Things can only get better

Reading about all the menfolk leaving doors open and towels not hung up properly has reminded me why I love being single 😀

Me too!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your clothes decluttering is going well. Nothing better than a bedroom renovation to make one have a good clothes clear-out!😃. One day I'm going to have a minimalist capsule wardrobe but until I can make myself get rid of four sizes of clothes, I don't think it's going to happen!

I’d love a capsule wardrobe where everything goes with everything. Never going to happen though, I just buy random things I like with no thought of what it’ll go with 🤣

We have compost 🥳🥂 Loads in Wilko. Have been in the garden all morning. The garden pruner saw thing I got from Amazon is absolutely brilliant. Easily sawed through quite thick branches, I’m covered in scratches from the tree though. Shows how good the tool is because I’m very petite and haven’t got a lot of strength behind me. Between us we’ve put one of the garden screening panels up. Doing all the garden stuff today while the weather is good, bedroom stuff tomorrow. Not helped by Mr SA stumbling about all over. He’s driving me nuts 😩

Tonight’s dinner for me is butternut squash dhal, Mr SA having beef madras in the slow cooker. Really looking forward to putting my feet up tonight.

I’m absolutely shattered tonight. How I’ve managed to cook this curry and make onion bhajis from scratch I don’t know. Thanks to @RelievedSheff for the recipe for the bhajjs, enjoyed 👍 Have had a very productive day though and lots of garden stuff done. Weather forecast for tomorrow isn’t great so will focus on the bedroom and hopefully get the bed back upstairs.

I don't know how you find all the energy to do all the things you do, I would collapse 😀

Morning 

Got another busy day ahead sorting out the bedroom. Main priority is to get the curtain pole and TV bracket up then the bed. It’s a shame the new bed isn’t here yet. Also need the give the living room and bathroom a good clean. The hall and stairs carpet desperately needs shampooing from all the workmen coming in and out but might as well wait until after the furniture is delivered on Tuesday.

Making a nut roast for tonight’s dinner, will have a portion with Jersey Royals and veg, the rest will go in the freezer. Mr SA is having steak - well I think it’s steak, looked like it when I got it out of the freezer 😆

Will also need to take the dog on the park at some stage.

Forgot to add today will be NSD2 of June.

The bed is finally back in the bedroom 🥳 What an ordeal, we were ok with the base as it comes apart, but really struggled with the mattress, it’s so heavy. Fortunately DD is stronger than both of us put together and got it up the stairs like it was a feather. She’s almost 6ft and well built, nothing like me. Thank goodness for that. The next job is the curtain pole 😱

Yay for DD!🥳. Can't wait to see your photos once the bedroom is finished!😃

So we will be getting someone in to put up the curtain pole and TV bracket. Mr SA has made a right mess of putting the first curtain pole bracket up, it’s not even straight and he’s cracked the plaster. I’m afraid his DIY days are well and truly gone. I’ve told him he’s sacked and to pack his tools away 😩
