I had a quick glance and charity bagged clothes, if I had a proper look they'd end up in my wardrobe.
Perhaps the card sender is attempting to get ahead and it's one less thing to do.
Hope you feel a bit better tomorrow.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.1 -
Please try to rest it is a dreadful time as there are so many bugs about. I need to sort out and put away my winter clothes you have inspired me as it will make my wardrobes tidier. I will try to do it in 5 min shifts and be ruthless.Aiming for a minimal spend 20221

Thanks MF SW & Lw2go. I started feeling a little better yesterday afternoon but spent most of the day on the sofa watching tv. Each half hour if I felt well enough I would do one thing.Dishwasher loaded & on
”Dusted” the living room with a damp cloth to remove dust from the panelled door, skirting, dado rail & backs of sofa & chair
sorted a pile of papers/ receipts
Did some shredding
I am hoping to write my Christmas cards today. All food will be from stores.I have started moving money around to cover my upcoming credit card bill 😬 It’s all planned for apart from the locksmith which will come from my emergency fund and be replaced after Christmas.Shark 239.99Car mot 48Car Service 117.26Door / locksmith 189.770% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

Managed a lovely dog walk this morning. Blue sky & sun but lots of ice. 🥶 Bit shorter than normal as I didn’t feel up to walking too far & puppy dog has been v tired after her jabs on Friday.Crumpets with butter for breakfast with hot chocolate after our walk. Rested and snoozed in front of the tv. Lunch from the freezer. Did a bit more shredding. Wrote my Christmas card list and a couple of cards. Also sorted out a choice of 3 tops to possibly wear for my night out with the girls. I have dressy boots just need some black trousers/ jeans. I will have a look on Friday when I go into town on my day off (after having my hair done). Dinner from freezer.
