Travelling On

teapot2

Busy busy, well done on the SB surveys. I still haven't put my suitcase away from the end of Sept holiday

I also hate packing away. I have now dried the drinking water containers (in the warming oven(!) and nearly done all the washing (although I want to wash all the floor mats from the van to minimise stuff that might get damp while we are not using it. I have the washing mountain to start today too.

Thanks both - the aftermath is quite something, isn't it!

Today?
- rehoming rosemary babies (see what I did there? ) into the house.
- yet another birthday, in 3 days time, I'm sure I have a nice card in my stash.
- get the big suitcase put away.
- more slow tidying and cleaning.

Rosemary has been rehomed (twice) once to make sure the spiders went somewhere else, and now into their permanent positions on windowsills. One pot doesn't look well, but I'm still sending positive vibes to all.

Didn't do the other stuff - I had a *cracking* headache all day, and I've developed a sore throat overnight Hopefully the headache is from the U3A meet, which was painfully loud in the interval etc, and the throat is just a mild reaction to the vaccine, I've never had a reaction before, but there's always a first time. I'm telling the universe its not the beginnings of the flu or another crappy virus. I'm off up north next Monday, and I can't really afford not to go - we're driving to Yorkshire to lay our mother's ashes with my dad's.

Today: catching up on that to-do list. Slowly, with dedicated rest periods

Take it easy xx

I will beanie, thanks Sorting inboxes, clearing downstairs, sent another birthday card, got the recycling out, filled in a survey form for Fred Olsen they won't be entirely happy with (staff are brilliant, communications policies are not).

I've spent £1.98 of vouchers on two kindle books, get me :rotfl:

I'm not racing, but I *am* making sure that each action (as opposed to rest) contributes to the overall aim.

Hope you’re feeling better today Karma!

Karmacat

I am, thanks I haven't quite started my day yet, found an online article I had to argue with :rotfl: so I'm not quite there.


Erm, I had to bring in the recycling bin at 7 this morning :rotfl: I got the week wrong. Didn't put out my actual bin because it had one single use porridge oats bag full of rubbish and sellotaped closed which is me re-using plastics where I can. But the binman, thinking he was doing me a favour, has taking it from my front yard and emptied it anyway which was kind.


Right, 10 minutes on here, and I'm off! More later.

I always relied on neighnours to get the right week for the bins - but now we literally have no neighbours so I regularly forget :rotfl: always embarrassed at the thought of the bin men coming about a mile off the main road to get to us when I've forgotten to put the bins out anyway and I can't rush out with them either as the drive is really long so by the time I've spotted them they've turned round and gone

Hope your headache has passed now

I love my local council. You can sign up for an email reminder which comes early the day before. That way I have a day to make sure the right bins are filled as much as possible! Somehow they missed for 2 weeks & chaos reigned. It might be worth checking if yours do the same.

Good suggestion bad memory, I'll check. I don't hold out much hope though. When we moved here they made us pay for wheelie bins, then we spent weeks reporting that they hadn't been collected each week, until after about 3 months someone turned up with a box full of plastic bags because apparently our lane is too small for the bin wagon so we get a special separate collection for awkward people, but most of the people in the bin office didn't know that :rotfl: :rotfl:

Took several more weeks for them to come and collect the stupid wheelie bins they'd sold us and give us a refund.

They date on the website for collection for our postcode refers to the wheelie bin collection (for people closer to the main road) and ours is a different day, so I don't hold out much hope for a reminder service :rotfl:
