thank you for starting a new thread. Next on my to do list is to return the borrowed wheelchair we’ve had for Mr SA for the past 12 years. Not used it that much for him as he’s got the scooter but it came in handy for me the two times I broke my leg - not the same leg or at the same time by the way. For the nosey people 🤣 the first time Mr SA ran me over on his mobility scooter the second time I was hit by a car on Friday the 13th. Still here though, I get knocked down but I get up
again 💪 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6 -
I'd love to join in. I have quite a few OATs and have been dipping in and out of the other threads this.
A few tasks to complete.
Choose family photos to frame for hallway we decorated in the summer. Everything else is done apart from these and will be good to finish the room off.
List some craft stuff for sale.
Use the paint repair bottle on my car which I bought 6 months ago.

Welcome, and those are lovely aims @Naturelover22, you'll feel rightfully smug and shiny getting those done. What's the plan for how to do them?
And @Brie, we're good at a wee kicking here! What is the first step that needs doing and when can you plausibly be doing it?2 -
Joining in. This last quarter of the year will be to progress the house and garden to clear the whiteboard of tasks. This will be quite some doing!Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!4 -
Bath panel is being replaced today, and rough plans are in place for fitting the wardrobe, sorting out the loft insulation/hatch, and blocking up the garage doors. Must remember to ask about sorting out the draughty kitchen door too. It's going to be an expensive autumn.
Carpet fitter is booked. So now need to nag the plumber and electrician for dates and quotes.4 -
Two vinted listings done despite being in a very hibernatory mood!3

I did get as far as registering for Vinted and then an accidentally bought a dress. Whoops.
