    CY I hope progress continues.

    Was confused this morning to find a huge (4 pints) bottle of milk on the doorstep. Our usual Thursday delivery is 2 pints, but I'd cancelled it - and received a confirmation email - yesterday. The freezer is already packed with stuff, so I will have to do some juggling.

    Have decided to put 3 items away from bag in bedroom each time I go in there, then it will be sorted.

    Various bits of paper/emails needed to be done this morning before I go to uni.

    Filled all bird feeders, must bring up the one which hangs outside my office.

    if I may ... http://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/YarnBaaBaa

    CF is again making up lies about the boys. I am speaking to the solicitor about a non-molestation order as he keeps coming to my house and is distressing them and peeing me off. He is a twisted sick f*** and needs to die.


    Anyway.. cuppa and flinging for me.. I've had no sleep, no cuppa and have a house like a bear pit!! I rather need to list some ebay gubbins too.. booooorrrring!

    Battling on with paperwork which seems to have spread itself round the place despite me being away.
    Case not empty yet but improving.
    In the midst of all the catching up, I remind myself that I'm enrolled on a Mindfulness on-line course which started last week. Of course I've been too busy to do any of it yet. Sigh.

    Neveah a big YUK to dead rats.

    Just decluttering a :coffee: but have hung up bird feeder outside office window so hopefully will get some visitors. New window without condensation I might add, the room/house seems much lighter.

    The dead - or half-dead - animals are one of the things I am not looking forward to about the cats finally going in and out as they please (we had to keep them in for a month when we first got them - that was up on Sunday so this week we've been letting them go in and out in the evening and then calling them in before bed. Cat flap gets fitted Saturday). I've already told OH that he's on dispatch duty for any 'presents'.

    Had a pretty good day's flying yesterday so hoping to build on that today. Got a meeting at paid stuff this afternoon so busy morning but will hopefully mean only a 15-minute journey to train station home - more flying time!

    Thankful Thursday: Bedroom(s)

    [STRIKE]Start off clearing that floordrobe! Can any be flung?
    Then dewebbing and dusting the fluffy surfaces
    And then vacuum...[/STRIKE]
    Level 2
    [STRIKE]Strip the bed. Air and turn the mattress if needed.[/STRIKE]
    Is it nice enough outside to get the summer duvet out to air before storage? Although mine never made it out of storage, brrr - No summer duvet here!
    [STRIKE]Choose your cosiest bedding to replace.[/STRIKE]
    Level 3
    [STRIKE]Wash a window or two
    Wipe door handles and light switches
    Dust your light fitting[/STRIKE]

    Hugs CY I guess she's trying to help. Can anyone tell her to stop ;) thinking back, when the shpoop hit the fan in our house a few years ago, my brother sent a massive online shop from Waitflower. Was a lovely gesture, but totally full of stuff I was so unlikely to use. Spending time whizzing between nursery and hospice I really needed pre-packed sandwiches, gallons of milk and cereal and three jars of coffee. Not stuff I needed to cook.

    As he said afterwards, it made him feel better *shrugs*

    Been whizzing about upstairs and now need to pack. My mum said she will stay here Friday night, but still wants me to sort kids clothes out for the weekend. But not put them in a bag in case I forget DD leggings again (don't remember the first time!).
    I'm all upside down.

    Beavers tonight. Gah!
