March Forward Into Spring 2026

A silly OAT that could easily have dragged on longer and longer- was putting on socks for work last week and realised they were so bobbly it actually would have been a tad disgraceful. Obviously it's a twenty second job to get the debobbler out and do a pair of socks. Did I do it then? No. Did I do it the next day? No. Did I do it at all instead of having these socks on the side getting on my nerves? No. Did it get to the point where I started writing it in my to-do diary like it was a big task? Absolutely.

Well today rather than rewrite it in my diary again I simply did the twenty second job. Genuinely feeling a sense of achievement 😂

Great work PiP!

I just tackled cleaning my in-ear headphones. I'd spent weeks possibly months procrastinating. I got as far as looking it up on the internet and was paralysed with fear of how difficult this was going to be. In the end I grapped an antiseptic wound wipe and in less than 5 minutes the yukky headphones are now sorted. Why oh why did I spend so long agonising over it. Glad it's done now!

2 jobs tackled today. One has been hanging over me for ages. I sorted out the accounts for craft group. Thought I had massively overspent the subs on craft materials. Turns out that I am only owed £4.74 so have been managing the funds quite well. Just need the accounts checking and I will be able to report them all back to group. The second was a falling apart bench in the garden. It was rather lovely and we could do without forking out for a new one just yet so I have managed to get a really long screw into where the leg attaches to the main body as well as putting a very famous strong glue in all of the joints. DH is going to help with screwing the other joints together as I couldn't quite get a purchase. Hopefully after a bit of wood restorer from the shed it will see us through another couple of years and have cost us nothing to repair.

Fabulous work @Soontobeoap, love hearing of a lovely thing being kept going

I did the big walk to the 'over the mental geographical boundary of my neighbourhood' shops today to get essentials like toiletries cheaper than elsewhere, it's been on the list for a few weeks now, and it was 31 degrees so very pleased with myself.

@Rhyddid2026 I can't remember if this makes me more or less of a criminal, venturing outside my manor 😂

Haven't entirely melted, did some things. That is the achievement for 32/33 degree today

I need to parcel up an item I’ve sold. No motivation but need to post tomorrow.

I have pressure washed the patio. Some bits are better than others, but it's done.

Did several vinted listings. Albeit I bribed myself to do them by going to the pub to do them, but beer money comes from personal spends, extra earnings goes into build and gift pots so the accounts are still in order 🍻
