For example why have I had for over 15 years a bottle of surgical spirit in my medicine cabinet but I’ve never used in that time - Well I did on my right foot when I used to walk a lot and not use a wheelchair!

I hope the sore throat disappears!I like the Three R Goals. I think a lot of folk keep 'just in case' stuff and then find it's out of date down the line so having a good old clear out is a positive step.Finally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟

Thanks @Seasidegal58 - I am from a family of #justincase unlike my OH who would be far more of a minimalistIn todays offering is a book The Switch from the monthly charity Bookclub #Samaritans - really enjoyed it - was gripped between 4am - 6am when I seemed to be wide awake !!I use to keep books on the bookcase to a) prove I’ve read it and b) reread
Now a days I only keep absolute 5 star ratings this was a 4, record it on a challenge website and then if not work much with one of the second hand websites (10p!) pass on to a friend. So in my friends bag it has gone.
In other news - sore throat has abated - hoorah abs I feel more like a cold !OH is still positive Day 7 !Financial Review tomorrow xAs a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or

Hello Dear Diary and friends
The dreaded Covid not as mild as I hoped full of cough and catarrh with bo get up and go
Sitting here with a cat on lap and having sat at my desk for an hour or so and I feel exhausted - hey ho
however I am plodding on - and managing to tick a few things off a list.
3 Rs challenge
Last couple of days I have put a plastic cat toy and a bedside lamp in the charity box - neither being used.
I have paid off all my income to the debt and have looked at our debt spreadsheet
I have filed my tax return - no tax to pay !I have asked for an extension on my essay excepting I’m not superwoman
I have attended supervision for placement.
I have finished a book - 1 down on this years target ( I failed on my total last year - too challenging re the amount of study I had to do )
have done craft everyday for my new challenge #365daysofcraft
I have helped put all the Christmas decorations away
I have caught up on a lot of TV - so pursuing clear the backlog of recordings !I am plodding with Covid into the New Year !As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or

Evening all
I am officially feeling unbalanced a combination of not been outside from home since Christmas Eve discounting the run to the postbox on the 27th with PCRs 😷 last day isolating tomorrow…
and being 101 days late on my period - no I’m not pregnant the delights of being peri - menopause - 25 day cycles 😳
I am craving McD’s
I still have a cough and catarrh haven’t done a lateral flow as I can’t bear the thought of still being positive….OH has decamped to the spare room and currently has both the cats as he knows I “need my space” #crankyinsominacwoman !!!I am catching up on diaries
I really missed seeing the Sea at New Year
stomping tonight rather than dancing 🤣As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
