    No, sorry Valli, I've not heard from Lamewolf since her last post on here.

    It sounds, Narco, as though that organisation has taken a belt and braces approach to the new GDPR (regs). The powers that be has said there will be prosecution for breaches and most people in the know think it will be one chosen to be very high profile, like an education institution or even more likely, a charity.

    Helpful reading though, especially the post that says bio powders shouldn't be used above 40°. Does anyone know if that's true?

    This are summer jobs from the list which is now half written. One line is 'Clear the crap OUT'. This will mean NO MORE PILES. This will be a massive improvement. I've had heaps of 'when I get round to it' for a l-o-o-n-g time.

    I'm working my way through my piles and there are so many I honestly don't know if I'll ever get through all of them. I'm desperate to do so!

    Have cleared the bedroom clutter piles, have done some stuff in the kitchen and should be getting on with the swampy top layer of detritus on my desk, which ebbs and flows with the tide of time across the day. At the moment it's all pushed to the left - tide's out. Later on when I have to sort it, it'll be on the right, high tide. Springs in fact. In the meantime I'm going to bale out and go and do a bit of vacuuming and bathroom cleaning because the house is looking a bit tired and it just needs a bit of a facelift.
    Better is good enough.

    Bathroom not finished, painter is juggling jobs so has gone off leaving one coat to dry and will be back in the morning. No good news on my furry friend, vets still awaiting test results.

    Dragging myself through the paid stuff and not being very productive.

    Sorry to be a moaning Minnie, I know others have bigger issues than me

    Just spent my week off, 'summer holiday', clearing out the garage. Needed doing, was packed floor to rafters. Sent 11 large boxes and 2 sacks to various charities, another two boxes to go on Ebay when I have the energy to list them, and the rest went to a recycling centre, 2 carloads!

    I'm going back to work for a rest, lol. A bit more is left in the rafters and some paperwork to check and keep/destroy, but I've broken the back of it now. As a hoarder of 2 1/2 decades :eek: I am feeling somewhat reborn :A. Once it comes out of the garage, it does not go back in there.

    Um, now I suppose I have to tackle the house next.. oh well another few days off in October...:(

    Well done skull.

    Just don't move the stuff you clear from the house into the garage...

    Washing, which I managed to get *almost* dry has been ironed.

    Microwave cleaned, pots washed and the LR is almost finished.

    Well, that's the living room cleaned, including the window. Just noticed that hall & stairs were on yesterday's list..so I might keep going not least because the stairs are desperate.

    Just a heads up ... I'm off to a wedding on Sunday so I plan to put next week's list up on Saturday.

    15 binbags of charity stuff and rubbish taken out of the girls room. I have 4 boxes of clothes to sort through.. hopefully I will find some pj's for Twinkle as she has none at present. Tomorrows job!

    OH is being bossed to drop bags at chazzer tomorrow before I change my mind and keep it all like a freaky hoarder.

    I really need to clean the kitchen sides again.. *someone* smashed a bottle of oil a couple of days ago and hid the evidence instead of cleaning it up.. said person has been growled at.. I don't mind the breakage, these things ahppen.. but it needs to be cleaned up properly and I need to know to look out for glass.



    Moomin has her first work shift on Saturday.. right after a staff meeting.. They are ordering special tiny aprons in for her and Meem because they are tiny pocket sized mini-people!

    Anyhoo.. bed.. I need to shunt Twinkle back into her own bed.. she is lounging in mine!! Cheeky mouse!! Hoping to get her in a 'big girl bed' in the girls room once it is habitable in there.

    Have a great day everyone.
