Well aren't we all doing well!! Calley - how's your hubby now? I spotted the comment about the wheelchair.....?

I'll not get much done decluttering-wise tonight - I have my speedway photos from last night to process so I might try and get those completed ready to email off to the Programme editor tomorrow....

We're doing another Hospice shop run tomorrow (must NOT buy more books!) so that will be the laundry basket of stuff we sorted out over the last week to go, plus anything else I find in the meantime. I have a pile of paperwork on the desk that needs sorting through and filing too, and a phone to list on eBay unless I can find a site which will buy it off me for a respectable amount. Might also have a sort out of CD's and see if there are any of those that can go on eBay as well - we've been talking about doing that for ages!

Have a good clutter free weekend everyone!

• 1 replacement blind for DD's room (1/2inch too short :mad: Time to put my thinking cap on )

Glue a strip of gathered lace to the bottom?? Or you could sew it in place??

Tassels... you can get some pretty funky tasselly things at the haberdashery dept.. definitely worth a gander?

A strip of coordinating fabric as has already been suggested?

A gathered broad ribbon??

A cross stitched or embroidered panel?

OR... I love this.. a favourite outgrown top or dress... take the hems and use that to make it longer.. a lovely reminder of her favourite things

Calley - how's your hubby now? I spotted the comment about the wheelchair.....?

He is well but not able to cover distance at all. Earlier this year he got rid of the wheelchair as he could walk to and from the car. And thought that he no longer needed it. I did ask him numerous times was he sure and he was. :rolleyes: Men.

But it has meant we can't go on walk together etc. So we requested a wheel chair again. Only problem is that I don't have much room in the back room lol!!!!!!!!

And since getting it we have been out for a wheel twice. It is nice to get out and about with him again. I not a great person for exercise but do like to go out and about for a walk now and then. And some times I just crave company with me. Should have got it back earlier as we could have out for walks in the summer. Never mind.

Thanks asking.

In: Nothing, well a 1.5L bottle of lambrini

Out: One pair of shoes and a fancy biscuit tin to the charity shop. 1.5L bottle of lambrini that I took up a friends and drank the whole lot :rotfl:

No wonder I feel rough now


Yours
