My journey to a debt free life

If you renew your library book by phone you could save some energy and reward yourself with a sit-down (while painting the doll's house furniture. of course).

Hope you feel better soon - doing ceilings is guaranteed to be hard on the arms.

I had to take it back because I had finished it and t was cluttering up my room:rotfl:

I think this is probably why I've put off doing the ceiling for so long,I hate doing them because I know how hard it is on the arms, not to mention all the paint I tend to get in my hair,I had started wearing a shower cap when painting ceilings but don't have one now

I have such a backlog of jobs that need doing so it's about time I made a start,I think the decluttering has spurred me on to get things done,I'm not usually this energetic so I'm ma,I g the most of it before it disappears :rotfl:

Yay I got all the jobs in my list done today so I'm a happy bunny,I also forgot to add cleaning out the chickens to the list,I got that done as well and while I was out in the garden I cleaned the trays on the bird feeding station I have in the back garden and refilled it all,I have a couple of little robins who like to visit the garden so I've put some treats out for them,I need a new bird feeder though as the squirrels have destroyed the one that was on there,I will have to try and find a squirrel proof one,they had some in wilkooos today but gaps for the birds to get through looked tiny so I didn't buy one
The hob got an unscheduled clean this evening too because when I was dishing up the tea I managed to knock a whole pan of gravy all over the cooker top,DD had to quickly make some more gravy while I tried to stop the spillage from going into the cutlery drawer

I've now got a second load of washing in the machine that I'm just waiting for so I can hang it up then I'm off to bed,I'm working tomorrow but I'm on a late so don't have to be there until 12 so I can have a lovely lie in,the house is all clean and tidy as well so I can have a nice relaxing morning before I leave

I'm still in quite a bit of pain in my arms so I'm hoping it will have calmed down a bit by tomorrow,if I keep myself busy it should be fine,I only notice it when I'm not doing anything ,I use a cream called Pernaton Gel for my painful joints and muscles which works really well,I covered my arms in that when I went to bed last night and it soothes them really well

I've found some more things to declutter today in the cupboard where I keep the lunch boxes so might sort that out on my day off if I have time,I've got to get the painting done first so I will see how long that takes

Well done on all you've done today, especiallly as you didn't feel great to start with.

I hate painting ceilings too because it makes my neck ache as well as my arms and I hate getting paint in my hair too.

Luckily it's only a small ceiling in my bathroom,my living room ceiling is 18 ft by 14 ft and covered in horrible swirley artex painting that one is a nightmare,hopefully one day I will be able to have it plastered so it's nice and smooth:)

Oh dear, you have got it bad, haven't you? :rotfl:

I think you could treat yourself to a shower cap or make yourself a mob cap once you have some energy. I do agree though - decorating would be easier if it kept out of one's hair. Can you tie a scarf round your head like the ladies in the old postcards? You could whisk it away if a TV crew happened to turn up...

Wow it sounds as though you have been very busy while I have been away. Well done on the bathroom. Does sound like DD was being a bit unreasonable expecting you to help her with the book case when you were busy. Glad she has seen the error of her ways and started being nice again.

I've got a couple of old tea towels actually,I didn't think of that,I can channel Lawrence of Arabia while I'm decorating :rotfl:
