I need to dig out my Toots list and get busy when they've gone.

I have 186 selection boxes in my car...after a kerfuffle at the supermarket where they claimed there might be a limit. There wasn't. I'm pleased about that - I really did not want to make multiple trips.

Morning xx
I'm up. I've made my bed, opened my bedroom curtains - small window is permanently open until it gets really really cold, brought down the bath mats and set them swishing, said hello to Sweetie and Alexa, and I'm drinking my first brew.

Round 1 completed + WM load 2 is swishing and vases are soaking in a water and white vinegar solution (I washed them but there were one or two smears so I decided to do the job properly before I put the vases away)
There is not a skerrick of unwashed laundry nor an unwashed pot in this house....and it's not 10 o'clock yet. It won't last - DS and GF will be back this evening and stay until they move out properly on Friday. 5 sleeps, 5 breakfasts, 5 lunches and 4 teas .. not that I'm counting or anything!
Coffee now - anyone care to join me?

Oooh Round I am just putting the kettle on, will raise my mug to you. Dont feel lonely, just shout and we will send you love, hugs, waffle and general randomness to keep you company.
Lie in until 8am, have watched Strictly, DS has just come downstairs looking for food. DW needs emptying. Thick fog here, I need to get outside today for a bit but no idea what the plan is.
DH is asleep, I seriously think he would sleep for 15 hours a day if he could. Right, lets have that coffee x

Morning all
Nice relaxed morning here, dailies are done and laundry shuffled, today’s load is swishing now, DH has been busy prepping veg for me so pork ragu in the sc for supper, double batch again so a meal for another night will be going in the freezer. More soup simmering on the hob, I am going to have to play freezer tetris later to fit all this stuff in!
I've done the exercises for my hip, once the soup is done will head out for a walk too, then I think this afternoon will be more reading and knitting.
take care all xx6 -
MorningNot sure how it is nearly 11.30am, done not a lot so farWM is on x 2It is grey and overcastNot impressed with eby, it is moving private sellers on to bank account payments, not paypal, and this now includes and 'cash on collection' type sales as you could avoid paypal fees, but not any more, so a cash on collection sale is actually going to cost about 12.5% of a sale price approx. overall not a lot but it all mounts up. I guess I'll be listing more on fb then.Then if you don't use your paypal account for over a year paypal is going to charge £12 dormant account fee.I've just closed down one paypal account I've not used for years.Breast Cancer Now 100 miles October 2022 100 / 100miles
