Breaking Through, Travelling On

Greent, I really didn't know that lavender was a decongestant - very interesting, that! I'll be harvesting my lavender plants next year. Also about myrtle, which seems to be a common plant in the UK, even grown as a hedging plant. Thank you!

It will be lovely to get that quilt finished - it was the last one my mum was doing, and it means that all the grandchildren will have a full-size quilt. We (her offspring!) all have quilts too, as well as quite a few other cushion-size examples.

It's a milder decongestant, for sure - but great in a blend where you don't want it to be *too* medicinal or stimulating

The quilts sound fab - what a lovely piece for everyone to have - getting that last one finished is, I'm guessing, very important xx

Brilliant pointers all, thanks! I ended up getting Olbas oil as a starter (all the essential oils with Prime cost double the price). Now that I've got tips, I'll stock up with a supplier of generic oils who gets very positive feedback

I'm glad that worked well for you, Ed. It's great that you're going with essential oils, I know you work hard on nutrition, it only makes sense to do the same with what you're putting into the air.

As far as the quilts go, yes, getting that last one finished off, especially before Christmas, is really important, a weight has been released.

I'm shattered today a very long, very lovely family event yesterday ... good heavens, I even got home in the dark :rotfl: so not much will be going on today - a few little bits and bobs online, including unsubscribing from my kindle unlimited experiment - I *really* haven't used it - definitely going to open the post, as I want to get on with getting the new phone working. Other than that, my dvd recorder is going to get a lot of use

Enjoy your restful day.

So, absolutely *nothing* got done yesterday, I just accepted it and rested.

Today, I'm back on the trail again
- dishwasher's just finished
- washing machine about to go on
- when thats done, I'll have a shower (better not do it at the same time!)
- computer tidied up a bit so its ready to get backed up.
- negotiating dates for travel to Merseyside.

After that:
- do the actual back up
- phone builder - info and specs, please! Comms aren't great this time.
- book tickets to Merseyside.
- get the phone going, for heaven's sake!
- clean the bathroom, which has a level of disgustingness I can't describe
- check bank for various bits and bobs.


And breathe ....

Breathe indeed.
That is some list.

I know, it looks a lot in some ways, doesn't it - dishwasher's finished, though, and the wm is on, thats good. Merseyside tickets: we know what dates we can do now. And it seems we've just sorted Christmas too, which is going to be **completely** different from how it's ever been.

Right now: buying the ticket, then phoning the builder. Has to be done! Will resume pottering about mse after that, I'll need it by then :rotfl:

I'm with you on that one KC! - after 3 months of a phone that is slowly grinding to a halt, I gave in and bought a new one - phone arrived Saturday & is still in the sealed box! Ended up talking to my sister last night instead of getting the phone up and running...

(at least the cover arrived in the meantime!)

Shall try again tonight!!!:o:o:o
