It's like a drab, wet autumn Sunday.
DSs bedroom has had a top to bottom clean, plus his bathroom. I'm going to tackle the ironing and Mr T is doing manly things with taps and washers - that's a worry :rotfl:
Cats are going to be thrown off our bed shortly as we change the bedding. Now do I get the flannelette out :eek:
CAN'T wait to go away.

We have friends staying in our house at the moment and I've just asked them to have a glass of wine in the garden for us. 27 degrees and a light breeze - just like the UK :eek:
All magazines, books including cookery books sorted. Pile for CS, box for Drs surgery and some into recycling.
All my CDs sorted and pile for CS, some for Portugal but all on the PC and backed up to cloud storage.
I am feeling so much better getting rid of stuff
Hounds are not happy with the weather. One of them has taken to peering out of the back door but won't go out. Very funny to see.
Mr T is finishing the dinner and then we are going to have a chin wag.

Hi Apple,it's hard to believe we are almost in August and it's this cold. We've had rain, wind, dark cloud but the sun came out about an hour ago and o quickly weeded the veggie beds and picked some courgettes.
DVDs sorted (again, last did them not long after starting my diary). Classics kept, a few sorted for Portugal, good for friends with children. The rest will be checked on MM in case we can sell them. If not CS it is.
I'm really enjoying having some time to sort and clear.
Complete so far:
Scarves
Gloves
hats
Coats
Shoes
Boots
CDs
DVDs
Books
Magazines
Socks
Underwear
Clothes
China
Glass
It makes life much easier doing all of the same thing at once. Plus it's made me 'find' everything and now the things we are keeping have a specific home.

Is it any consolation to hear it's still over 30 here and forecast to only drop to 26 during the night?Tilly_MFW_in_6_YRS wrote: »Hi Apple,it's hard to believe we are almost in August and it's this cold. We've had rain, wind, dark cloud
Thought not :rotfl:.A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

Booger off GG. It's blinking chilly here. Just because you've jetted off to the sun, spare a thought for the rest of us :rotfl:
