    Got all paper work folders down and in the living room, gave the bathroom a quick once over. I need to go to Costco to get a couple more big crates for storage as want the electrical drawer emptied soi can have the spare room bedding in there.

    Off to wake Ben as he's been asleep for 3 hours and will give him a bottle then he can have some playtime whilst I get stuck into paperwork :(

    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 form
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
    GC: £200
    Slinkies target 2018 - another 70lb off (half way to what the NHS says) so far 25lb

    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 Mumto5

    Afternoon

    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

    Lil_me proud of you for being proactive, hope the meds kick in soon x

  • anyone care to join a HHC at 6.15pm?

    I'm rehoming random items that are cluttering up the downstairs area...

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.
