Sunday is a dull, dreary & overcast day & keeps promising to rain - the garden needs it - but so far only a few spots. DH watched the MotoGP races & also went to sm by bus - for bread & some E45 cream - his arm is really itching 😬 DSis spent most of the day watching TV in her room. I had a flurry of activity - vacuumed the whole of downstairs but ashamed to say that I had to empty the vacuum 4 times 😟😔; cleaned the toilet & sink in the cloakroom; extra cooked pork steaks & salmon +  lo potatoes - bagged & labelled & put in garage freezer; made guacamole (using avocados from veg box. Dinner was hm chicken & mushroom risotto 🤤 with plenty lo for risotto cakes which will be accompanied by lettuce from the veg box. Wudupa.

Pleased to hear that you are feeling better Baxtersmum 🙂 Absolutely excellent work - completely dismantling your shed 👏 counts as a frog dealt with 😉  Is the wood useful for anything or will it all be going to the Tip? 

Shame about the car boot Fizz2015 ☹️ but looking on the bright side at least your garden got watered 😉 Hope you have better luck tomorrow 🍀 Absolutely counts if you are doing the work of decluttering other people’s clutter 😉 

Good work SanguineGina 👏

Problem is I am taking too many rest days bit_by_bit 😉 I think DH is getting a bit annoyed now by how long the itching & pain is taking to go away 😔 Well done on taking a rest day & pleased to hear that your DH is DH is helping out - was it warm enough for shorts & topless - DH only 😂 Hope you are proud of yourself for getting the allotment sorted 🙂 keeps the committee off your case 😉

Nice to see you Deni_debt-free_dreamer, sorry to hear that RL has been interfering with your decluttering 😉 Well done on continuing to delete emails & great work with the drawer 👏

Absolutely excellent news QueenJess 🥳 it is always good when you are struggling to find things to declutter 🙂 Great decluttering 👏

Fingers crossed that covid is being banished to whence it came, basketcase 🤞 Do take time to recover completely  before diving into decluttering 🙏 Now that you are out of isolation I hope to see you in the TLC Carriage - let me know if you want a cuppa or something stronger 😉 Well done on decluttering the verandah 👏

Excellent decluttering GrannyKate 👏 Blow the Friday frogs 😉 You know me so well 😉 I only just found out that the saying “Curiosity killed the cat” has a 2nd part (heard it on TV 🙂) “Satisfaction brought it back” which makes me feel a lot better about being nosy 😉😉 Lovely counties - Sussex & Berkshire 🙂 Whilst I remember I hope you have a great time at the conference & an enjoyable time visiting family 🙂

Helloooo from the other side . . . 

Life AFTER decluttering my home 😂😂 Making a start on decluttering local Government 😃 

Please, please vote in your upcoming local elections! It’s never been more important to have a say in what goes on in our local constituencies and to oversee how our money is being spent! 

This has been a non-party-specific political broadcast by Figaro the rabbit, on behalf of all tax payers! 

😂😂😂 Have a good week

DS & I had a lovely day walking up in Town on Saturday - Chelsea & Battersea this time - haven't been up to Chelsea for years... . Yesterday we stayed closer to home - just Church in the morning in Blackheath and Greenwich park with my friend and her dogs afterwards.  it's started to become a rather lovely routine - I am very dog-broody at the moment but have an elderly cat who would not feel the same - so this is a nice way of getting doggie time.    I made a decision not to try to go on holiday abroad at the end of the month - too many niggles that made me realise its not the right time to go - felt better once I'd made the decision.  I think I'll still take some time off work that week and maybe go away for a few days in the UK.  Lovely to think that all I have to do today is some pottering ! 

775.  Reviewed my cousin's CV for her
776.  Sorted cat-sitting for my weekend away
777.  Emailed company re: holiday reservation.  

Mrs SD - I am going to Liverpool at the weekend.  I used to go there a lot as I was in a long-distance relationship with someone up there and I miss it.  It will be nice to go there with DS - we've rented a studio - its very central.  I'm still on good terms with my ex so we will meet up with him while we're up there.

Sorry to hear that Mr SD is still suffering - sending get well wishes.

Not much decluttering going on for me, I'm visiting my son & daughter-in-law in Stratford.
Saturday we went to the Museum of The Home, then wandered thru Spitalfields before ending up in Leytonstone for Turkish lunch with family in their garden. 
Yesterday the weather wasn't so good so we went over to Greenwich to watch the Jack 'o' the Green parade from Deptford, then went back over the river for Thai lunch, had a mooch around the sculptures at Cabot Square and then back to Stratford.
Today has been a quick trip to Westfield & lunch before a BBQ later at a friend's house and tomorrow it is the Royal photos exhibition at KP before my train home. For a rest!

Hi, all: ground to a halt after return from Germany last week. Tonight is the end of a 5 day shift pattern with no 2 days the same.
My birthday trip to Berlin was great, shelled out on hotel breakfast as there was enough there I could eat and they baked me gluten free rolls every morning. Lots of masking everywhere so Hurrah! for that. 

Anyway, need to get fed and ready for work so...

I'm still under a post covid cloud, determined not to say it's long covid, now 6 weeks in so sure to lift soon. Just very frustrating getting nothing done as I crash around 5 pm. Decluttering completely stalled but that's going to change tomorrow as the last 6 weeks have set me back. Today I'm just looking after my houseplants now I've finally got some plant food.

Decluttering still ongoing here as I'm determined to spend time on the stuff that matters and not tidying/cleaning or otherwise wasting time on "the stuff".  The physical stuff is few and far between now, so been blitzing a bit of the digital stuff. 

The plan for this week is to try and get more emails down, sort through more password stuff and make sure all my finance files are backed up.  I only do this in the evening when the kids are in bed or in small breaks whilst working, so it will be bitty and may take me some time to complete.

I would like to say that after my very productive Saturday I continued through Sunday and bonus Sunday (aka BH Monday) but…….. however whilst no where near as productive I did:

1) tackle the ironing mountain (one day the other jobs will stop getting in the way and it will return to speed bump size)

2) binge watch Bridgerton season 2 (partly while ironing)

3) spend the C0sta voucher on coffee and cake today

4) build the diorama book nook kit for my York Ghost to live in (because obviously it needs a ‘home’ 😉).
