Definitely money well spent. When you have so many things that you are trying to achieve it makes sense to outsource some jobs if you are in a position to do so. Not only does it free you up to tackle other tasks there is the impact on your health to consider.

Thanks @OpalGirl, it would have been a miserable weekend if I had to do all the scraping of sand into the many cracks - the paving stones are tiny. I thought it was likely I'd also make a terrible job of it, having no experience of such things. I am very much not into gardening. Best to get professionals for some things.
I have done my grocery order to arrive next week and used Sprive, so I got £2 for that. I ordered £80 of stuff which will make meals for at least 2 weeks, but I will probably try to stretch it out to the end of the month.
In other news, someone invited me out for a coffee and I have suggested they come here instead. That will save me the hassle of travelling and I have mochas that were on offer for £1.50 for 7 sachets 😂.
