Today I had the world's biggest lie in, then I did a bit of housework and washing. Then I gardened - lawn is mowed, slug attracting plants have been protected, I planted some replacement lavender, picked some veg and then I watered.
I am deciding where to put some dwarf agapanthus plants. It has become quite overcast after being a pretty good day.
Paypal have given me a £5 voucher I used it to buy a replacement money box for the one I accidentally smashed. A free purchase so I don't think it counts as a purchase. I am feeling quite proud of myself.
I have so many clothes in sacks in my spare room upstairs. They were so expensive but now I have a lodger I don't have any room. Unless I turn my upstairs storage room into a walk in wardrobe????? Sell or keep? I do hate clutter. I might have a word with the handyman.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -

It's just such a mess in that store cupboard and every year I add to it and never wear them. If I could borrow a clothes rail I would love to do a carboot.
The outside is colder than I thought it would be and not as bright. I blame the European elections. The results are so scary. My tummy was playing up again - I blame the veg I picked from the greenhouse but it seemed crazy to waste them. I have slept for most of the day as so tired.
I have done a clothes wash and may take today off from marking.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -
Today I ironed and did a bit of tidying. I have washed almost all of my clothes as the weather was ok for drying.
It's just nice being at home and chilling. Tummy still sensitive so I am living on white toast as bored of crackers :jAiming for a minimal spend 20220 -
Plans for today:
- [STRIKE]Start first load of marking[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]Ordering a clothes rail for carboot[/STRIKE] paid £15 including delivery just waiting for arrival:T:T:T
- Gather anything I can carboot into a pile in garage. Im going to be ruthless. I have been watching all these minimalism videos and am getting really into it.

Skinty has inspired me to declutter. It seemed to be more entertaining than marking so I thought I'd have a go.
This morning the clothes rail arrived. I have collected a bag full of ceramic and glass doodahs to sell in the carboot. I will try to do something whenever i have free time.
It's quite cathartic. I quite like being an upside down Womble. I wonder if I will raise any money? so far it's cost £15. lol. :money:
Tomorrow I have to pop into work and then I hope to continue with marking.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220
