Really have to get this all done tonight. AND the office and sitting room. I have visitors tomorrow and at the weekend, and also have to get the kitchen/dining room and utility packed up by the end of next week so the builders can level the floors while I'm away. So the office is crucial as I need to be able to store a lot of stuff in there...0 -

Zack passed his health check with flying colours despite being just short of 20kg, except for anxiety which I suspected! I've been given some advice for branded pheromone stuff, so a little reading up to be done then I'll take action. I'm trying to avoid too many things being given to him so unless something major is happening I'm not putting him on the tablets! I'd rather try a natural solution first. He's been worm & flea treated today and I have an up to date quote for having him neutered, but we need to get the anxiety under control first as the snip could make it worseAlso walking there and back we seemed to run into every dog in the area so there was a lot of belly crawling and stubborn not moving from Zack because he wanted to go off and play. The one dog I let him get close to (as it was off lead and I couldn't get Zack to move so I didn't have much choice) decided to snap at him but Zack still wanted to play.
When I got home I sorted out tea, knitted and that's all I've had the energy for. Tomorrow will be more productive honestI'll need to pop the shop for milk etc, but the plan for the rest of the day is to do housework in theory.

Right, I need to go dispose of this fly which has finally died. I've tried evicting it through open doors & windows but it wouldn't leave so the fly spray came out.

Cleared a few bits of junk of the bedside cabinet and plan to go through the underbed drawers today.
Rediscovered a nice pair of too long denim curtains in the airing cupboard that will look lovely in the bedroom now it's blue so plan to shorten them and get them hung today as the cream ones that are a bit short and literally sit on the windowsill are looking a bit yellow agains the blue and once the cream carpet is in I think they'll look worse.
Started filling another CS bag.
Have a good day allSPC~12 ot 124
