Bogger - just lost the rest of the post when tablet crashed.

Basically no flying tonight, couldnt get off the ground due to excess stirfry and noodles and wanting to watch Silent Witness and Celeb BB on catch up. A lot of todays list was done at the weekend although it is one of my major challenges to get it all done - thinking AnW'smums dot to dot approach. Did laugh at the showing your knickers to the paramedics, I spent 30 years letting them see mine (but XH was a para, as was DH until he retired ) The job however does make you very aware of what you should be wearing underneath so I always wear matching sets and had a fling of any slightly greying or ratty ones at the weekend.

Lost all my thread replies too so from what I can remember

DeclutterBUG vibes for juliejim, Klfin10, Lamewolf and anyone else in need.
Hugs for ionafan for your friend, and mrsmoneypenny for your loss xxx

I'm not ailing honey bear but I have been working, which is almost as bad
I've kept going dusty I've missed 2 days due to work but today while I was eating my lunch I decluttered my in tray - hardly any of it paperwork but bits of wire and cable and other unrequired tat. Useable bits rehomed, rest flung :T

DS still being a grot, DD had a tantrum after swimming, and I've fed 5 people 4 different suppers. Pfft. Kitchen cleaned up after but I'm waay behind this week and there are dust bunnies breeding. But I had another 90min paid stuff tonight. And I'm still not done. So I have gone over my 21hrs (again) and emailed the boss man to say I can't keep it up.

So tomorrow I have a day with my little lady, who has grown out of school trousers and got a hole in her pinafore. So a spot of uniform shopping and some fresh stuff, then some FLYING is required!

Tomorrow night will be DS first night at Beavers. Aww. He was much relieved when I said it was for boys, he had it confused with Brownies lol. But he has been warned there are some girls go. Me and his sister for starters, lol.

Right. Will go copy the list into my notes then I'm off to bed!

Hugs for Mrs m-p and ionafan

Huh, back to the real world with a thump today as I didn't meet my target of feeding/mucking out horse before returning home to shower then going to uni. Fed and did basics, went to uni (did change a few clothes and wash at uni) then dropped into stables on way home to mix up next feeds and organise hay. Must get up earlier tomorrow.

Lots of exercise today; apart from horse stuff, had to park a long way from my teaching area today which involves a big hill. Had coffee with manager at lunch time, more walking as she's in a new office then back up the hill again.

OH kindly vacuumed as part of his rehab, and tidied a few things in the kitchen. He had several visitors today.

I've just sorted paperwork for tomorrow's students, have earmarked my 3 things to tidy away in the office then need to seek out something for today's disposal.

Bedroom not bad, did bedding etc a couple of days ago.

Next target I have set myself is finish tax return by Sunday.

you'd probs notice more if it was something really special like thongs or victorias secrets, i always try and wear boring plain white bras etc when going for medicals incase it embarrasses the drs (not that i make a habit of leopard skin or tassles normally you understand:o) i keep sensible pants for auntie flo and nicer ones for others times so have two sorts
climbs out of the hole i now feel ive dug into and skulks into attic for deccy boxes;)

Sorry Mrs MP, I know you've had very sad news since, but your tassles, or more correctly your lack of tassles, really do make me laugh! (((Hugs))) for your loss.

Bossy, I know your not lurgi-ailing, but you mentioned a procedure and sedatives a day or two back. That was what I was thinking about.

I've de-pewified the ex-chalet pedal bin and instead of it going up to the loft it will be going down to the CS tomorrow, so without meaning to, I seem to be keeping up rather nicely with at least one item a day being decluttered. The litter-picking is going apace - it doesn't look as though I'll need to go off piste any time soon; one or two pieces of fresh stuff appear every day.

We're working our way through the store cupboards and freezer rather than buying food to put into them at the moment with a view to making space in the kitchen cupboards. That's a form of decluttering, right? French fish soup with garlic mayo, and grated emmental with whoopsied M&S baguette croutons tonight, most of which was bought on my birthday trip last April.

Ionafan sening love and painfree peace to your friend, her family and lovely friends.
