spice shelf picked through. OOD flung - herbs to compost bin, spices to green bin. Bottles to be washed and recycled.
Need to update list. Intend to include use by dates now (I keep the printed list on the inside of the cupboard door for rapid reference).Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016

Dizzy - join me over on the Frugal living challenge thread. I am sick of waiting for each payday just so I can pay a bit more debt off. I am so naturally frugal anyway, if I apply myself more it will be gone very soon. As my grandma used to say 'when you borrow money you are just stealing from your future self', so true x9

If Owl and Tigger had a baby and fed it stimulants... that baby is me!!!
I have parcelled 1 ebeast parcel, kicked up a merry storm about the injustice of the world and the state of my house.
I paid a bill last night.. just the one! The rest can wait until Friday.
We had a family gathering yesterday.. no masks involved just cake, alcohol and pizza..
I have a kitchen to rebuild and about 2 billion sandwich plates to find from around the house.
Final music lesson had until September and we are supposed to pick up Twinkles nursery folder tomorrow but OH is at work and I can't walk that far and I don't want to.. we need to go get cat food today so I might ring and see if we can grab hers today instead.

Spice jars washed. More has been thrown than I now have. Spice/herb list updated as promised and now includes use by dates. DD needs parsley for tea. Fortunately I chop and freeze surplus fresh herbs and one of them is parsley. Oven doors cleaned and hob cleaned including Brill0 pad on stands/racks on hob... not sure what they are called, also cleaned gas jet things. Non jam jars ie DE jars I use in larder which are empty now on top shelf in spice cupboard.
@Round (because you mentioned using DE jars)
This is my larder. One can/jar deep. It takes no time to check if I have/haven't got something.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered for booty duty today
xx I had the most stress-free day that I've had for weeks - the amazing power of flylady strikes again. If I hadn't experienced it myself I'd not believe in the strength of this phenomenon. Thank you xx
I caught up with the thread in my lunch break and laughed out loud at the thought of Dizzy snorting tea. Don't encourage me Dizzy!!!
I used to think of myself as a composite of Eeyore and Tigger with my ups and my downs, but (touch wood) I think I have morphed into Rabbit. Not sure when, and not sure that's who I want to be - but if I've morphed once I can maybe morph again - I'm a wanna-be Owl.
Busy day at the paid stuff, so all I've done since arriving home is get changed, have a coffee, read and recycle a couple of magazines and cook my tea. And watch Hawaii 5-0. My guilty pleasure.
Thank you for being my friends

Oh you lot are sooo funny, DH is watching football and I am trying not to laugh out loud. Round that would be more than fair treatment for her. She responded to my email with a "oh but I was only trying to help, I am so sorry if it came across as if I was undermining you, I didnt mean to upset you, blah blah blah". If you believe that you might as well believe that Coronavirus was brought here by aliens.
Valli can I come and live in your larder, that is just beautiful.
And Round, Dizzy and ASB I am debt busting too, although I have bought some carefully chosen new clothes funded by the sale of my old bike. I will not be buying anything else new this year and definitely not putting anything on the cards or Next account. Its quite liberating. On that note I have just sewn up the hem on a pair of trousers, I am getting back into wearing some of my work stuff, it makes me feel better to be dressed a bit smarter even if I am at home. Quite a few things to sell on ebay too.
Not much flying done, DS at hospital tomorrow to see the consultant so a day off, but I need to study.9 -
The lunchtime update never happened. It went something like:
downstairs cleaned through, including the DR as DH has been out all day. Also kitchen cleaned more thait has bee; of late. Baking cupboard turned out and sorted. Valli has given me serious pantry envy, have settled for one tidyish cupboard
oven cleaned - result!
kitchen floor and downstairs toilet floor mopped - another resultBathroom etc s&s. Mirrors and other shiny bits made shiny. 2 loads of towels washed and dried outside.
Disgusting pigeon poo washed from the DR window. Outside, I hasten to add.1st batch of leeks planted at the allotment
Spinach picked and turned into pastie things, and non meat meatball things. Nut3lla muffins made to compensate for all the healthiness.
Glad my booty was of service, Round. Happy to lug it back into action whenever needed x8
