Breaking Through, Travelling On

I didn't go I considered that all the walking up and down stairs carrying heavy wodges of books and certificates to be equal to a walk

I do feel things are a bit straighter - makes me feel better, and since I'm home all the time I'm not out, so to speak,it's important

Thats good then

It is good to feel things are straight - some of it is as simple as putting things away - even though its not in your way, its still probably visual clutter, and to me that can unknowingly become pretty oppressive. So having cleaner lines in my rooms is a good thing.

Builder still hasn't come back to me after my phone call on Monday I'm going to try to phone this morning before I go out to my dental appointment - the crown is being fitted today.

Plus, when I go out, I'm going to buy some long handled shears - my Robert Dyas has them in, Wilkinson Sword, for £20 - chopping back the ivy behind the quince bush will become a lot easier, and that will help the quince bush not to stray over the path quite so much

Not much going on today, cos of the dental thing (and the rain) - I might well shred the security papers, that would help the tidying up

Hope that you get the builder & the dentist goes well.

I haven't tried for the builder but the dentist hasn't happened either. Turns out they've been doing "just in time" delivery - and the van broke down, so my new tooth didn't arrive! Repeat appointment tomorrow.

Loppers went better: it was the Ultralite that were on for £20, so I bought standard, same brand, for £15. So then I bought a new trowel as well - carbon steel, hardwood handle, for £7. And somehow the bill has come to £17 - there must be a "% money off at the till" offer that I hadn't seen

Good shopping there then

So more the quality of "Just In Bieber" than "Just In Time" then.

Does make you wonder how they quantify in a financial sense the saved storage space for a day of a whole tooth...

Or they can't count. Either way: SCORE!

Totally agree with this - I'm not a tidy person though, so I find owning less is the only way to achieve this!

Great result at Robert Dyas and I hope the dentist goes well today (Agree with Z - that tooth must be huuuuge to cost that much in storage!):rotfl:

Hope your tooth is sorted soon!!

Thank you all

The insertion of the crown that finally turned up (yes I know - the Koh I Noor diamond must look funny jammed into my mouth :rotfl: went extremely smoothly - my young whippersnapper of a dentist really knows what he's doing. Local anaesthetic still took it out of me, so I still had to rest. All done now though :j

And straight off on a Nat Trust visit today - a slow and steady one, nothing spectacular except a really long view across farmland, from the tip of a steep slope. Incredibly beautiful.

Nothing whatsoever of any moneysaving value has been done today but days like this are *why* we do moneysaving.

Sounds like a lovely day.
