Hello Skinty it's raining here too, Im so glad I mowed the grass last night. I am decluttering and ironing for the next two hours. I have till 3pm then I had better get ready for meal out.
Everyone is planning to go on glamorous hols and I will be here as usual but am looking forward to some nice places with my summer job. I can't wait to chill in garden and on the beach. I will walk as much as possible.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -
It was nice to meet up with my summer work friends last night. I thought the food wasn't that tasty but I was lucky - one of the group went home and was violently sick!
Today I am waiting for handyman and am going to do all of my ironing. (so far I have done 3/4s).Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -
My hols start next week but I have sorted through loads of sacks and been utterly ruthless tonight.
If I haven't worn something for a few years I have put it in the pile for carbooting. Lots of it is v nice timeless stuff but space is more important to me.
I will go through my xmas boxes tomorrow and get rid of some of that too and maybe some jewellery and some books. I am just waiting to hear from my niece and then will plan a carboot for the holiday.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -
