If you're feeling blue it's probably the smurf thing that's catching
Have decluttered my work stuff (laptop, docking station, router, token, credit card, chargers etc) into a box. I've told them that if they want the rest (monitor, printer, keyboard, mouse, phone, headset) they can collect it, as it's too heavy for me to carry and it was delivered originally. I've prioritised the return of stuff that has company data on it.
ETA - congratulations Jennybee!!!0 -
Toots please can I have my 4th star! I only have 3:o I have completed all 4 days so far and am determined to get all 5 stars for the first time ever! Shouldn't really matter i know - I'm a sad sack! lol!
Tomorrow will be our spare room and the conservatory. So I'm going to be doing 2 rooms for the price of 1. Then we are off to costco to shop for the barbecue.
I finally got my prescription request in - only have 6 tablets left and it won't be ready until Tuesday - so cutting it fine! ooops! I find it so hard to do things for myself, for others no probI have however made more plum jam (another 9 jars) and am running out of space despite giving some away!
Congrats /(((hugs))) to those that need them
