Everyone Lost In The Ether

You know all the jobs you have had on the To Do list for months waiting for the wet afternoon to be tackled?

well the wet afternoon arrived so I got OH to help me sort out the bedroom drawers - and to save being bored he also put Howards Way on the laptop to watch - not actually watched this all the way through before, good wet afternoon film.

firstly all the drawers were emptied and the contents dumped on the bed and it was a !!!!!! OMG moment how much stuff was in the drawers. They have never been sorted out in decades, just random stuff rammed into them.

we categorized stuff and a basket of items was sifted out for recycling or the charity bag.

so now the small set of drawers is for underwear - big drawer for bras and 2 small drawers, one for fancy undies and one for everyday undies (about 30 bras but only about 5 actually fit now so these will be gradually culled as will the everyday undies)

The big set of drawers has 3 long drawers and 2 small ones - small ones I've used for facial wipes, soap and razors and the other drawers now house my posh toiletries and there is masses of space so I can move stuff that is stashed in other bits of the house into these and clear space elsewhere.

that and a general tidy up and dust around took less than 2 hours so that was a good afternoons work :j.

Come and do mine please and wardrobes

Very well said. It has been a harmonious place to be lately which is far more enjoyable than reading people sniping at others. I suppose it's the same as RL shame. I'm happy in my bubble and just came on to say

I have never cooked duck, but would have thought better up the right way cause of the fat where as a turkey is drier

TS.. don't go there!!:eek:
My DH aka Pops Aka 'grumpy old git' works as a handy man.. he doesn't seem to be able to say no to things people don't want:eek:
So this weekend we now have a new (to us) sofa and 2 chairs!! They are not black, which would go with the decor, but we now have 2 electronically assisted lazyboy recliners and a sofa in a dark brown colour:D and also the sofas we already had standing up on end in our wee dining room!!

They are like magpies :eek:, today he has acquired for free some white metal baskets that fit on to a rack but of course minus the rack. :rotfl:

Mr TS found us a sofa and armchair once but I made him put the old ones out in the garage first. Where ever I sat never wore through but where he sat always seemed to. So we got new (cheap) leather ones from Argos one year I was too embarrassed to have my mum over for xmas with the thread bare one. We still have them now they are brown not particularly comfortable though (what could I expect so cheap) but hard wearing.

Hope you don't have to dodge the sofas for too long.
