I have ironed almost all the washing I washed this morning (filled the maiden then some) and done some flinging!
My mum brought me a mop bucket the other day and in 'the cage' bit popped some money off coupons she saved for me, some supermarket school tokens and three garlic bulbs she'd grown. She saw that the garlic was moved but couldn't understand why the coupons were still in it. Anyhoo I told her I hadn't moved the garlic, the kitten had 'caught' them both and dumped them elsewhere in the house. Apparently there were actually 3 - goodness knows where the kitten's taken the third one!Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily Dickinson

You are all so energetic - I am overwhelmed:)
I have reduced Mount Cluttermore by 2 recycled bin bags. Every little helps whoohoo:)
Toots you are in my thoughts and prayers. All the best for the big H next week - hope it's short as poss. Your must take care of yourself. Think of the babysteps you pm'd me about. If your cleaner is not up to it, hopefully you can leave worrying about a replacement until you are back home. I know friends living close would be only too happy to have a "doing and lunch" time, so stuff gets done and then some chilling out over some nibbles. Hugs and spoons to you and all others in need or want. x0
