Plus, you know what? I don't want to hand Mark Zuckerberg a photo of the inside of my house ...

Ping goes the lightbulb over here. That explains why so many pics of sofas on Marketplace are in people's gardens!

What a blooming carry on

At least the £30 is going to charity! Hope it goes well.

Madvix, SL, beanie, earthie - thank you peeps! Yep, thinking about the charities and deliveries was like playing 3D chess in Star Trek :rotfl: it got ridiculous, so it felt good to draw the line. And sofas in gardens, oh wow! I really like that way round the problem

My errand this afternoon was successful too, getting the security tag removed from the jacket I bought last year. It interfered with how I can use the pocket, and even more importantly it set off more security systems in shops. All done and dusted now though.

Morning all

Really good night's sleep last night, I'd staggered off very early, woke for the first time only just before 6am, that was great. So today I've done SB, the washing machine is on, and I put the rubbish bin out (too tired yesterday).

I've remembered another piece of furniture that can go to the charity shop: an IKEA footstool, that came flatpacked, of course, and I've never even opened the parcel. Since it can't do double duty as a pouffe and has no storage inside it (because it has no inside) it can go. I'm sure they'll take it, it's utterly pristine, and it helps the situation under the stairs.

I've just consulted my trusty to-do list on my phone. Today I could:
- upload a blog I've already written (and put the linkie on my contact info on here)
- send monthly money to bank for current account T&C.
- back up computer.
- clean shopping and put away (and clean another mucky bit of the sofa I've noticed)
- dig up another bramble I've found, have a chat to the raspberry rootlets
- I'd really like to do a bonfire.
- plus get a bit more of the garden waste out of the paved area.
- I really need to try to contact my ex-partner, set up a meet.

Okay, thats a nice mix of sedentary and active. I'll try to do one sort then the other :rotfl:

I've got a pristine Ikea item too - it is a shoe rack that is too deep for the space I had in mind. It is around 70 miles to the nearest store so we did not return it. It's a timely nudge KC as I have bags to drop at a CS next time I can park outside and may ask if they would like it (assuming it is where I think it is)

That's great, SL! This footstool package has just become part of the "background noise" of my understairs space, which is ridiculous. Although I'm only one person in a 3 bed house my work records, my hobbies and my 21st century "wants not needs" take up a sizeable amount of space.

Washing is out on the line, I'm starting to backup essentials onto the flash drive, and I've actually popped back here to copy the list of the priority to-dos :rotfl:

Miraculously there was room to stop outside and I managed to get rid of the two big bags and promised them more (so I must!) and they said "ooh yes please" (I wonder if they will use it for display of shoes rather than as a sale item) so it is on my list to remember it now.

Well done you, that's a real result

I had a quick chat with the raspberry rootlets and spent a good amount of time clearing this paved area - some went to the green bin, some was able to go to my own compost bin, and some, after a looong time digging up several brambles near the blackcurrant bush, some of it was in black bags that held almost fully decomposed leaves from ages ago and could be put straight onto my garden, lovely stuff. Only about 30% still to clear, hurray.

Shattered now, so I'm going to be sitting down for quite a long time
