Seafarers_wife I did costco last week so won't bump into you, they've got some nice storage boxes in at the moment all good sizes. Had some good offers on when we were there on Friday .... Or was it Thursday....
Pigpen I'm still giggling apart from at the serious bits of course, hope the diabetes monster has cleared off
10am doctors appointment done, I did as the social worker suggested and wrote everything down. Thought the GP was going to cry. Anyway got happy pills.... yes I gave in.... pain management clinic referral & a couple of meds changes. So that is done and I'm not sure how I feel about it, feel a bit like I've lost a battle and given in but I'm more than aware now I'm just getting worse without help. Citalapram so they'll take a few weeks to kick in but won't make me sleepy which is essential for me
Anyway came home, moved a few thing, cleared the space where the table goes and put it back, binned a few things, going to potter about a bit longer before I go to collect DS2 then do that damn expenses formOne day I might be more organised...........

Afternoon,
I now have the "I can't stop selling things bug". It is getting as satifying as my hoarding used to be. Once I have finished in the house, I'm going through the garage and barn. Then on to my parents' loft. (I have stuff in there from when I moved from London in 2000 Shuush don't tell them)
Lots more flung today.
Fingers crossed for Mumto50 -

Went out to the recycling bins and the magnet that is the front garden flower beds pulled me so strongly I could not re-enter the house for 45 minutes.
DS2 and I have cleaned most of the downstairs windows. Time for a list update.
Dancemum well done on the selling
