Fly lady.....

I want you to take a look at the stashed paper clutter. Drawers and closets are nice out of sight places for a stash and dash. Set your timer and check these places for any paper clutter that has found its way into these places. Don't forget about the bathroom! Magazines and books are paper clutter, too. If you have read through it and have not touched it for over a month, it needs to go.

...hmmm...

...paper clutter...:eek:

...I'm still contemplating that pile of mail from the other week...:o

...this month's challege is...
...er...
...um...
...well...

...let's just say it's a challenge...

I have put a small box of paper into big recycle container each day though I fear it's just everyday stuff like packaging!;)

Woo Hoo to being paid! - every little helps with the cash flow!:D

The cash has now flowed back out and into the kids/car account.



And thank goodness its not just me with the paper clutter. I have to admit its just horrific to contemplate.

So you are so not alone. I did this morning open a drawer (just a peek) and take out an old catalogue and some other bits but then closed it as it was mainly DD's school stuff. Not mine to interfere with.



Morning lands and lovelies - proper anniversary today - I'm achy and stiff from yesterdays lugging at work, ended up in bed early with a hot bottle. Maybe I'm losing my invincibility super strength. Although we did lug 46 crates of potted bulbs up the hill one by one (two folks to each crate).

Brisk morning here.

Hens and mutts fed.

Kettle seems to be broken........boo.

Banks done and updated the work spreadsheet. So far last month was over earning so that's good, but it can all change in a heart beat.

Picked up some cones at work, well cos I could and now drying in a bowl in evil ice cave.

Had heating on twice this month so far for an hour - at night and only in one room. Been woodburners beside that.

Who's still managing without?

Not me!:D


We just got our thermostat fixed & now have a program running to keep the house warm when we are home and on frugal setting when we are not! Thermostat is so old that it's not smart enough to understand weekends so we have to manually over-ride it!


We have a fireplace in the living room but discovered there is no grate or ash pan in it! - there is kindling in the shed, but no wood! Guess that will need sorting soon!

NO WOOD - lies down with damp tea towel on head. I'll do you a parcel!

Don't think grates or ash pans are too expensive my stove doens't have a grate.

Work done 6.5 hours - mutts came so dogs walked well over lunch.

Tired today, think weekend is catching up on me.

OH has a sore back at the mo had physio today - has healthcare as a perk at work, and now needs a bunch of physio sessions. Thankfully it seems like they can help his herniated disc - yikes.
