    Hi all,
    Thanks natty I'm in. Sort of. Filled the car with rubbish for the tip and all that has been off-loaded :T then realised I've not pulled the underlay up yet <doh>. Still, the rest has gone - hurrah!

    Also went to the cash machine, given DS his £20 back that I borrowed to pay for camp :o then we popped in B&M for some more bin bags and a birthday gift. They spent some pocket money and chose me some new slippers - all the ladies ones were printed with "Mr Grey" slogans which I wanst keen on, so DS found me some men's Mr Grumpy ones :rotfl: he said I had to have those, haha. I wouldn't mind, he's been a proper mardy wotnot today, lol.

    So, I've got a wash on at the mo and I'm going to make some snack and sweep through in a bit.

    Good to hear you're doing okay, CY xx
    Strength vibes to you, ionafan xx

    Shed tetris is ongoing; I am putting all the car boot stuff in there until the summer hols when I will do the carboot. Sister decluttered loads for me to flog. She also decluttered a bottle of gin as 'I have loads'. I tripped over the rake but the main injuries appear to have been my thumb and dignity. I have found paint touch up for the car I sold so I shall pass that onto the new owner *fling* and I plan a combined tip/cashforclothes run tomorrow.

    I've run out of DW tablets :eek:

    You just reminded me I didn't get any when I went shopping :mad:

    I didn't get out as early as I wanted as I had to wait for DD1 to get home so we could get weighed (put on so I'm not happy)
    I've been to Mr T & Mr A shopping, brought myself a nice new duvet so I've stripped the bed and bunged the mattress protector and pillow protectors in the WM.
    I started strimming the garden, got halfway but needed to change the strimmer cable and of course I can't find the brand new pack I just brought! :mad: So packed up and am now having a drink and watching Groundhog Day again, watched half of it yesterday, watching the other half today.

    Everytime I see it on the listing I announce 'Groundhog Day's on AGAIN' then snigger at my own witty comment:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Put last of stuff off garden back in shed; shed it much cleaner and clearer now - it had been a case of open-door-and-reach-in

    Nipped into town - and through M&S to see if they had any YS stuff - 3 TROLLEYLOADS OUT
    bough bag salad (25p) 2 x bags of washed spuds 1kg - 20p a bag and 2 pots Greek salad @25p

    Went to Savers for DW tablets; also bought fabric conditioner, bleach cistern tablets and other stuff - as always, cheaper than supermarket. Is my new favourite shop at its so cheap!

    Please note: There is no link between mention of gin and mention of tumble on last post. Gin still sealed, actually.

    Hi all x
    I'm in this week, big thank you to the thread givers xxx:T:T:j

    I've been stuck in my bedroom all day this is the first I've sat down.:eek:
    So it went a bit like this

    Striped the bed and flung in the wma and chucked on the rope when finished
    Cleared the floordrobe
    Emptied bedside cabinets of books and general tat
    Got a black bag and a box and rubbish/cs as required
    Carried on doing the bag/box/put away method around the room
    Filled 3 bags and 3 boxes
    Boxed up the nutcrackers that have been lying in my room since Christmas and put them past
    Sorted through my crafty stuff
    Removed the six inches of dust that was lying on the flat surfaces
    Hoovered the carpet, who knew that existed?
    Retuned the tv after I sent OH out to buy a new Aerial
    Got the bedding off the rope
    Remade bed
    Sent OH to the tip with the rubbish
    I'll get the boxed charity shop stuff over to the church on Sunday by that time I should have some more stuff.

    Just decluttered a sandwich or 4 since I was starving I now have coffee so it's all good!
    WM back on its Ben washing the sequel

    Not doing much else tonight I think SOMFA and knitting is in order. I'm probably in a position now that I can do the lists without being overwhelmed:T so I'm really pleased about that.

    1 binbag filled for chazzer
    1 binbag filled for the bin and
    1 binbag for DD1
    10 more things on ebeast.. well, 11 actually as a listing was removed as I sold it elsewhere.. I have to have a multiple of 5.. I'm a freak! :p

    It appears we are changing my name to OH's name and the 2 girls to just his rather than the hyphenated version.. that or I shall be known as Piggers Blenkinsop .. I LOVE that surname!!

    My mother suggested I used her surname and I said if you can say it I will change my name to it.. well, she had about 3 attempts and couldn't say it.. haha... that's why I haven't changed it to yours mother!! LMAO! It is also why My stepdads brother did not marry the mother of his son.. she has the same first name as me and it gets your tongue in a jolly old knot!!

    I did tidy the bedroom and changed the bed sheets at the same time as after two days in bed they needed it. I also had a shower and washed my hair for the same reason. I am feeling much better so hopefully am over the worst.

    The bed is now covered in books that I have been scanning to sell. Not many have been accepted but the rest will go to the CS. I need to go and find some boxes to put then in.

    Pigpen my maiden name was so much easier, was a plain old name that nobody ever asked to spell. Since I got married I've been called any one of about 5 different variations and always have to triple-check important documents and so on. Most annoying ;)
