    Monday has been an extremely dark day but no rain so far :T I have also been extremely lazy :p
    Got up late, had a cup of tea & put 1st wash load on, made myself a coffee then had a relaxing bath & washed hair. Body lotion, hand cream & face cream applied. Feel wonderfully relaxed 😌 :D so I am clearing down my planner whilst having a mug of soup. 2nd load of washing done & 1st load in the td.

    3729 - 3732 Two drinks tins, glass bottle & metal cap, newspaper - Recycled

    I've just started this challenge for the first time.

    1. Child's car seat - gave it away to a colleague at work instead of chucking in skip.

    I might find it hard to top this one!

    560 - 8 weighty brochures recycled - I have sent 1 company an email to ask for them to stop sending them as it's a waste of paper.

    580 - huge bag of plastic recycling to the bin.

    581 - broken ornament dumped.

    584 - 3 gardening gloves worn out & dumped.

    587 - Another three things posted.

    588 - Hand Cream used up - container recycled.

    Did manage to remove felt pen marks off a cushion cover so will try & sell the pair I have on ebay as they are rather special just not needed now.

  • Well, still have not sorted my PC out so using laptop which I do not get on with. Have got new phones up and working although still donot seem to get caller id working - is it me? - now I get my moblity scooter ready as I still cannot hardly walk and have consultant visit fpr new knee looming and now thats not working, am still trying the recharge batteries method as have not used for over a year and that was just testing. AN engineer chappie is coming on Friday if battery does not work, new one could cost around £200 yukkkk. So whilst ready through manual to see if I had got the wrong end of the stick I de-cluttered some of the out of date insurance docs. Am also de-cluttering some of the unknown lumps of food in the easiest to get to freezer. Not a lot but trying still.
