Charly take care,sending hugs

Upsy I was also going to say takeaway menu from decent ones. In the bin dates did you put a note of what goes in each type ? So confusing nowadays if you move to a different locale as to what combination goes in each colour lol. Im sure i put nearby bus stops and where the buses generally go in for my tenants. Other than that I think you have covered it all.

Rather rapid countdown to the removal men arriving. As we are moving to a house already owned by the family, we offered to be flexible with dates to reduce the cost, eek they have said they can come Tuesday!

I thought I had been good with throwing things, but the list of boxes I have is up to 70 already (many are small boxes and they are colour coded too) and that's a bit scary. I have been having to sort things into what can go next week-heavy/bulky stuff and what we need for the last 2 weeks of living here (it's more convenient in the short term). Each room has a list on the door of what can be moved by removal men.

I have another box for the charity shop without having a serious kondo head on, so I hope to get a second filled and away on Monday. I need to crack through some papers tonight which are work related as I don't want to move them but they need shredding. I do think I will have a couple of kimono boxes which isn't ideal but time/speed is coming to play and I will note the boxes need to be dealt with.

Right cuppa finished, better get on

Upsy I don't know how your place is decorated but a list of the colours you used so that they can touch up if the moving men scuff the walls?

Good farm shops nearby? Good local tradesmen?

Upsy how about the nearest post office, cash point, petrol station, good takeaway places. Also window cleaner and any tradesmen, builders or roofers that you have used for your old home.

Upsy - notice you have left instruction manuals for your tenant. Would suggest you take back up copies of them in case you have another tenant in future and some go AWOL!
MMF - after the dental appointments the dentist recommended I get an electric toothbrush. Cue having a delve in my purse for a Boots voucher left from my birthday - AND not only enough to pay for it but a couple of squid left on it!
DH is having a general tidy/sort out in the garage - doesn't necessarily mean anything will go though He was going to put some wall brackets up for a shelf but I remembered we had a spare plastic shelf rack I was using in the garden so that's in the garage now. Less work for him and two useable shelves insteads of one and a redundant piece used - and he's decided that DS1 can have our garden shredder - I'm feeling a little bit skippy!!!
