Happy anniversary Jazee for yesterday. Hope you had a lovely day 😘
Morning, was up and about at 5am..these early mornings are becoming a bit of a regular thing now. I was even in bed by 10.30 last night and fast asleep at 11pm, I didn't even hear Dave come upstairs.Had my first proper SW class yesterday and it was lovely to see a friend there too. I didn't feel too bad then ...🙂 I also had a loss of a lb too which I was happy about - I'm slowly losing a pound a week which is fantastic.Have my 2nd jab this afternoon so I've given Dave instructions, just incase I feel carpe, regarding cooking the tea tonight and left the cookery book out as well.So I'll get showered, and dressed, and do a couple of things needed in the house before leaving for my jab.Hugs everyone 🤗Mortgage Free as of 20.9.17Declutter challenge 2023, 2024 🏅 🏅⭐️⭐️

Much flingage happened at DG house yesterday, I oversaw 3 large cars full of bags to charity shops and brought another car full here as I had a c-bag collection here this morning. I have stamped on the cardboard boxes in her garden and they will go to the tip on Friday along with the headboard from the bed I was born on and my childhood headboard. DH and I plan to finish her loft on Friday afternoon then all there will be on view and in groups of items so easy to sort through. That’s is apart from the garage of doom. I need to replace the batteries in the automatic door handsets as last time I we opened it DH had to close it from inside and climb over everything to get out the back door.
I’m shuffling paperwork this morning waiting for BG man to do a service. All towels from here and DG’s washed
to do

Half the GA claim is done (the hardest bit).
I found a nice recipe in the SW magazine that DH brought for me yesterday, and I knew I had got some green lentils somewhere, but do you think I could spot them? I ended up sorting two shelves in my larder cupboard (open packets), the other spices/stock cubes shelf that I didn't do a few days ago (open packets), the two shelves above the spices (new jars) and two other wall cupboards. Apologies to DKW and HB, but I had to empty the spices shelf completely in order to clean up all the spilt bits. And then a (new) packet of couscous fell apart, so I ended up moving the microwave and cleaning underneath it!!! All is now consolidated, sorted and tidyI haven't thrown out anything that is past its best before date, though... And yes, I did find the packet of lentils

Iona.. I have to get it al out too.. Ilike to wipe the tins etc before putting them back.
I haven't moved.. but I have sorted the post (I put it all in the bin!) and slurped 2 cups of tea.. and run all my WoW characters through the weekly boss.. bar one which I am saving to do with Squeak later.
My throat is really sore and my lymphs are very swollen in my head and neck.. are we guessing ANOTHER cold? Or is it something more fun I am battling?? Either way I would probably be dead before Dr's had an available appointment so it's pointless even trying.. I've still not managed the anaemia/thyroid blood tests (Due last December), the Audiology referral (From last November) or the follow up on the physio (Due January!) before we even get to the asthma, occipital neuralgia or anything else that might be ailing me.. Good job I've not got anything serious isn't it?
Washing needs hanging out.. I will do one more boss fight and get that out for OH to hang up.. and go throw myself in the shower, I may feel more like doing things if I don't smell like a hibernating bear!

BG gas engineer been and gone and surprisingly said I don’t need new boiler. I wondered why then I check his paperwork and he wasn’t BG but independent. He couldn’t clean the filter thing in the airing cupboard as the spanner had disappeared
I’m off to clean the floor of the AC as it was an embarrassment.
Heavens open so towels are tumbling.10 -
the heavens opened.. so the washing can stay out until tomorrow... lol
Went to tip thinking it was Tuesday.. it is Wednesday... the tip isn't open on a Wednesday... ooopppsss... Then OH turned up the wrong road so we didn't go to L!dl like we were supposed to. AND.... to top life off today.. Moomin has an extra 25% time for exams due to the dyslexia while she was finishing off some nasty little cretin has stolen her favourite pink fluffy jacket so she had to walk home in the pouring rain and is soaked to the skin.. I can't afford to replace it, college have the phones turned off .. at 3:30!!! so I have sent a few choice emails... including one to the principal... I have rage!

Thank you for your support ladies ❤. It makes so much difference, you can't imagine.
I'm a sort it out straight away gal. But I couldn't last night as it was outside office hours. I waited until 9.30 because I hate it when my phone at work rings at 9.01. I spoke to the young man who helped me last week but he didn't have the information I needed so he got someone to ring me back. Sorted. I am having a local anaesthetic- which I am more than ok with (couldn't understand why it was going to be a general anaesthetic in the first place) and transport is being arranged for me- just ignore that part of the letter!!!!
But before that I got pulled over by the police on my way to work 😱. They were asking if I saw anything of the armed robbery which happened same time last week. But I didn't know that when he waved me to the side.
Anyhoo- I've put the bin out ready to be emptied tomorrow. DS's dad is coming over to put out the recycling box filled with magazines as it's heavy and my eye doesn't like heavy. I've put some clean washing away. And the post went from the doormat straight into the recycling bin because it was all junk.
I'm putting some savoury snacks out in the WAC lounge - but hoping no one goes in there tonight.
Love to all

Hi ladies
It’s a quick visit from me - this week is just bonkers with our Year 11 assessments and upper sixth assessments.
I have managed to successfully beat the BD away these past few days, I think being so busy at work means it’s easier to ignore him. I haven’t had chance to read the thread but wanted to say hello and send love to all xx

Hi all
Good to hear from you ASB x
Round anyone would find all this anxiety inducing, as Fayolle says you have got this, and we are right behind you x
One of those days when nothing seemed to go right, nothing major, just annoying stuff. Went for a little jog/walk first thing, will do some yoga in a minute. Have run the hoover around, tidied kitchen, hung the sheets out first thing and finished them in the tumbler.
I was so looking forward to going away this weekend but the weather forecast is dreadful, really hope it improves!
