    Floors hoovered and mopped
    Ironing finished

    Off for a shower now and to load WM then I'll water the pots and head to town.

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Photogenic I've been Money Tipped!
    Prices of stuff looked up, noted down in a notebook and compared where I can before I go into town, email dealt with, washing dry so I can now get dressed :rotfl: But most importantly council tax paid online and the bill put in my dairy on the 13th June so I will remember to pay it on time ;) I'll pay the credit cards on Tuesday when I next get money in.

    Off to find some little safety pins so I can pin my top in position before I head into town. Since its warm I'm only going to be wearing a shirt instead of a hoody and the top I'll be wearing under it has a habit of travelling low in front and will end up revealing a little too much if I'm not careful! :o Also need to smother myself in suncream before I go. I am not going to end up burnt this year! Time to get sorted and head into town, I'll fly when I get back :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    *coping vibes* winging their way for you Pigpen. Am right in thinking vodka is a coping strategy in emergency circumstances?

    Froggie task of shortening three pairs of blue cotton trousers underway. I've been wearing them for a year with turnups which does not look good.
    Better is good enough.

    Just had some bad new. Friend has had to have a series of ops this year and during one. The surgeon made an error and now she needs another. Please could you send successful op vibes for her. She has 4 children. X
    That's terrible! But sadly, all too frequent, these days, it seems.:( Successful op vibes on their way.

    Now we have a new printer which has a flatbed scanner I may be able to get rid of more as can scan things in to keep if necessary. Someone on here already scans bills etc - brilliant idea.
    A lot of utilities etc can now provide bills online, you just download a PDF, so there's no paper involved at all. I've opted for as many bills this way as I possibly can; I just "file" them on a flash drive, under the relevant year, then when they're no longer needed I just delete the folder for that year.

    Oh before I go I have to tell you how old I was made to feel yesterday (I'm 38 in July). I was in HMV with my friend yesterday, he's 25, we were looking at dvd's and he says "Who the hell is Luke Goss?!" I says "You know the bloke from the boy band Bros" the look I got was similar to :huh: He didn't have a clue!! I explained and then bombarded him with youtube clips when I got home :D I'd like to add I was never a "Brosette"!! I loved NKOTB :smileyhea
    Fwiw, I have no idea who Luke Goss is, either; I've heard the name Bros but have no idea who they are really, or what their music is like; and I never heard of NKOTB. My vintage is more T.Rex, Slade and Alice Cooper.:D

    I've managed 30 mins light gardening out the front this morning; I'm terrified to be out there alone, but I took Daisy with me, attached to my belt by her extender lead, and wasn't too bad. Daisy loved it, of course; she made friends with the little dog from across the close, who had got out and decided to visit us!:o
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
