  • Ok, scrub that HHC, I've put the fridge/freezer shopping away, but am feeling really really nauseous, and shaky and have had to cancel my friend as I think I might puke. Have very gingerly hung out the washing so that I can have the washing up bowl next to me. Would go to bed if I could get to it - I moved out the armchair to make space to pull the sofa out earlier, but the armchair is blocking my way to the bed. And the shopping is blocking my way to move the armchair.

    .....as soon as my esteemed colleague leaves the office for a smoking break, will start my declutter challenge at work. can't do it while colleague is here, keeps talking and iterrupting me so will make start as soon as they go and will be well on my way and embroiled in task when they return!

    Am really grumpy today - can you tell?


    LT

    yaaay- managed to sort through past project work and have now got nice neat piles. Am going to carry on and re-make up my filing trays (they collapsed about a year ago). the 2 colleagues I share the office with had a 'heated discussion' for about 20 mins. I didn't get involved, nothing to do with me:confused:, I carried on with my HHC. One of them has now flumped out of the office in a huff and the other has FINALLY stopped talking. hurruh.

    am going to have some lunch now. next HHCAW 2pm-ish.

    Managed to remember to go to the post office before it shut, so Zoe, your parcel should be with you tomorrow or Thursday. I know it wasn't urgent, but it's more clutter out of the house!

    Washing on line... jeans, so not sure they'll dry. Clean washing from weekend put away (not bothering to iron, and I'm going to check through the ironing pile too). Lots of dregs used up in the bathroom this morning, and all bottles recycled/binned as appropriate. Once the bath is dry I'll move everything back and work my way round the rest of the room as it needs a deep clean before I go back to work (so does the rest of the house ideally... my parents are going to be busy helping me shift furniture if they're not careful :D)

    Can't decide what to do next... go to basingstoke to pay for car stuff and pick up spare key (only thing I need to go there for) or head off in the other direction to get new tyres (I'll have to sit around and wait while they're done...).

    I suppose... I should go to basingstoke before lunch, come back, have lunch (and clear more of the kitchen in the process), then go and get the tyres sorted and do a bit of Italian while I wait, then come back and deal with my lists until it's time to go to reflexology.

    I just wish I could get as much done in the day as wilf!
