Breaking Through, Travelling On

Can't focus on the financial admin for the life of me, so I'm focussing on blog admin my excuse is I had a bad sleep, and I'm off to London anyway, so I don't want to push myself

Uh oh. **lists** of excuses :rotfl:

It's all in line with the greater plan. I'm just putting some beans in the slow cooker, did a *lot* of weeding yesterday and I'll do more in a mo as long as it doesn't rain - ambition is to get rid of one of the self seeded lady's mantle plants (sorry SHS!) there are *so* many, to give space to plant the sage plant.

In other good news - my poor little scabious did *not* die. I love scabious, but I'm terrible at recognising the leaves, so this time, I'll repot that too

Any list is a GOOD list!;)

That's a novel way of looking at excuses for not cleaning :rotfl: much appreciated :rotfl:

Don't over do it with the cleaning. I have a tiny rota just for myself think it helps to give me a focus! Good luck with the airing, lots of health benefits x

Thanks earthgirl - I don't suppose either of you want to post examples of your lists on here? To give me a flavour? I'm deeply, deeply, rubbish at cleaning, I never noticed my mum doing any when I was at home (a lot went on in the kitchen I know, but after offering my help endless times and having it refused because I was slow, I used to hide in my bedroom because everywhere else was cold - I've really no clue!).

British Museum trip to see The American Dream was amazing - the kind of day out that retirement is supposed to be about :j we were hours later finishing than I thought we'd be, but it was brilliant :j

Today. Cleaning and/or weeding. I must do **one** financial admin phone call, I have to, it's getting a bit mad.

That's kind of what I do, beanie, but I refer to it as crisis management :rotfl:

Little bits achieved yesterday, in spite of being tired from going to London:

- two sessions of cutting back the box hedge yesterday, and I'll do another today. I'm so close to finishing! And the huge mahonia is finally exposed to sunlight nearly all the way round - its grown a bit wonky over the last 5 years, I think because of the hedge expanding to smother it

- not really an achievement, but a phone call I accepted - Post Office have retrieved that ISA money from Paragon, ie from the 3 year fix at 1.41%. I have to open an easy access today at 1.01%, which is fine and not even an isa, the woman gave me the reference so I can link up the application with the money. I have a lot of money going out on Regular Savers, as well as ordinary living expenses, and I need to get the big jobs done of replastering and whatnot, so this money is important.

- used nectar card money to go to Sainsbo, £7.50 hurray, plus popped into Waitrose and got 60p off fresh veg, which is amazing - how often does that happen, that vouchers are for fresh veg? And just as good, Sainsbo gave me high value till spits for points for stuff I actually buy :rotfl: I may stock up

Hi KC

:hello::hello::hello:

Glad to read that your 'problem' was none rat related!!!!

There's definitely an embarrassment factor I also wonder about my lovely pest control man having no real sense of smell, and wonder if this is the smell people talk about when they describe rats dying in the walls :eek::o

Ahhh the BM - it's been a very long time since I have been there - I would love to go again.

It was great! My sister was gifted a membership, so for our tea, we went to the members room, which looks down on the courtyard!

Take care and take it easy.

MCI x

Thanks MCI, will do - I've done astonishingly little today, except a summarising job I volunteered for on Old Style, but after I've had a cuppa tea, and phoned bruv, I'll go into the garden, it'll be cooler then.

Glad to see you a little bit
