 boultdj I have never heard of the fur and pawprint. It is natural that you miss your little friend ,that's what she was ,your friend.xxx
 3secondmemory I now know what an opium stool is. You have/are doing amazing.xxx
 I am taking my time packing the kitchen. Only one box done yesterday. I am finding it so difficult. I hadn't realised hosting a houseful of people was so important to me. I love all my glassware and crockery. Just the island covered in stuff to make decisions about now. When that is done I will empty another cupboard.
  260. 2 Jaguar tyres and wheels. kerching,sold.
  266. 6 pint pots
  Some more things may go at the weekend. I have listings on FB. I have spent some of the money earned. A Berber rug and pearl earrings for the wedding.

👿 just lost my long post 😡  and breathe & start again but now going to be shorter 👿😤

1. KITCHEN WILL CONTINUE TO BE LEFT CLEAN & TIDY EVERY NIGHT

2. JUST DO ONE THING EVERY DAY (courtesy of bit_by_bit) OTHER THAN DAY TO DAY CLEANING & DECLUTTERING 
3. ONCE A WEEK LEAVE THE HOUSE (e.g. Go into city centre for bank & butcher;  go to local town for cs dropping off or buying; visit the pub with DH 😉

Tuesday - DH strimmed lawn of rented ndn house & trimmed bushes. I introduced window cleaner to neighbour J who had windows cleaned & gutters cleared. First crop of radishes - 2 types, 3 of each. One of each given to J + promised to make him an apple & hg rhubarb crumble. Finished 2 loads of washing, dried in td, folded & put away. I made guacamole. Dinner was scrambled eggs & smoked salmon on toast.

Wednesday still showery. We had a delivery of 800kg of gravel, weed suppressant fabric & a gravel board + sand for the builder. DH & DSis went to the doctor’s surgery. DSis managed to make the final arrangements for home delivery of her prescription meds. DH had his ECG, blood pressure, weight & 4 vials of blood taken. DSis booked a hair appointment for Thursday. DH received a phone call from the doctor at 7:45 p.m. - good news we can stop worrying & I quote “your ECG results are ‘unremarkable’” Fanfare 🥳 To celebrate we had Gourmet burgers & chips delivered 😉

Thursday another wintry day. DH laid a section of weed suppressant fabric & covered with 10 x 10kg buckets of gravel on top. We set off early for dental appointments & arrived with time to nip into pub for a swift half 👏🥳 Had our appointments - i now have a prescription for the next infection at which time the tooth will be pulled. Then we went back to pub & had several lots of drink. Guinness for me as no draft beer & lager for DH. Not quite back to normal as can order the beers from the bar but still have to have them delivered to your table. Plenty of beer, lots of chat & laughter & have finally accomplished no.3 as above 😉 So tipsy that when we got home we ordered Chinese 😉😉
DSis had a successful hair appointment then came home & vacuumed downstairs + started her washing. Td in operation again. Plus window cleaner turned up 👏

Friday is very blowy, dark & rainy. Our builder is nearly finished & will be turning up tomorrow to finish off. DH has laid more weed suppressant fabric & another 10 buckets of gravel. Plus been out to buy 2 replacement trugs (both of ours are broken) & also picked up 5 builders buckets 😱 with the comment you can never have too many buckets 😉😉
DSis is doing more washing.

Hoping to declutter are entire Ash tree. It’s swaying in the wind and as well as threatening to take up my entire patio, it will take down two of the neighbours fences. The landlord will have to call an arborist. It’s been pointed out to him at every inspection I’ve ever heard that it’s out of control.

Glad all is well with Mr SD.  Yes Vulpix the BG saga is still ongoing.  I started off at 9.15.  Website was down.  Left it until 11 and just got cut off an hour later.  They said they would make an appointment for tomorrow, they then said they couldn't make an appointment for technical reasons and I needed to ring another number myself.  I rang myself to be told they couldn't make any appointments as system down and I needed to ring in the morning.  Complaints department will be in touch with me in due course - not holding my breath.  I hold out no hope of getting an appointment for tomorrow but will go and do some shopping now so I can stay in tomorrow.  It has stopped raining for 5 minutes.  At least it has stopped raining although it doesn't look promising.  I'll go for a wander round local small town and go in small Mr T.

Well done boultdj 👏 hope the upset tum is better 🤞Plenty of work done - gloss painting takes time & well done to OH for mowing lawn. How lovely to receive paw print & fur as a memento even though a bit upsetting. You will be able to remember all the good times 🙂

Excellent work moneyonmymindsam 👏 Decluttering, cleaning, sorting clothes & dealing with froggy paperwork - you have been busy 👏 Well done on washing the cashmere jumpers & put them straight in the cs bag 😉

Thanks for the hugs bit_by_bit 👏 Congratulations on completing the moonwalk 🥳 You seem to have had a lovely couple of days - so nice to see family 🙂 One halo 😇 coming to you & DH - must be very difficult trying to persuade a hoarder to let go of things 😱 So very well done & I am awarding your sister a medal 🏅 as I agree with you that she has done very well. Wow, you have been busy & very generous, bit_by_bit 👏 And you still have the good bit to look forward to - a trip to the recycling centre 😉

Now I have no charge on iPad, so I have to stop ☹️

it’s not my mojo, it’s controlled mania! ADHD Brain conflicting with fatigued body. Now the ‘blockage’ has been removed, I can’t control the floodwaters. Boom and bust, rinse, repeat. 

I have massive anxiety even though I know I’m doing a really good job. I’m feeling very pressured as I’m doing this with the help of an ADHD coach. This is very,  expensive and I can only afford her help for three weeks. I can hear the clock ticking! We are working on very specific short term goals, making my home practical, safe and comfortable to live in. 

I’m not even a hoarder or a bad housekeeper. I just don’t have great executive function and I can’t plan very well. These are skills you learn as a child and develop in life. Fatigue, pain and memory problems just make it so much easier to switch off and not care that stuff to be dealt with is mounting up in every aspect of your life. 

Not all women can multitask! 😂😂😂 I have other skills. Apparently 😂😂😂

Ditto, ditto ditto !

Except I am an awful hoarder.....

Back again 🙂 DH has gone shopping 🙂

Thank you so much retiredinfrance 👏 The heart check went well, now we just have to await the blood test results 🤞 Great decluttering retiredinfrance 👏 the bad weather is good for something 😉😉 I quite agree - Bon Courage is definitely more appropriate than Keep Smiling 👏

Back to no charge - again ☹️
