    I've got a photo book on my OAT list too, although I've not even started it yet! 

    What i have done, however, is finally stuck up the ceiling panel that fell down in about February 😬😂 hoping it doesn't fall down again 😬
  • Well done @Cheery_Daff, that is excellent OATing

    I really, really MUST book the septic tank emptying tomorrow, and book my car in for it's recall appointment. 

    On the plus side, I can also start putting things back in the hall as it's almost done. Landing will have to wait for carpet on 2nd Dec.

    Not sure what to do about the bathroom smell though.

    Haven't done anything about the septic tank, car, or hotel/train for my hospital trip. But I've ordered vine eyes and wire for training the fig and blackberry in the veg plot. 

    Handyman identified the smell as one of the types of sealant he used to sort out the shower. It may take a while for the smell to go unfortunately. But if I move back into my bedroom it'll be less annoying.
