  • Morning, Kicked the morning off with a £5 M&S voucher from m1cros0ft rewards, surveys are slow at the moment which is to be expected.

    Plans today are for a dog walk, quick tidy round then off to visit relatives. LFT has been done and is negative. Then home and have tea and  some point this evening some of DH family is calling in on there way back home from the Lake district.

    Annoyed with DD as i decided to go to bed at 10 last night as i was shattered DD was staying up and said she would sort out puppy and put her in her crate, I had left my fitbit charging next to my laptop and have got up to find my fitbit and charger in one of the puppy beds (we have several dotted around the house) thankfully fitbit is ok but the charger has been chewed up. So will need to buy a new one which i think DD should pay for as she obviously wasn't supervising pupster.

    Also can't find my house keys, have a feeling DH has had them, luckily DD had left hers in the kitchen last night so can get out, i've text him at work but had no reply yet, this is one thing that drives me mad about DH his inability to put anything away or where it belongs. 

    Oh sorry what a moaning murtle i've been this morning, off to walk dogs hopefully some fresh air and headspace will sort me out.

    Morning, just having a quick tea and toast break.

    Yesterday was busy with visitors and visiting people, quiet pottering at home day today. Yesterday i decluttered a few more bits
    Dog treats a kind person bought for my doggies unfortunately they contain rawhide, so have gone in the bin.
    2 pairs of too small trousers
    dress which had gained a hole.
    pair of worn sandals
    christmas cards

    So far today i have walked the dogs, sorted chickens, filled log baskets, need to light stove as its freezing here, i nearly slipped on my bum when walking the dogs. All christmas decs have been taken down boxed up and put away, just need to get DH to take the tree outside and saw up, it weighs a ton and i can't move it. Hoovered living room as there was pine needles everywhere from the mantlepiece garland, but will probably need to hoover again when DH take tree out.

    Nothing exciting on the money front, some DD have gone out so i tidied account up and moved £1.54 to savings.

    Burgers for tea, local butcher threw them in for free with our christmas meat order, so will try those wth some wedges and salad.


  • work bag and clothes sorted and soup taken from freezer for tomorrow's lunch.

    Sorted out 2 weeks of royal mail survey stuff, this is going to be my last run at doing this as i'm sick of it, posting the letters is ok as i walk past a post box when i walk the dogs, but the parcels are a faff and its a 12 mile round trip to the post office for me, which is fine when i'm at work but when i'm off its a pain,tipping point was them expecting a parcel to be posted Christmas eve.

    Few more bits decluttered
    underwear
    old christmas decs
    plastic tubs
    cardboard boxes
    glass storage jar.

    Amazing how even a few bits of decluttering adds up to a lot, well done with the progress.

    Hope you've managed to find your keys by now!

    Good vibes for return to work, I think there was only me and one other person who did anything today.

    Great work with the decluttering, each bit you are doing is making a huge dent in it. Ha not putting things where they belong must be a man thing (guilty of this too) I once found my car keys in the fridge....I dunno is the answer to the question why they ended up there
