Love your VE Day. We had a good day as well, including the Last Post played via the recycling/bin lorry at 11. With a clap for them as essential workers of course  

This weather makes all the difference. Hoping it stays xx

Aww that sounds fab!
Hoping the weather stays good, it makes it much better.

We had no post for 4 days this week as the local delivery office had 45 people off sick so this might be the reason for the postal delays.

This is what worries me, and is why I withdrew all the listings.  I was kind of hoping it would have improved a bit now.  Fingers crossed it's not too bad in the end.

I pulled out a load of photos last night with the aim of sorting through and organising them.  It's something I've been putting off for ages, I wonder how long they will sit there for now

My current project is photo albums! I've ordered photos from the last 10 years... going to be such a mission sorting through them when they arrive. It's the sort of job you always want to do, but never have the time to do isn't it!

Good luck with it!  Yes, it's all about the time, but also it's so overwhelming as there's so many!  It's not even touching the millions of digital ones.  It would be lovely to have it all sorted though.

The photos are still untouched

I found a photo book from our wedding that I can't even remember making!

I have however given our bedroom a thorough clean, pulled everything out as best I could, and under the bed as well.  The dust was horrifying!  I have sorted through and organised my dressing table and packed a load of stuff away.  Identified some bits to declutter as well.  I did the bedding too as it was so warm and sunny today so tonight I will have a clean bedroom and clean sheets!

I have a load of ornaments that I like, but will never display.  They are generally things I bought back from my travels when I was younger.  Any suggestions as what I do with them?  I don't want them out as they will just be dust catchers and clutter, but at the moment, I don't want to get rid of them.  It seems a shame just to have them shoved in a drawer though.

I have some ornaments that belonged to my mum which I'm not going to get rid of as they have sentimental value and remind me of her. When I can afford it I want to get a slim cupboard with glass doors to display them in. They won't gather dust then or clutter up other surfaces and I can look at them and I can enjoy the memories.

With seven children, my mum always had loads of ornaments.  She would put two or three out in rotation while keeping the others in a cupboard

Thank you both, good suggestions!

Hope everyone is well.

I'm shattered today, not sure why as I actually slept well last night.  Little miss and I went out for a walk this morning, little jwil had a zoom meeting with his class and teachers, and I've not really done much else!

DH is now selling 28 items and they've not gone out yet, eek!  I have one item listed which is the kids, it's not selling but has plenty of watchers so there's hope yet.

44 items sold 😱😱

That's brilliant jwil.  Was thinking about the postage delay etc.  Is it possible to put a caveat in the description saying you can't be held responsible for postal delays?

Excellent
