    Me too! I am hopefully sorting mortgage details on Monday so I need this place sorted for estate agents to come and value it.

    Morning lovelies! :wave:

    It's overcast, colder and drizzling :j :D:p at last!

    Just whinging it today mainly, got work later but this morning I want to get the TD into action and find some washing. Will load the DW with a few bits and tidy round.

    Going to pick up my granny chair (electric recliner) from OH's later which is a ton weight, but, it means I'll be comfy as this new 'modern' corner suite is neither use nor ornament and I've discovered I don't like being crowded, I need my own chair and space :o

    Need to go and buy a new mop.

    Cleaning cloths are in the WM. Bedroom hooks are soaking in the sink before being put back (they are pretty beaded flowers, so full of dust). Suitcase is unpacked and washing sorted.

    Weather isn't very inspiring or energising, so will focus on indoor jobs - starting with locating the furniture I can move back into the bedroom on my own and washing it down/polishing it before putting it back. Hopefully tomorrow will be sunnier and I'll feel more like doing stuff in the garden, although I will attempt to get a few bits and pieces done today when I go out to hang out/bring in washing.

    Attempting to meal plan, but failing, so I think a freezer inventory/defrost and reorganisation may be called for. I have masses of food and need to eat it. Definitely soup for lunch every day as I made lots last week. I made some vegetable rice last night (didn't eat enough veggies while we were away!) and have some turkey mince defrosting, and also have lots of eggs, a bulb of fennel and carrots to use up.

    Better go and shift some laundry and furniture!

    Glad you not green as my son's account was hacked so easily and he lost over 100 of his birthday money. Now he has a prepaid card and loads it with small amounts so as to avoid it ever happening again.
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    Hi folks,
    Just popping in to say hello and to see if there is anything on the lists I can manage to do. The house is a pigsty as I have all the boys home for Easter and I am currently a bit incapacitated. I took a while to get over the norovirus then went away for the weekend which was fab as it was like Summer.
    On Thursday I caught my foot on my walking stick getting out of the car and fell, splat, on the pub car park!! :rotfl::rotfl:

    At 3 in the afternoon, I was killing time between doctors and church! I have given in and been to the doctors again and I have sprained my ribs. That was how the doctor described it. I think it is the muscles/ligaments that are sprained. She says I am to only do gentle activity.
