My boiler was serviced, and he's given me some tasks to do ASAP. So more DIY on the weekend because I was lucky he signed it off.
I did another bit of mortar on the wall there's still another patch to do but I'm not sure how much longer the dry spell will continue. I'll have still made some improvements even if I don't quite finishing patching it all up. The garden should get flooded less than usual.
Gas meter reading submitted.

I booked the boiler service in and rang a chimney sweep. Hopefully the sweep will call backMade 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 !!1 -
One more layer of mortar done on the wall and rain forecast so that might have to be the end of it for the time being. I'm a little bit looking forward to some rain so I can see how well the wall holds it!
