Even through the hot weather we managed to start this. Rubbed down the wood, sealed the knots and undercoated everything. Two coats of paint to go and the jobs-a-goodin. Plan to get this finished before the weekend.

How I did it: Once you make that first call your well on your way. I actually didn't use my first choice solicitor, but got a recommendation from them. I expressed my wishes for what was to go into the will and corrected some mistakes in the draft - simple really Read how I did it…
How I did it: Having always wanted to go to New York (ever since the Big Apple days, and being a big Lennon fan), I got the oppertunity to stay with friends in Boston and took the train down to NYC for a few days. I had a great time. Best thing - seeing someone in a Pannama hat and flip-flops crossing a busy road carrying a standard lamp. God I love New Yorkers ! Read how I did it…
How I did it: Booked flight on the internet - met at the airport by a family member then drove to the game - simple really. I also used google street view to find my way around Brechin before I went, then when we arrived I know where to park and how to get into the ground. Read how I did it…

Time for a quick update. I’ve updated all the things that need to be. It was very hot here over the weekend, so doing any task was a lot of effort, however we did manage to start painting the garage. Drinking lots of water, and eating better also. Feeling quite pleased with how commitment I am.
If drinking water was an Olympic event I’m sure to be on the podium after this weekends efforts. Temperatures reached 30°C over the weekend so drinking lots of water was a must, especially as I was working outside most of the time. Still going strong on this one.
