Other little victories
- While it did result in me going a bit overboard in a craft shop, I finally made a little art project I've been meaning to do for almost a year.
- I was very surprised how quickly the hoover attachments were snapped up on Freecycle - posted around 11am, got five requests within the hour - felt really good not having to bin them.
- We took advantage of one of the bank holidays to finally take stuff to the tip, most of which is listed under "things out" but also stuff that I wouldn't count like lightbulbs and batteries that we can't put in our kerbside bins.
