547 Another note pad from the pile of doom finished up. These are old note pads from MIL's stuff - the sort of freebies drug companies used to give away - will have been FILs and he has been dead 35 years!
548 Papers and tat from desk to recycling
549 A few random weeds collected up and binned but too cold to be outside
550 Used stamps sent to local charity
551 Cards for posting this morning
DS's car written off by idiots who hit side and ran away. No major injuries but she is uncomfortable and shocked. Expensive as well as they urgently need to buy a new car. Police are less than active on this even though they have been given name and there is CCTV.

Oh dear Grannykate.xxx
I read but have nothing interesting to contribute so haven't posted for a bit.
My house is clean (ish) and tidy but I would ideally like it to be clinically clean so I will force myself to wash down the white kitchen cupboards and door frames today as a contribution. Cleaner is working out well, if only for the hoovering of the stairs!
I am being a little easier on myself about my drive to get rid of excess stuff. I have realised that it could be a couple of years until we move. I was driven by the anxiety of moving across the country and starting a stressful business as soon as we landed. It didn't happen .It has taken me a long time to calm down and realise I don't have to organise everything to within an inch of it's life. We have already got rid of so much.
A little side table in, a freebie. I will paint it with paint I already have and put some wallpaper sample on the top then varnish it. It will be sold on. Furniture restoration/ upcycle is one of my hobbies.
I have completed the garden tidy. Including rejigging plants from one pot to another. Some of my pots were so old that the frost had got them. I just need to sit back and watch everything grow now. I don't dig or water the garden. Just pull up a rare weed and cut stuff back when it gets out of hand. If you don't dig, the soil forms a crust to keep moisture in and it is difficult for weeds to germinate.
I have a little sentry box with my gardening gear in. It needs reroofing so that is on my list. I will at some point give the two garden tables and chairs a bit of a sand and oil.
Also on the list is sand the kitchen worktop and re varnish.
I have declared my jobs now so I will have to do them. Hopefully before I go back to my little job in May.
We are a tourist attraction so we will be very busy when we reopen. Oh Mr V is being filmed on Monday and Tuesday at work for the Discovery channel. My work also features on 4 in a bed on 12th April I think.
120. 2 pairs of socks Mr V doesn't like.

PS Mrs SD,I have to reward myself to do some jobs. I do something I don't want to do before something I like. Even sometimes part of a task a day until it's done. Vx:11
