Woke up and took a quick trip to Dobcroft Infant School – drop-off went smoothly, then back home for a few minutes before heading to T L C for the morning shift. The work there was routine; just kept my head down and got through it. Around midday, I met Deimantė in person at Maya Suite. Not sure if it was planned or spontaneous, but we sat and talked for a bit. She brought up the cleaning clients again – Gail had questioned the new hourly rate o…

I woke up to my phone buzzing—Deimantė had already sent a dozen messages. She was in a state about her cleaning prices. 'I'm raising my rates to £20-£21.50 per hour because of rising costs,' she wrote. We went back and forth for ages, 170 messages in all. She told me she only had £200 left for bills last week, so I get why she needs to charge more. She asked if I could help clean offices or wash cars, and we made plans to meet tomorrow to sort ou…

I met Deimantė at T L C this morning, around 11:36. We sat in the usual spot and she immediately started talking about the clients. She’d dropped the rate from £22.50 to £21.50 an hour – apparently some of them were grumbling. She seemed relieved to have done it, but then her mood shifted when she mentioned her car. White smoke pouring out of the exhaust, she said. And then a late PCN arrived. She’s been juggling money, William upset she didn’t v…

Dropped Anna at Dobcroft Infant School just before eight, then headed to T L C for the morning. Work was steady until around eleven. A quick stop at Hallamshire Tennis & Squash Club around lunchtime—not sure why I went, maybe just to stretch my legs. Then I was around the University campus, visiting the Octagon Centre twice, with a stop at The Doctor's Orders bar in between. Felt like I was waiting for something or someone, but nothing came of it…

I got to T L C just before 8:45. Suzana and Anna were already there, having arrived at 8:10. They were heading to Anna's eye appointment at 9:15, so I only saw them briefly. Suzana told me later that Anna's vision in her right eye has worsened—probably from being ill or needing a new prescription. They’ve got a follow-up in June and she’s been given eye drops. After they left, I cracked on with the license plate OCR thing. I’d been messing with c…

I woke up early today, still groggy. Anna was already stirring, so I got her ready for school. We walked to Dobcroft Infant School around 7:03 – the morning air was crisp. I dropped her off and came back home briefly to grab my work stuff before heading out. First stop was Makro and Costco for supplies – I needed to stock up for the cleaning business. I was in and out quickly, but the traffic was annoying. Then I drove to T L C. Deimantė was alr…

I got to T L C just after half eight. Deimantė was already there, and we went straight into sorting out the cleaning jobs. She was a bit annoyed I'd forgotten to draft those messages for clients, but we got it sorted. We moved Claire to Monday, added cobwebs and windows at Bev's. Then she told me about Karolis and Asta breaking up—sounds messy. I felt bad for her, but she seemed okay about it. Around half twelve I nipped out to Ocado, just a qui…

Woke up and headed straight to T L C on Kimberley Street. Got there just after 10, sorted a few things in the office, then popped over to Ocado Sheffield for supplies. Back at T L C by 11:30, stayed until after 1pm. During that time, Deimantė messaged about pricing for a client, and I realised I'd completely forgotten to draft the messages for Bev and Anastasija. She was pretty frustrated—rightly so. I apologised and promised to write per-visit n…

I woke up at 5am coughing up food—must have eaten too late again. Stayed in bed for a bit, then shuffled around the flat. The ants seem to be gone, finally. Suzana mentioned they disappeared after I cleaned the kitchen. Around 11:20 I headed out, first to Emara Halal Butchers. Quick stop, just grabbed some meat. Then I went to T L C and spent over an hour there, until 12:39. Not sure what I was doing—maybe browsing or chatting. After that, I went…

Woke up and nipped to Home Bargains for a few bits – nothing special, just needed some cleaning supplies. Back home, then headed to The Greystones for Ivy's birthday gathering. They had the back entry reserved, which was good because the pub was busy. Stayed from about 12:38 till just after two. Ivy was happy, cake was decent, but I was distracted by my phone buzzing. Janice had sent her ECG results from the scan earlier this week. Back home, th…

