I have been getting allsorts of "jobs" done around the house - it's kinda satisfying knowing you did it yourself.
Also had a dog poop incident this week - yuk! However if ex had been around he would have probably just looked and called "S the dogs made a mess, can you deal with it..."
Much better to do it yourself - and if its not quite right? Don't tell anyone, only you know and you'll live with it. If H had done it not quite right we'd just kept pointing it out or looking and thinking.
