It's been a busy week work-wise. And because of the short days I've had little energy to do anything after I finish - I've prioritised walks whenever I've had breaks during the day.  I took yesterday off which felt lovely and spacious.  When DS went to Uni 5 weeks ago I shoved lots of stuff up into the loft & it was all over the place.  It was nice to have a chance to put it in order (and close the loft hatch which I'd left open as I didn't imagine it'd take me so long to get back up ther). 
I've got the next two days free - may go for a government approved) walk with a friend this afternoon but other than that it will be time to relax and get a few bits and bobs done I hope...

Sorry to hear about your tooth Mrs SD
Bit_by_bit - Hope your DD is on the mend soon.  My DS is ill at the moment up in Uni - he thinks its probably Covid but if it is, thankfully he's had a mild dose.  Everyone in his apartment is isolating anyway as quite a few of them have tested positive.

Hope u feel better soon Mrs SD.
U should be able to get an emergency appointment. I’ve just had a dental infection that nearly put me in hospital and then followed up by an extraction and more treatment.At the beginning I thought it would be difficult but first spoke to the dentist and things went quickly from there, so hopefully u will be able to get it sorted and treatment. Toothache is the worst

1. WRITE/USE DECLUTTERING & CLEANING “TO DO LISTS” - MINIMUM 30 MINUTE BURSTS OF ACTIVITY AT LEAST TWICE EVERY DAY

2. KITCHEN WILL BE LEFT CLEAN & TIDY EVERY NIGHT

3. I WILL ENDEAVOUR TO BE NICE TO EVERYONE & TRY TO SEE THE FUNNY OR PECULIAR SIDE TO AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
4. JUST DO ONE THING (courtesy of bit_by_bit)

Saturday is a wet, dreary & dark day. Dosing myself with L*ms*ps & paracetamol & rinsing mouth out frequently with L*st*rine has meant that the toothache has abated considerably & I am feeling a bit more human 👏 However still finding it difficult to eat but as I said probably won’t do me any harm 😛 DH has spent the day watching the Motorcycle Racing practices & qualifying, DSis has spent the day watching TV in her room & I have spent the day watching TV & knitting. I have finished a 4th beanie & started a 5th. 

Dinner will be a choice of lo cheesy pasta & lo pasta Bolognese.

2096 - 2100 Kitchen recycling, 2 plastic bottles, 2 magazines - Recycled

Thanks TC77 👏 Great work on the decluttering & mending 👏  Thanks also for the info re 111 - I didn’t realise there was a dental line 👏

Thanks basketcase 👏 I am trying to persevere over the weekend & will try my dentist on Monday.

Great work EnergyShifter 👏 especially sorting out the loft 👏 Hope your DS has a speedy recovery 🤞 

Thanks for the extra info Happy_Kitties 👏 I quite agree that toothache is the worse but having said that I have nothing to compare it to - touch wood no broken bones & never a mother. Great work on the decluttering 👏 almost 500 👏

Brilliant decluttering greent 👏 one Gold Star ⭐️ on its way 👏 By the way your sig says 2100/2020 rather than 2200/2020 😉

Great work Rootle 👏

Thanks ailz95 👏 I had a great day & my flowers are still blooming 🙂