Deimantė arrived at eight sixteen, just as I was finishing breakfast. She said 'Just arrived' and immediately started talking about how her bank balance was zero and she needed two hundred and thirteen pounds by three o'clock. I sent her sixty. She told me about her cleaning job at Helen's, how she had to clean up mouse droppings, and she was thinking about raising her prices because Sheffield rates were different from Doncaster. We also talked a…

Monday started quiet. The weekend had left traces of other people around the house – Suzana outside on Saturday, Deimantė around on Sunday – but by Monday I was on my own timetable. I stayed in until 10:44, then walked over to TLC and settled in for a working block that lasted until just after two. The calendar had an ophthalmology call for Anna at 13:15, but I can't say for sure it actually happened; it sat there like a reminder I didn't fully a…

The morning unfolded quietly at 10 St Oswalds Way, where I stayed mostly put, enjoying the calm of home. Anna was around, and the rhythm of the day felt steady and familiar. I kept an eye on the clock, knowing her swimming session was set for the afternoon. At 2 PM, Anna headed out for her swim, a routine that seems to anchor our weeks. I stayed back, the house feeling a little emptier without her, but it was nice to have that moment of stillne…

I started the morning at home on St Oswalds Way, glancing at my calendar which reminded me of a hospital appointment in Middlesbrough and a counselling video session with Liz Soloman scheduled for 1pm. Before heading to work, I made a quick stop at Dobcroft Infant School. It was just a brief visit, maybe five minutes or so—probably to drop something off or check in. The school felt calm and quiet that early, and it was good to be there even if on…

I started the day at home, getting ready for what I knew would be a full schedule. By 11:05, I was at T L C, settling into work mode. The morning session lasted until just before 1 pm, and I focused on my professional tasks there. It was a steady stretch, the kind of work that demands attention but doesn’t throw surprises at you. Around 1:02 pm, I took a short break at La Piazza Caffe. It was only about ten minutes, just enough time to grab a re…

The morning unfolded quietly at our home on St Oswalds Way. The usual calm settled over the house, and I found myself moving through the familiar rhythms of family life without rush or interruption. Anna was focused on her routine, and I appreciated the peaceful start before the afternoon’s main event. By early afternoon, it was time for Anna’s swimming session. She left at 2:00 PM, and I stayed behind, keeping the house in order and enjoying th…

I spent most of January 25th in Tenerife, starting with a long stay at Hotel Villa Mandi Golf Resort where I had arrived the night before. The morning was quiet, marked by a calendar note simply titled 'Tenerife,' signaling the ongoing family trip. Around midday, I moved to Gara Suites Golf & Spa for a couple of hours, enjoying some relaxation and the calm atmosphere. Later in the afternoon, I met up with Suzana Janachkova at several locations ar…

Today was a day marked by travel and transition, beginning with a morning at Birmingham Airport and ending with an evening settling into Tenerife. I started early, leaving my home in Sheffield to head to Birmingham Airport, where I spent a couple of hours before catching my flight. A brief stop at Wetherspoons near the airport gave me a moment to pause and refresh. After the flight, I arrived at Tenerife South Airport in the afternoon and made my…

Dropped Arman off at Dobcroft Infant School this morning, a quick stop that feels like the only normal part of the day. The weekend was all payments and invoices, and that debt reconciliation is still sitting at the back of my mind. I went back home for a bit, then got on to TLC for a couple of hours of work. It was quiet, the kind of Monday where you just get through the list. I saw the calendar reminder for cleaning the office later, set for fi…

I finally got moving just before half eleven. The weekend had been quiet enough, and the only thing waiting for me was the usual pile of work at T L C. I left the house at 11:35 and got there in a few minutes. The whole afternoon ended up being about money, which I should have expected. Damoon and I were on the phone, or at least I think it was on the phone – I didn't see him in person, but we spoke for a long time about balances and invoices. I…
