    So sorry Honey bear I know it's heartbreaking. We lost Mr Mac recently. Big hugs pal xxx

    Today's effort had been, tidied the LR floor, gathered all the rubbish up, drank tea and ate rubbish.

    My kindle broke a few weeks back so I've been waiting for the sales to get a new one. Seen one at a good price online so bought it. Lifted broken kindle off my bedside table and the thing is working again :mad:

    Off to stuff my face with more rubbish!

    Honeybear and ffp so sorry to hear about your losses, may your happy memories console you.
    3 guests left today, my brother twice as he forgot a bag; he's already rung 2 or 3 times about other items! Looking forward to his present to us for tomorrow's dinner: he and sil hand made pasta and a sauce for each of us.
    Went for a walk with Mum by the river, damp and grey here. Bubble and squeak for lunch to declutter the veg.
    MIL stuck to her guns to staying home alone, of course with frequent visits from Mr N and bil. Yesterday eve she looked a bit baffled when they turned up early eve either Christmas dinner on a plate; seems she was in a skirt and make-up so presumably thought she was going somewhere. So sad.
    Must say it's all still looking pretty tidy here,surprisingly.
    Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.

    Oh no, Kelpie, how sad HB. Thinking about you.

    Wide awake. Being out of my normal sleep pattern does not agree with me. Putting tablet away and trying to sleep in a minute. Going out tomorrow, this week is going too quickly!

    Enormous hugs to Honey Bear. I'm so glad Kelpie enjoyed his turkey xx

    GWS to pigpen and all the clan, also to dancemum and family xxxx

    :bdaycake:
    Pigpen, you will need a new birthday suit soon if you are planning to lose much more weight - well done :T:T

    Many thanks to my Secret Santa for a truly unique gift!

    DS2 and family left mid-morning, after which I took a :coffee: into the LR, sat down, turned on GBBO and promptly fell asleep for a couple of hours :rotfl:

    I have knitted most of a wise man this afternoon/evening and (unsurprisingly) have 2 more to make when this one is done. I need them for 3rd, as we're doing an extra session in the school holidays to include older siblings.

    The beds in my study are staying made up until after the weekend when DD and family are coming for a night. I'm sleeping in here tonight as DH has a streaming cold which I don't want, and he can't use his CPAP machine so will be snoring loudly :(

    Morning all, lots of hugs all round.
    The pickle is just stiring after over 13 hours asleep, it was obviously well needed.

    Please can some one help?
    I was sorting my bullet journal for 2019 last night and reading through the first post at the top of the thread properly. The link to 'Toots marvellous welcome Post' works, but not the link from there to the 'master' list, which is what I assume people talk about when they say they are doing their 'Toots list' if this is the case, please can it be shared again for us more recent flyers? Many thanks.

    Today I want to either declutter the small boy's rooms, or find my dining room from under the Christmas bottle style presents. I think I'll start a new box for sending off to one of those book/cd selling companies.

    Wish.

    Morning Wish xx I have my Toots list in a separate notebook to my bujo. I don't think there is a master list as everyone's Toot's list will be unique to them. What I did was create a separate section for each room / space (I included back garden, front garden, brick shed, wooden shed) then I listed everything that needs doing (large or small) under the appropriate room heading and I now add things as they occur to me. Hope that helps.

    Back to work for me today. Bed is made; I am showered and dressed; pack up is packed - and includes banana, grapes, satsumas, and crispbread 'cause I'm tired and low thanks to overindulging in sugar, sugar, fats and more sugar; breakfast and a cuppa have been decluttered :D.

    I'll drop off the request for my repeat prescription on my way past the surgery. I have no idea what joy awaits me when I reach my desk....

    Have a good day. More hugs to HB xx Belated happy birthday wishes to Pigpen xx Get well soon vibes to all the poorlies xx Waves :wave: to LW- just because :) xx

    Ahh, thank you Round, as the word 'master' was underlined, I assumed it was a link to a master list, excited at the possibility of using a new notebook though. I do have several I can use for such a purpose.
    Oh the hours I'm going to spend planning that.

    In other life organisation, I'm now making use of the 'remind me when I'm at a certain location' feature of my phone reminders app. This should mean less forgotten things and duplicate trips places.
