Hi all,
1st October tomorrow, GOTTA get some de-cluttering done. Am working this evening and early tomorrow morning, but will have the afternoon to move/dust/declutter some things to bin/charity shop.
I wonder how many spiders I will make homeless in the process?
Will be back tomorrow with list

I wonder how many spiders I will make homeless in the process?
That happened to me yesterday - I dealt a spider's web I'd been completely ignoring but didn't want to deal with the spider - so the large black S immediately skuttled down to the floor and hid. This morning it had gone. Which is worse - knowing where it was and doing no harm, or setting it free to skuttle across my face whilst I was sleeping :eek: ? (I could have killed it but it hadn't at that time done me any harm.)0 -

ugh, washing sucks! I am doing enough over this weekend for a laundry. You would never think there are two people in this house, more like twenty from all the washing we have.:mad: Mind, the washing isn't the worst bit....the getting of it dry is such a pain. Clothes would be disposable or self cleaning me thinks.:rotfl:Saving 1 animal wont change the world - but it will change the world for that 1 animal

... got to go into the garage today to set up a long-term food store ... scared, very scared :eek:
Later ...._pale_ well, who'd have thunk it, my garage is full of carp. I wonder where that came from ....:o
tbh a lot was paint pots etc dumped by the builders who were sticking the front of the house back on over what was supposed to be the summer.
We have also acquired a long ladder that wasn't there before but that they deny owning. :huh:
OUT (as in, piled outside garage for when DH is able to take to the tip):
10 paint pots,
3 assorted tubs of hard 'stuff',
a handful of bent screws, rusty hinges etc
a bundle of stuck up paintbrushes
a pair of dead shoes with spiderswebs inside
the sun parasol (16 years old and rusted through at the base)
assorted bent struts to build a mis-shappen gazebo
a paint roller that doesn't roll
a three week old newspaper (who goes in the garage to read a paper we don't buy???)
half a dozen bits of wood with nails in
three bits without nails
one door from a cupboard
some weird shaped bits of plastic
And I still can't get to the corner I want to use for my kitchen overflow/long term storage area
108 in total so far this month. Off to get the cobwebs out of my hair ....:doh:(me, swatting potential occupants of the cobwebs).I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.0 -

Why oh why. Do I pick up every free supermarket magazine :eek: it must cost so much to have these printed. I NEVER completely read them, just seem to pile them up for a rainy day. Well we've had loads of rainy days and I've not picked any of them up! Time to bin them :j0
