Hospital are keeping Boog another night. All is fine and back eating and stopped spewing and bloods readings are all back to normal but they want another night for observation just to make sure things stay ok. Would be daft to discharge and then have things go awry and have to go back in.. so they can stay there. Saves me having to worry and check on them every 5 minutes.. I have a very poorly DS2 to keep an eye on.. honestly, it is like a competition now!! Who can be ill-est.  Everyone else is absolutely fine.. not a symptom in sight.. I thihnk DS2 actually needs food if I'm honest. Pasta and Meatballs for dinner, he likes those.

I've thrown a morrisons order through Amazon which is being delivered imminently which will cover us a few days.. had to spend my ebeast eanings but hey-ho..

ah here now...

I don't even follow my own list! There's no hope for me. I did the todailies then got sidetracked by a box of stuff from under the kitchen table. 

Bag (from stash) started for DS: current contents = small England flag and 4 t shirts which look like holiday party remnants/ souvenirs ....he can decide if he wants to keep or bin. 
Instruction books for items no longer owned recycled.
Broken ear bud thingies binned.
Note book and unused gift label added to stash.
Receipt dated August 1992 to be shredded.
Oh, and I found photos of DS and me when we acted in a Plough Jag. 14 years ago?

YL I'm inclined to agree with Piggers tbh.,,having done the prep for a colonoscopy myself recently...
I have agreed to work f/t the last two weeks of term.  So I might be asking for a favour, Natty...

wm x 1.  It's been a long day.  Oranges bought...not that Mr t had any and I only went there's because it's sort of on my route home...  it's too big a shop for a 'nip' IYSWIM humph.,, has to go to marries which is nearer home but in between home and work...anyway prepped for marmalade.  I love 💕 marmalade.  Never made any last year though...

Just seen this Valli..just say when and I'll step up to the plate 😊

ASB - why not just CS all the stuff?  Rather than giving it back to be hoarded?

Went to work this morning; ended up doing all day.

ASB. I accept bags of stuff from many people. and drop it right at the CS without even looking at it. They think they are helping and I am flinging. It was hard at first but it is not any more. I just wish I could fling my own stuff so readily.

OH loaded the DW
I burnt the dinner, threw a wobbler and refused to eat anything.. now I am really hungry and too stubborn to give in and find food.. sometimes I am my own worst enemy!

Morning all

Thank you Valli and Piggers, you’re quite right. Fresh perspective needed xx

Woke at 4.30 and couldn’t get back to sleep so here I am. Written a list of admin jobs to do this morning, there is also laundry and I want to bake another cake for the weekend. 

Love to all xx

Morning

I was reading something yesterday about how the pandemic is affecting a lot of us emotionally, even if we are not aware of it, and that's why so many people are struggling to get back into their normal routine after Christmas.  Well that's certainly me!  Think I have about 5 hours to do at the paid stuff to get my hours in then I am done for the weekend.

House is reasonably tidy, I have lost the thread of what I am supposed to have got done this week, will catch up with a bit of flying later.

Morning Yoga done, off for a shower next.  Small steps today.

Have a good Friday all x

Morning everyone.  

ASB, I know where you're coming from, my stepmother was always bringing us stuff she didn't want anymore.  I admit some of it is lovely and I'm pleased to have as it's very good quality and I like it but some of it I don't need.  Going to task DD1 with selling a few bits of Villeroy & Boch china she's given us that I don't use, like or need, but I've seen how much they sell for in the shops!  Not had anything for a while but then we've only had one brief visit and Ssis & Sbro & kids came too so full chaotic car.  

Bed made, clothes picked up, rooms aired
Cat pee cleaned up (at least 3 puddles this morning, not happy!)
OH working from home 
DW unloaded & kitchen tidy
Banking & spreadsheets checked

Kitchen and dining room very very nearly completely sorted.  A corner of wires and wifi box to find a solution for in the DR and spices (but space found for them) in the kitchen.  Have also been pottering in library part of living room, still a long way to go.  

Errands today and trip to hairdressers for a quick trim.

Hugs, sticks & spoons

Morning xx 

I'm trying to think of a way to keep this feeling of wellbeing when I return to the paid stuff. 

I'm up, made my bed,  eaten breakfast,  decluttered a magazine and I'm savouring brew 2. 

I usually recycle packaging as soon as I open a parcel, but I'm going to keep the box containing the foot measure and put all random cables, connectors etc in there. These will, like the odd sock bag, be sorted at the end of the decluttering journey- anything that hasn't found its mate / purpose will then be disposed of. And in the meantime I'll know where to look for missing components. 

To Do Today List 

Get dressed
Feed the birds 
Put out the recycling 
WUDUPA 

Write a list of frogs 🐸 
Put away last few Christmas presents 

Continue emptying the box of stuff from under the kitchen table - I see more odd socks.....and pencils!!!! DS bought sooo many pencils when he was at Uni. 

Deliver birthday card to friend G.

Love to all
