    Hello, this week (as does marmiterulesok) -

    (1) I have a living room table to sort out. This includes lots of seeds to check for when to sow, bits of bubblewrap pieces from another job last week and a list of things to watch/listen too.
    (2) Food stock - sort out perishables/keep using up existing food but also consider next months grocery item ideas.

    Thanks for your message (to all) EverTheOptimist; having a better day myself. Also, bess1234, regarding the "technical" list, "food for free" and also being creative seems like fun/interesting. The subject of simplicity; need to feel more focussed on other stuff than that takes away my time in a bad way.

    (1) This table was sorted out and decluttered. Lots of seeds now awaiting better weather for sowing. The list has been updated too.
    (2) Kept busy sorting out perishables but acquired more so an ongoing task. Used some of the existing food up. For this month, probably just very minimal shopping; milk, sweeteners and an Easter gift(s) perhaps.

    oh dear, hope its a small accident quickly recovered?

    This week is presenting its own list and just getting on with it.

    New lampshade for bedroom ordered and that is the final touch. Bedroom done!
    Washing machine broken so cleaning kitchen before repair man arrives and sees the horror:o
    time for a gardening we will go this weekend.

    Have to admit the other 2/3rds of cellar are starting to bug me, and am wondering whether to start refreshing another room, as the list has worked for the bedroom, but I ll have a think.

    excercise list has disappeared completely :o

    Hi bess1234, nice of you to enquire. I fell awkwardly whilst getting off a bicycle. Unsure how it happened but have now some mobility problems due to pain in my left leg (inner thigh region?).

    Still no list as such; more a week slower pace with thoughts about what really is important and what to change or introduce.

    Hi, mavvymoo. Thanks for your kind and reassuring message; have not been doing as much and maybe first signs of an improvement today.

    Hope everyone doing ok

    So busy week followed by long weekend. Yippee

    Am learning ynab budget software so that is wearing out my head and changing all my six million bits of budget organising . That will take a while. Hmmmm!

    And a tidy house for the weekend, with washing caught up, baking on the go and eggs bought but not eaten till the day.:rotfl:

    Sounds like a plan, whilst luxuriating in ma beautiful new. Bedroom

    Enjoy your week all .

    Did a lot of thinking about what matters.

    Since Sunday -

    1) Trying to improve all aspects of health. Walking ability and distance will try more today.
    2) Started to make the home a safer environment and easier to manage.
    3) Do more "fun" things.
