    I haven't entirely lost my mind staring at shower trays for most of the day which is definitely getting counted as a successful OAT

    Sellitback is another bookselling site. Not a huge amount, but I've found (so far) that they take books other sites don't.

    Any that I can't get rid of to a selling site I either take into work and leave in the staff room or donate to the CS. I sell more than I give away.

    Thanks for the suggestion @greent 😊

    - Meter readings submitted to new supplier - it will be interesting to see how the account moves after these readings. 
    - Dining room table cleared - that included trialling a hazelnut from the garden which was really good, so I have put those to one side to crank and do something with

    Have made good progress in choosing bathroom fittings and fixtures with Mr PIP.
    You would think this would be a fun job but it is exhausting
