    I had one of those singers but learnt sometimes decluttering gives us so much more space and makes it easier to clean. We are still commuting and shopping is split between online and local shops as we are shopping for family members. Its just my old shopping habit rearing its ugly head 😈

    Hi there!  Just caught up with you as I've been a naughty neglector of diaries lately as well!😁
    Sometimes I think this virus and related lockdown has been deliberately invented to make us all finally look at ourselves and our ways of life. Pollution levels are at their lowest for decades - I saw a photo of a city near the Himalayas a couple of weeks ago - before the lockdowns you couldn't see the mountains at all because of the horrid pollution but there they were sparkling in the distance with a beautiful blue sky.   You've had another wake up call on your spending habits so that's a real positive to take on board. 👍

    Hello @Seasidegal58
    Glad to see you back! I think the maim trouble is no ones doing anything so nothing to note down lol.
    Yes wake up call on spending was very much needed.
    We are flogging our conservatory table and chairs as we never sit in there. Its already used for Mr M_F to paint and draw in but I will be setting up a small corner as a sewing station.

    That's a good idea about utilising the conservatory - you've turned into a very useful crafts space for you both. 😀
