When I went back to bed after being awake I tripped over a box in the dark and fell over. I mainly fell on a wicker trunk but I did squash a few mince pies :eek:. So I moved the box somewhere else as my floor space is too cluttered with Christmas stuff. I've got a bruised leg and gouged some skin out of the sole of my foot :eek:.
DH slept through the entire episode :rotfl:.
I'm going on my Saturday ramble this morning so I'll need to go early to beat the crowds.
Have a good Saturday everyone. Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

I thought it was only me who does things like that.
Hope you heal quickly and the Saturday Saunter is therapeutic. I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

The laundry basket seems to have filled up overnight, so I've sorted some out and put it in the machine, ready to wash in the morning.

Yes, I want to know how that happens ! As soon as you're really beginning to feel on top of it, then suddenly a vast pile of 'absolutely essential' washing appears. I feel there are a lot of overworked laundry fairies around.
A first this am - the milkman, because he's delivering Tuesday's order as well, left an entire milk crate at the door. Thank goodness he also included the eggs I mysteriously ran out of yesterday !
Enjoy your Saturday ramble despite your wounds. Obviously I'm not the only one with an over-cluttered house.0 -
