    The walk sounds fun and interesting Sunshine :).

    It always feels good to get rid of things you don't use. Cable clutter I find particularly infuriating so I hope your Dad helps you to use them or lose them.

    Today I should be out walking , but owing to the terrible nights sleep I had , I am having to forgo it. GS slept soundly all night , so he didn't keep me awake. My brain just kept going over the previous week.

    Having hair done this afternoon at home , it looks like I haven't washed it forever . Have de cluttered sentimental clothing today ( words borrowed from HH diary ) and lots of it has gone to the charity shop. My DD only wanted to keep one thing. More space in the wardrobe.

    Dinner tonight is stir fry .

    Thoroughly enjoyed my BH at home , not rushing off here, there and everywhere. My hair is done again as well . Just need to sort out lunch for tomorrow then I am finished for the day. Have 3 bags for the charity shop tomorrow. Two eBay parcels to post on the way into work. We have a post office that opens at 7.00am near work ,it's very handy.

    Work will be busy as I have to cram in 4 days work into 3 , plus after a bank holiday we are always go go go. Have done some moving of money around today to balance accounts , so all good there .

    Dinner time , stir fry is awaiting me.
