Emptied my locker at work today ( first time in about 10 years) literally nothing of any use- odd socks, old tights, scrunched up make up bag, travel size toiletries either evaporated or just empty, pair of gloves that don’t look like they will fit me, can’t believe I’d just left it all there!
@Mrs_Salad_Dodger I hope your back improves. X10 -
Evening all,
Work has become difficult due to multiple managers with conflicting stylesso I'm torn, combine that with technical issues (no one's fault and as we are all working from home etc)
I have been hanging on in there, spent the evening fixing my tech issues so hope that tomorrow is a better day-lucky I have the skills to sort my own tech issues.
Early days yet and just need to get to a place where I am left alone to some degree so I can find my feet. I've never been someone that functions well with people breathing down my neck 😂 but will keep going in the hope that things get better.
Had a microwave meal for tea just to fill a hole.
Tided my desk and decluttered all my scrappy work notes of things I wrote down (in a frenzy) that looking back on I really don't need.
Hope you are well and tomorrow's Friday 😁
Got a really busy Saturday but Sunday I shall earmark for decluttering the drawer.

TC77 said:@vulpix congratulations on the house and downsizing! @bit_by_bit how fab to notice easier to look after the house. Although over the past 18 months I have got rid of a lot as I hate putting things in the bin has been slow and work very busy but trying to go through small things too.
Doing well @3secondmemory. You are brave going to eat out esp on your own. Special sympathy for you re sleep deprivation. I have been sleep deprived most of my working life. Re pain. If you don't do this already it may be worth taking something before your day starts and before bed. This is the way I get going and get things done. Its a balance with painkillers as I wouldn't want to take them all the time but if i don't very little gets done.
Also, don't try to remember, make a list 😂
I hope your back is improving @Mrs_Salad_Dodger . I believe you actually deserve two awards. . The first, a 🏅 awarded for unstinting support in your kind gentle way and the second, a ⭐️ for turning in even though you hurt your back. 👍
I have been getting rid of lots of stuff today. The last two bags of confidential shredding from my sister's estate have gone, a bag of food to a friend including eggs and fish from DS3. DS3 turned up with 150 just in date eggs on Monday and they have been shared between family, neigbours and friends.
A further two bags of china to the CS.
I am away tomorrow to Manchester and to visit a new friend (you know who you are 😊) on teh way back.
