Two weeks on Monday @KajiKita. Need to be able to access all of the windows and to have cleared the wood store so quite a lot for us to do.My mortgage free diary: +++ Divide by Cucumber Error. Please reinstall universe and reboot+++

Good to have a start date 😊 even if it does mean a load of cleaning 😬4

I hope your fellow inmates will be helping out (particularly with clearing the woodstore!).
I have the plumber starting on Monday, one stubborn blind to take down, and a vague feeling that I should clear out the airing cupboard as he's bound to want to go in there (he's big, it's small, and anyway if he does go in there it'll probably involve mess/dirt).7 -
I do have helpers, and the non residents are also offering to help. I just work better with a deadline, even if it still means I am working at midnight the night before it is due.
Rather gnarly weather still here so I have yet to so much as look at the outside jobs. I went to the retail park on the edge of the city instead. MnS have a cotton rich vest top with built in support that actually fits me, provides reasonable support and looks nice on so I went and got a black one as well as the 'tawny' one I had already bought.
Small gain this morning of c£40 in annual interest which I wasn't expecting. I short term moved some of the payout money to my instant saver account while I was stuck due to transfer limits. Clearly it was worth the effort. I also have a regular saver maturing this month. Just a shame I am also parting with tens of thousands in work on the house!

Take every bit of help that is offered (as long as it's useful!).
I deal with deadlines the same way as you unfortunately, which always made packing for work trips incredibly stressful...5 -

I am currently not as far ahead as I should be, no surprises there. Any diversion welcomed so I have had visitors to
the house, and am meeting some more friends from my 20s tomorrow. It did mean I had to do some cleaning at least.
I have increased my steps quite a lot and that in itself is time consuming. A friend is kindly servicing my bicycle for me so hopefully will be able to add that into the mix. I finally read the 30g protein book that I bought and am on one of (no doubt short lived) pushes on improving my diet rather than calorie counting. Lots of F&V and seeds purchased, even ate some of it.
Two more amaryllis bought on offer at my favourite garden centre. I need to sort my spring pots out as well.

Well you are further ahead than before and I’m quite certain you will be done in time …! 😉😊
The 30g book sounds interesting. Could a vegetarian follow its advice / principles?
Glad your ankle is strong enough now to consider cycling 👏 And well done for only buying two amaryllis! 😉😂
