    And have you contacted a RSPRD* re-homing centre for help?!

    Hi All,

    I did a bit of study and quite a bit of resting :)

    I have had a bit of a busy-ish morning. I've been to Mr L's and done a bit of shopping there :T

    I bumped into a friend on the way back and had a brief catch-up :)

    I've done 2 lots of washing - 2nd lot is drying now :cool:

    I've moved the pots

    I've cooked ragu :D

    Moved large item from spare bedroom

    I've cooked lunch using free meat - steak, fried onions and mushrooms (gifted to me as family wasn't going to use it) and reduced price rolls om nom nom

    I've cooked chicen pieces in herbs :D

    I've gifted a roasting dish :T

    I've decluttered 2 cupboards - only item to part with was butter dish :cool: - 1 of the cupboards was sauces, vinegars, dressings etc. so used but not everything every day. The other cupboard was plates - 2 items got put into the place they should live in ;) and the butter dish went to the carboot pile :T

    Car insurance renewal sorted out both :( - as its spending money and :T as its a completed job *and* i got the best price - no cashback but its still cheaper than anywhere else and it is an irksome job all completed now :D

    Things i'd like to achieve today are:~

    Pots washed,

    dried

    moved

    Double cup cupboard to be decluttered

    Empty work bag into old work bag. Current work bag to carboot pile

    Move walking boots

    Assignment - text 1 part 1

    text 2 selected

    text 2 part 1

    Don't forget to factor in some "you-time" as well, no sense in running yourself into the ground!
