Travelling On

Definitely sounds like the service would be a great idea - all gone in one fell swoop and you never have to think of it again - and imagine all the space you'll reclaim in your house!! What a fantastic achievement to have all that out of the way for Christmas! 😃

Aww, thank you both.  Yes, it's a Christmas present, I hadn't thought of naming it that way 🎄

KC - at work we use a shredder service - they rock on up in a truck and we can watch the boxes of paperwork get cross-cut shredded - it's a lot easier & cheaper than paying us to do it.  95% of our old paperwork gets done this way after the 7 year cycle is up!

I think you're firmly in bonfire or third party service territory there then KC! I😅 A Christmas present to yourself is a great way to think of it 🙂

Oh, I've seen the mobile services, RT, where they do it in front of you.  Nice one.

Squirrel, I'm glad you think so too, I'm not wussing out, but its really not a calming thing to do.  And I'd have to have sacks and sacks of it in the house till I got my car, whenever that would be, and felt okay about the route to the tip.  Yuck 🤣

Happy Days!

Woken up by thunder and lightning at 6.45, but I needed to get up soon anyway, covid jab today!  Not booked the flu one yet, I'm waiting to see if they offer it at the covid centre off the cuff, I've heard some do.  We'll see.  And the last of my supermarket plastic recycling is going with me, in case I feel okay enough to take it there afterwards.

Erm... enjoy your covid jab?! 

I love the idea of the shredding being a Christmas present to yourself - as Cheery says, all the space (physical and head) that you'll gain by having got it done and out of the house will be wonderful.

Yeah, it was lovely 🤣🤣🤣 well, it's efficient, at least 🌞 and they did give me the flu jab at the same time, so that saved a lot of fuss and bother.  It's nicely in time for peak protection at the 2 year old's party later this month.

It's good, isn't it!  I really like that.  And I also decluttered the remaining bags of supermarket plastic, then bought a few more bits - including tins of butterbeans, of course.  I love my butterbeans 🤣

I'm home, clean and dry, slightly shattered after getting quite that wet, courtesy of Storm Ciaran.  I definitely need a long lunch break after getting blown about like that.

You will be glad that that is done.

You're dead right, beanie, I will.  Had to take a break until now, more or less, however - moving my covid jab arm hurts, basically, which I expected after feedback from various people, but hey ho. Haven't really slept since 3.30, when the dog woke me up - he's alone for such a long period of time right now, and the rain must have been very loud on the roof of his prison   So I opened up my Asda app, and put two orders in - mid November and mid December.  I last ordered about 3 weeks ago, and prices have really shifted since then 😮 in fact I might do some comparisons - for my beloved tinned butterbeans, Asda are actually 5p more expensive than Waitrose!!!  Hard to credit, I know.

Anyway, today, washing out on the line, and that's about it, a late start because of the early awakening.  If I can get the dishwasher doing its thing, it might be nice to finally do the qu ... I'm not going to type the full word, I've said that so many times    I think today must be low key, with no heavy lifting.  The air feels lovely, so when I'm ready I might do a bit of a walk, bliss.

Hope you arm feels better soon Karma - covid jabs do tend to do that!

My Mum (diehard WR shopper!) frequently says that their own brand stuff is no more expensive than Morrisons (her easy alternative). She's done proper comparisons before now and it's definitely not more expensive for a lot of things. Perception is everything!

Do get out for a walk if you can - it's lovely out there today!
