Top of the list is approving the heat pump quote (which means adding a couple of radiators to it/changing their specification).

I have pumped up my car tyre and the light was only on for 3 days! Winning!
I had to do it while I was still house sitting so I could do it on the nice flat yard. It's not really possible outside my house.

Get involved @PollyWollyDoodle! I find that writing here even if I haven't achieved the aim or done much puts me in a better frame of mind to randomly go 'fine I'll just do the thing rather than thinking about it'
Ha well done @Rhyddid2026 that is absolutely winning.
I did not have time to tackle build admin list but I have written all the tasks in my diary in a more manageable spread out way for this week, and we did choose and order shelf brackets which had become A Big Thing so pleased with that

I've managed to come up with 50 ten minute (ish) tasks for my table. I was clutching at straws a little for the last few, but I could not start this project with 42 tasks.

I finally found the library in Southend yesterday after living here for four years! I went in there to print off some forms for my upcoming Reiki level 2 class.
I am busy today as I have lunch out, a book group and a Soundbath, but I have lots of things to do next week! I have a big to-do list.

I've done some more washing, stripped and flipped my bed and put the mattress topper in the wash.
I couldn't have asked for a better first randomly allocated task - number 23 - open the shed door 😂 I did open it, felt overwhelmed and walked away, then went back and took a few things out from near the door or hanging on the door and sorted them.
The next two are wiping the conservatory (done) (note it doesn't say cleaning because that's a mammoth task) and 10 minutes of recycling (done). That can include gathering plastic bits from the garden that can go in the plastic recycling bag.
Quite a nice mix for my first day. I'm sprinkling them through the day because I'm still also doing the weekend chores and catching up on all I didn't do during the week.
