Afternoon all

Dusty - what a brilliant idea on the anniversary declutter - well done you! :T

Well, the office has found me something to do for another three months on the same part time basis so that's good (I suppose!).

We've had sunshine and strong winds today so as soon as I got home (left at 1pm), I didn't even take my coat off, I put the washing in the machine on the line to dry and then BB and I went for a v. long walk to soak up the sunshine. I also took the last few photos for my talk to the not-so-young wives.

We are both now pooped. We tramped for quite a way and then caught the bus back. BB does like the bus - everyone makes such a fuss of her. Even had an old tramp stop and give her a cuddle at the busstop and not a tap for money.

But, I'd better finish up this cup of tea and do some flying....

Just had a quick whizz through the thread - ((hugs)) to all who need them.

Decluttering - weeks for me too please - so Pigpen & AJMoney - shall we have our own minichallenge then? It'll take us through-ish to spring half term, when I'll be gardening, Pigpen will be decorating...

Anyways best go put the shopping away, and some washing onto the line,

Triker and I are having a declutter next week (and Piggers may play too!)

I thought we could work along the lines of wedding anniversaries for no real reason but to make it more focused so:

1st Paper
Monday anything to do with paperwork/photos/boxes of cards/kids pictures/books etc

2nd Cotton
Tuesday Clothes - anybodies for charity or ebays but not creating piles!

3rd Leather
Wednesday Handbag sorting/putting away/getting rid of or sorting bags of clothes stuffed under your bed/including camping stuff/sleeping bags/sporting equipment/shoes/boots

4th Linen
Thursday Linen cupboards/towels give them a good sort. Do not keep stuff just in case. Vets often want old towels

5th Wood
Friday - can include toys/sorting sheds/tidying your woodstore (greenbee)/DIY jobs


6th Iron
Saturday - cleaning out the car/refilling washer bottles/sorting our your heavy metal records/sorting our your baking tins/cast iron pans

7th Day of rest! Almost lets pamper
Sunday - sort out your toiletries and enjoy a bath decluttering all those bath bombs/face packs/trail samples/candle lit of course
AB

Anyone fancy joining and shall we have a separate one off thread?

Please may I join in :j I'm not sure about a separate thread. Please can you leave it with me, and I'll consult with the other BGs tomorrow, once DH has gone off on his business trip

Afternoon all,

Ds2 and i have been to Tesco where i recycled my black bag of carrier bags and for lunch with my Sisters. We've just put the shopping away and i'm waiting for my stuff to finish on Ebay. Once that's done i'll stick Tea in the oven and see what i can get done while it cooks.

I'll be up for the decluttering challenge.

Hi everyone, hope you're all well.

Happy birthday, congratulations, commiserations a *hugs* as and where needed

It'd my nephews baptism on Sunday and we have 16 here for lunch before the service and i'm going a buffet for 80 for afterwards so it's a bit manic here atm and it seems my stomach is not playing ball! 2nd day off of work as i'm in ridiculous pain - sitting/lying down aggrevates it more so have been pottering all day and feel shattered! Have an appointment at the doctors on Thursday as after talking to the lovely new doctor yesterday she isn't convinced ibs was the correct diagnosis 4 years ago due to the problems i still have - hummpppppppphhhhhh, another round of blood tests and scans but hopefully it'll all be resolved and i'll have a definate diagnosis!

Anyways - off to stick in the 2nd round of cakes for Sunday - have so far made 2 banana cakes, and 24 fairy cakes - only 72 to go and then i'll start decorating them :eek:
