Travelling On

Karmacat

Normally, it isn't noticeable for ages, CR, is it. And then suddenly it is! Mine has always been noticeable with half painted walls, bad plasterwork etc, so I can't give myself that excuse.

Quite a big deal this morning: bagged up some stuff thats staying to avoid plaster dust all over it, and also booked a furniture collection from BHF - sofa, the vertical CD rack thats been my tinned goods storage, and a few other things too. I'm sort of expecting the sofa to be refused when they come along

There's going to be very little downstairs, but it will mean storage of the boxes of goods won't be too much of a problem.

If BHF refuse it, try the Sally Army or YMCA or a charity that helps re-home people?

If your sofa still has the fire safety labels on it they should take it.
See here and here for descriptions / images of what to look for.

I'm not sure I would have understood 'door' to mean 'doors' either ... :think:

Sounds like you've had a very productive day!

Thanks for this guys - it does have the fire label on, and realistically I think they'll accept it - there are a few marks I might swipe with a wet cloth, but generally it's just my paranoia

I was thinking of a door to walk through, and he was thinking 'cabinet' doors! Again, my paranoia is showing - never having ordered a kitchen, and finding some of his choices quite far from my personal choice, I wondered what we'd got into :rotfl:

I have, actually :j and I'm fairly surprised at that, because I woke up before 4am .... still, after the tidying this morning, managed to speak to my brother finally, then the raspberry cuttings-with-roots arrived :j and I was working for a *long* time to provide them with nice homes Amazingly, I really am at the stage where 80% of what I'm doing is only slightly more physical than ordinary gardening! Very little navvying still to be done, though there's loads of weeds. And the area I was finishing off today, some wild garlic has self seeded there, so I was trying not to kill that.

Brilliant :beer:

Ooh, raspberry canes and wild garlic - sounds lovely

greent

I think a pop of colour from the tiles sounds great

Good news re the gardening not requiring much in the way of navying now :beer:

Good morning lovely people Better sleep last night, which is also lovely

I'm very lucky with the wild garlic naturalising - I hoped, but didn't expect. Also naturalising are the sorrel (one bit in particular, a huge, perfect rosette) and oddly, the salad burnet, a very light little salad green. Unusual but welcome on my heavy clay.

Greent, you're right about the colour pop - I was going to use things, that I could change about, as the pop, but this is fine, it feels very Mediterranean in origin.

BHF have come back to me already - they tried to phone, but I was working on the raspberry canes so they emailed. I'll phone them shortly. I just need to make sure that everything I want them to take is gathered together, and things I *don't* want them to take are far away :rotfl: that's not the case just now :rotfl:

Otherwise, I'll be trying to speak to my sister now she's back from a long weekend abroad, and doing low key stuff in the house, I don't feel strong enough to go out, nor to do anything very physical. Feel fine otherwise though

Hope everything gets sorted out ok.
