    Morning Peoples

    Up a bit earlier than usual as I selected a delivery slot from 7 - 11 am for the exchange TD which has now been delivered. It sounds so different without the lump lump lump of the other one going round. There was definitely something wrong with it. Anyway we now have a better machine at no extra cost.

    Bacon roll breakfast eaten and was treated to an extra slice in the pack so naturally decluttered that as you wouldn't just leave one would you :D.

    Washing up done and draining :o

    I have put together the new pegboard on my desk and need to sort where I want the bits and pieces to go but that will be something that evolves over time. Especially if I go and buy a new AIO desktop PC (which I haven't said anything to DH about yet!)

    Little dog is doing some whining so I will probably take her out before I do anything else. I think I need to do a more focussed job search today and update my spreadsheet otherwise I will be sanctioned :mad:

    So hope you all have productive days and I'll 'see' you all later

    Hello all.

    The presentation is complete.

    Just having a cuppa and then I'll walk the dogs before the paid stuff.

    Just in from work.

    TD 1
    Pellet stoves cleaned and switched on
    Post dealt with, bank statements filed immediately
    Everything ready for big day of evaluations tomorrow

    Have a headache so now enjoying cup of tea and bisquits

    Think that will be it for flying, although will sort something out for dinner. But the sorted part of the house is still tidy so very happy.

    Evening everyone, thanks to all the flying lists the house is already much quicker to keep tidy, still got a few bits to declutter and must sort out the RoD. Also I want to create more storage as what I have is not used to its full potential.

    [STRIKE]Washed bedding and hung on line, now on airer.

    Today I moved the king-size bed, unaided, and (since the entrance is only about 3 ft 6 high) half-crawled in and out of the eaves loft umpteen times. No wonder my knees ache tonight!

    I managed to empty 5 drawers full of family history photos, papers and other bits and pieces into 3 large storage boxes which are now piled in a corner of my bedroom. There are still another 7 drawers to deal with, but today my aim was to find most of the photos, so that I can gradually sort and label them and put them into proper archive storage folders.

    While i was in the loft, I also refilled the rodent bait dish, as our neighbour has reported mice in her loft :eek: I don't want them nibbling our things!

    I found a large box containing several wedding service booklets, together with loads of cards that we received, which have now been culled to what will fit into one A4 document pocket. The unwanted cards are going to one of the Old Wives who will recycle them to sell in aid of various charities.

    I have had a visual field test at the horse piddle and will be going back next week for a check-up with the consultant ophthalmologist, which will hopefully result in my being discharged. I am grateful that they are being super-vigilant.

    I managed to take Rosie for her walk, cook tea, fill the dishwasher and go to a church council meeting this evening. Oh, and I brought in the recycling bags after the dustmen had done their rounds.

    Decluttering IS happening :) even though it is a long drawn-out process.

    Proud granny moment: DGS4 swam a width unaided for the first time today, and then carried on for several more :T:T:T

    (((Hugs))) sticks and spoons to all in need x

    Ionafan, I expect your knees will ache even more today.

    Morning all.

    I am drowning under piles of paperwork I need to read before a council meeting tonight. Also have paid stuff today and must try to catch up on household admin.

    So flying may just be dog walking and as many dailies as possible.

    Have a great day everyone.

    Good morning all

    Just a quick check in.

    Yesterday was a long drawn out day at work. DH was late home again although he did come home with some shallots for me to plant at the allotment. I am easily pleased. I spent the evening wrestling with some Swedish furniture and resorted to the Tube to figure it out. Once I had it round the right way it went together easily :o!

    Today is more paid stuff and likely to be stressful, more so as half of the day will be unpaid. Yes, I know that it is me who is the idiot for doing it.

    I have a list for later this afternoon. Wm x 1 run, HHI done and LR dusted.

    Well done in finishing the presentation Jazee.
    I hope you get to rest those knees today Ionafan.

    Have a good day all.
