. Boo2. Remi3. underlay under the carpet , makes it comfy to walk in socks !4. The crate - was using as 3 minute punishment for Remi eating the plaster of the wall but we figured it was 99% due to him being over tired so now it's for napping. (We tried positive reinforcement but not worked for 4 weeks) . Remi crate trained himself pretty much over the weekend !!5. Cuddles with Remi6. Cuddles with Boo7. Chinese food8. Medicine for bad toes - I have 2 very infected ingrown toe nails and first day I've felt relief from antibiotics9. Kong Wuuba Comet toy for Remi, he lives it and Remis sooo happy and proud of it... he prances around with it showing it off to us 🤣🤣 also a good distraction from walls at some points10. Coffee11. Feeling like we are getting back to our old routine but with our new fur baby, Remi
12. Boo sleeping on the floor to hug me at night because I've missed sleeping next to him. It's because Remi used to sleep with us since we got him on December 6th 2021 but In the early hours of boxing day, remi had a screaming fit to the point where we thought it was a seizure. He bit my husband (Boo) and didn't let go during the episode so we took remi to sleep in the playpen which is in the diner part of our livingroom/diner and we slept on the sofa incase it happened again so we could comfort. He had it 5 more times after that on the following days. So we've been sleeping down here still since comforting him in a low calm voice helsp break him out. He's stopped for 4 days now as we've played relaxing music at night to help him relax . Tomorrow we will go back to the bedroom. Vets were contacted about the fits but they said it was behavioural , could be many things or could just be over stimulation and will snap out of it... Praying tomorrow he will sleep soundly still in our bed🗑️Mission Declutter & Clean 2022🧼 - 105 Items
Onto building a life I love x8 -
Good morning
Camping out in the bedroom whilst the patio door is replaced. It's a lovely bright day but still a bit nippy with the door removed !
Bala - hoping mum continues to do well. You're really having more than your fair share of worries. Hugs x
Frith - talking of worries !! Bigger son needs a whole category to himself! Hopefully his eye will be ok now.
Re Father Brown - I used to love the books but somehow have missed the tv programme. Will check that out. And also look for the books. It must be 50+ years since I read them so I think I will have forgotten whodunit.
Right, a day of enforced laziness awaits. Oh dear. Never mind.
Happy Sunday everyone

Day 6 and my LFD is -ve. if tomorrow is -ve i can at least go walk the dogs!!! and take my empty jars to the bottle bank at the end of the road. blown away by my lovely neighbours who have been so generous in their good wishes and offers of support. so far in my enforced laziness i have replenished the bird feeders and sorted their water, cleaned my bedroom, had another sausage-free cooked breakfast (sorry admiral), decluttered 14 freezer clips that i never use cos they're too small (d'oh) and now my washing is ready to go out on the line. 12:30 I will of course be following Luton admiral.MrsSD declutter medals 2023 🏅🏅🏅⭐⭐ 2025
