Have had a little bit of empty nest sadness since last night..

Still, I turned it around and decided to be proactive..

Dishes packed away.
Bathroom swished.
Upstairs bins emptied.
Hair washed
Wardrobe/baskets/storage sorted through,large bag ready for CS/recycle/bin:T
Hot chocolate decluttered:cool:
Making a list of things I would like to do.. FOR ME.. (Think I’ve spent so long living for others I’m not sure what to do for myself when I actually have time!)
Ooh.. WM has just finished.. off to put it all on horsey:rotfl:"There's a little witch in all of us"🔮🪬🧿DEBT FREE 06/2018Mrs SD’s Decluttering 2025 ⭐️ 🥇🥇🥇0 -

Somebody (Kaz?) posted about washing her car...this has prompted me to do mine. I've also checked oil, washer bottle and coolant. Barometer has moved significantly (into the dry side) and washing is flapping in a gentle breeze.

Being put to shame by you all, as I am struck down by a serious case of cba. 1 load of washing done and shirts have been ironed. It’s a beautiful day outside with lots of dripping icicles. I’m wandering about wasting the day, which will frustrate me later. I’m going to have lunch then give myself a talking to.0

Fayolle your CBA vibes have drifted over here. Have taken one GF to work, shopped for bread and milk, eaten leftovers for lunch and now collapsed on sofa.
There is clean washing to put away, the dog could do with a walk, the utility floor is filthy, I need to meal plan. But I just want to sit here.0 -

Well its a lovely sunny day but bitterly cold here, lots of black ice around this morning.
Did a HHC whilst DS napped this morning, I:
Unloaded DW
Put baby clothes in WM
Cleared kitchen sides and wiped down
Wiped items before putting back
Wiped door fronts & fridge
Cleaned hob & wiped extractor hood and font of cooker
Wiped windowsill
A little while I took the dogs for a nice brisk walk, and now sitting here decluttering a cuppa whilst DS has second nap of day.
Nice roast beef for tea so looking forward to that.
Some of you have had loads of snow...13 inches :shocked: We normally get barely any in Norfolk, so slightly jealous but also relieved.Mortgage overpayments 2014 £175
