Well I 'm back from HHC

Managed to sort one bag that was blocking the toilet door and had been there for weeks. It is all sorted as well with most going in the charity bag or the bin.

I also did another box of papers that has been there for over a year - I did say I was way behind!! Most of this is to be shredded - the rubbish is already either in the bin or the recycling bag.

I even managed to put away the pump and bottom of the fishing rod in the coal shed (not used for coal). Put some rubbish in the bin and found another items for the charity bag.

Really pleased but needed a sit down as back is hurting.

ive just got back in from a busy morning. although it seems ive not done much ive really done loads

I have done a couple of runs to the tip with more rubbish/packaging from the new house
I have *drum roll please* finally changed my name on my bank account, i also changed the address at the same time
and ive put a load of washing in.

now to go find a list and get cracking before going round to the new house with a pile of stuff.

Back gutter done.. front gutter is being done tomorrow hopefully.. it is too heavy for him to lift on his own so is roping in a mate for tomorrow. It is the back one that is really bad so hopefully all is now functional and can dry out there.

Ebay stuff ready to be posted.. I'll ask OH to do it for me when he has finished the toilet seat.. and he is cutting the grass so it can be binned tomorrow rather than the curtain pole I think.. hey.. he is on with jobbies so I'm not complaining!

Moomins emergency orthotic appointment tomorrow to see why her boots are giving her blisters suddenly.. I think it is just that the boot is too big.. she has different sized feet (her right one is a 12.5 and the left one is an 11) and it is the smaller one that is rubbing.. so that is 12:15 tomorrow.. not sure where we go though.. EEK!!!! I hate going new places I am always comvinced I am in the wrong place and will be laughed at .. such a wuss!

Bathroom still nice and tidy.. though I want to put up the new shower curtain

My back hurts so much Im not sure what to get done today actually.. oh.. I need a couple of gammons in the oven and the pork slicing and freezing. which means I need salad for dinner tonight.. looks like OH is getting a shopping list and some ebay parcels. He has a cheque to put in bank too.

pigpen

Apparently the hedge is getting a mincing as well... Who swapped OH for a Stepford man?

(yellow didnt work on the writing!!)

AnW'sMum thinking of you all today with love and hugs

Kazw :T:j:j:T well done - you will only be a shadow soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
tooch re your frog list - we have had this conversation before - 'the attic' is tooooooooooooo big as one job - you need to break it down - so make it into smaller chunks on your frog list and it will soon get gobbled up. even if it is only one thing at a time - break it down into manageable/ doable jobs. (((hugs)))
chunky glad OH is ok - well done for sorting things out - I hope life goes better for you all now (((hugs)))
Dancemum (((hugs))) hope things sort themselves soon
Lala hi honey xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:D

nice to see lots of returners - jump on - you know that the lists work - and get stuck in!!!

frog lists are 10 things that you have been putting off and need doing now.

Toots list - I wrote a list a while back of all the things that needed doing - i did mine room by room and some other stuff - and I have been working my way through it - started with 205 now done to twenty something! these are jobs that maybe you need to organise or just make yourself do - i found that my list helped me because i didnt forget about stuff - i posted it at the beginning and end of a week and hopefully had a few to delete! It is a long term list (think 6 months to a year at least)
