    I'm back, had a lovely salad for lunch, and this is how my extras list looks now -

    Extras
    [STRIKE]Sort and tidy the sewing stuff - box, basket, carrier bag … rehome carrier contents[/STRIKE] DONE
    [STRIKE]Sort out the box that’s STILL on the floor beside the desk![/STRIKE] DONE
    HH Foot soak
    Finish sewing quilt - I think this will be on my extras list for a while ... :rolleyes:

    I'm off to watch some tv with my feet in some lovely warm bubbles. I may be back later if I get anything else done.

    I found another sewing job that needs completing too - curtains for the outside porch door - will add that to my extras list tomorrow. ;)
    ... don't throw the string away. You always need string! :D

    I'm still here (whispering very quietly) - tho I wouldn't know how to put a christmas tree on here even if I thought I was brave enough. I am lurking and reading and taking heart - tho I do wonder HOW you manage to clean and tidy so well AND read/post on here.
    I am still doing my bathroom - I have now chucked out 4 rubble sacks (he took one full of precious books to the tip and I narrowly missed losing them all as he had second thoughts) I was going to post very triumphantly when I'd completely done my bathroom, but am slowly getting there and wanted just to say thankyou for a LOT of inspiration.
    Oh, and a sack of stuff for charity collection, which - for once - they did manage to collect from the gate.

    forgot I had quoted this:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::xmastree::xmastree::xmastree:

    Car insurance sorted (this was on last week's list soappie... is it too late to claim for it? :D)

    Tyre left at tyre place, and they'll call me when it's ready.

    Chocolate cake split, filled and covered with ganache ready to freeze. I think I might have to make a few more tonight in order to fill the freezer. I'm just pleased I'm finally managing to make neat layer cakes - if only I'd known before that it's all down to the gadgets :cool:

    Lunch eaten (I was going to go to the shop, but it was raining).

    Arrangements made to catch up with friends on Thursday evening.

    I suppose I should go and buy that chicken now, so that I can can then concentrate on getting my paperwork done!

    Almost forgot - congratulations G&B, so pleased to hear you're going to go for it too!

    Oh yes... and just received a cheque from my grandfather's wife for £250, which is apparently what I was left in his will. I'm not saying it won't come in useful, but when I know perfectly well that they sold their house a few years ago for almost a million, and that my mum has only been given £1k, I think it's a bit mean personally... and TBH we both would have preferred something personal, like family photos etc...
