Hi all, I have crossed 1 frog off my list and 2 loads of washing today, line dried. Got my b12 jab tomorrow so I am hoping for a bit more energy next week, combined with the after effects of the cold I have slept for England this week. Found out today both my cousin and I have qualified for fa cup final tickets so we are planning a repeat trip south in a couple of weeks, very happy about this, more money will be decluttered but as I haven't had a holiday in 4 years and I can't see one on the horizon this year either I am not stressing about it. You have to take the opportunities that come your way, they may not come again at our age
Falling asleep again so off to bed,
Take care everyone12 -

A double win @weenancyinAmerica
Glad there are no breaks @TC77 I hope your time in the TLC wagon is helping.
I have had a great few days. More work on the allotment, much of it is tidy now. Another few days will get me to totally tidy with one big project to do but it can wait. Very pleased after getting nowhere for ages.
More work in the home garden including weeding and prepping a raised bed spuds and destroying the compost heap. Also done work on the wild front -ierEssentially a wild garden with lots of dandilions and bluebells. Each month a different shrub blossoms and is colourful so very pleased. I don't dig it except for when I am adding something in or digging something up for someone.
I have got rid of 4 in and out bags this week and 6 of my own. 3 were coats and the refugee place was really grateful. Signed up for giftaid at a CS I use a lot now I ahve started paying tax again.
Working at the CS this afternoon so back to the allotment tomorrow with DH again who wants to do some muscle work for me.
Havea good weekend everyone.Big hugs to those in need.

Tackled and decluttered some house jobs today
1) sanded and repainted the front doorstep and repainted the back doorstep
2) stripped and sanded the top step on the stairs (the stairs are eventually getting re-carpeted). Ancient heated up gloss paint smells ‘delightful’ even when well ventilated.3) re-oiled the hall floorboards
4) polished the ‘new to us’ mirror
5) reviewed and updated the cork board of house jobs.6) put the new doormats down as they serendipitously arrived today after the doorsteps were painted.✒️ Declutter 2025 🏅👗 Fashion on the Ration 2025 61/66 coupons (5 coupons silver boots)✒️Declutter 2024 🏅🏅🏅(DSis 🏅🏅)
