Forgot to say well done for the transformation of DD's room Pigpen. I would go with Tesco capped but we have only had contract since 30 sept 15 so out of cancelation period. Once this amount has been made in to a bill I can reduce the credit limit. He has never gone over before. One call to his gf was over 4hrs!
Bathroom S&s and extra scrubbing of pink bit on tiles near seals. Ds2 is talking to himself.

I have made a start on my bookcase - when the new windows/doors are fitted it will have to go so I have a stack of books for the charity shop. But they are going to have to empty the bag and give it me back.
I have also emptied one file of JIC stuff (stuff kept just-in-case) so that is in the box ready to go in the recycle bin.
I have 3 files - THREE FILES! of empty poly pockets.

Hi all,
Hope everyone is well.
I'm going to try yet again to join in and last more than one day this time. Baby DD now has a possible cow's milk protein intolerence as well as the silent reflux so we are back and for the Dr's trying to get the right combination. She's either angelic or a nightmare so I've only really done the basics since she's been born.
Ive collected all the dirty washing, put a load of washing on and phoned the Dr's so far today. DD has gone to sleep so i'm going to see what i can get done before she wakes up.

Wow have I found some mojo! Bookcase is in the hallway (hence reason it will have to be moved as the door will be reconfigured - atm it's in the centre of a double-width opening with two half panels; I am going to have one wider panel and the door moved to one side) so old paperwork is being shredded if necessary; or going iinto recycling if not. I will take poly pockets back into school. No-longer-needed tatty files are in the bin *fling* and I have added to the bag for the charity shop. While the fitting is a few weeks away the moving will be easier because of the work I am doing today!Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily Dickinson

Bookcase emptied, dusted, moved, vacuumed under and behind and refilled but with fewer items.
have also decided to read some of the paperback stash (which means not re-reading favourite books on the kindle) then they can be sent to a charity shop.
I put a spud in the oven about an hour ago, for lunch. Am going to pop to little Asd@ shortly, so will pick up some salad to go with the spud; I need some cat litter. And I will take the bag to Dog's rescue (nearest charity shop and with adjacent car park;)) en route.Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016

Dusty get-well wishes for your mum.
I've got a work at home day catching up on reports (no change there then). However, I finished one and emailed it at 1.10 am and have already received a call from the student who is pleased with it. Am part way through the next one on the list.
- DW on, mainly full of mugs from church refreshments.
- Emptied all bins in house.
- Did a bit of decluttering in RoD which is my office, as I felt it was getting to the stage where losing stuff was slowing me down.
- Put away a few things in the dining room.
Time for a quick :coffee: (did a few sit-ups while kettle boiling; small fry compared with the exercise I need, but at least it's an effort).Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.0
