You are doing really well with all these sales. Also good news you’ll have a mobility scooter as your disposal to get you around. I’ve never heard of ordnance but glad you got it sorted. 

Ordnance is just a name for military supplies. I wasn't sure how to describe them as too big for bullets and too small for mortars. Sorry if you were confused.

You're making great progress.  Good to get the ordnance off your hands!

Evening all.

Parcels posted this morning and prescription collected. Missed the bus home so treated myself to a taxi as my legs are not good today. Mr LH has struggled all day to put the scooter back together and cleaning it to find the bearings in tn one of the wheels are shot. It wont come out so we will have to try to get a whole new wheel. As its quite old I dont know if its possible. Not sure when or even if I will ever be able to use it. A bit disappointing as it would make life easier.

I have managed to find homes for some more stuff we have brought home so we have about half a conservatory - the scooter is in there at the moment.

We made a trip to the tip today to get rid of two non working printers and some other stuff.

I had a form to print out from the solicitor which printed beautifully and quickly from the new printer. What a relief. Strange we didnt need a new one until Mr LH couldnt print something he wanted despite me struggling since April.

Very annoyed with myself as I dropped a glass this evening. Why does glass go so far when it breaks. I just hope I found it all.

Another 4 items listed tonight and one item sold. 

Off now to relax a little before watching sewing bee. Have a good evening.

Glass is horrid when it breaks.

Happy new printer.  It's a shame you had to wait so long.  I agree about glass getting everywhere.

Don't know if this will be any help but to check for and pick up any missed bits, you could cut a potato in half and carefully dab the area where glass shattered--bearing in mind how far broken glass travels. You can also use slices of bread or dampened kitchen roll. If you used a brush, make sure you swill it out so any trapped glass doesn't drop back on floor when you use it again.

Thank you. I have never heard of using a potato to find bits of glass. I have washed out the brush but I mainly used an old dishcloth and threw it away afterwards.

Evening all.

I am suffering from shock this afternoon as the house clearance men rang me and they want £2500 to clear my bils house. I know its a big house and there is a lot in there but that seems a lot. As there is no particular rush I will investigate other people and make an appointment for them to come and look and give me an estimate. It means at least two more trips down there but it has to be done. As Bear was so stressed when we were there earlier this week I dont want him to have to go again so I will ask my sil as there is still still some stuff to come back including Bear food bowl which I forgot. I have several others and I dont think he cares as long as he is fed.

A bit more listing done and some weeding. I have moved some boxes around in the bedroom which gave me a bit more room so I can make the bed properly and change the sheets. Yes I am that awful person who hasnt changed the sheets for three weeks. This was simply becuse firstly I couldnt get to the bed properly and secondly I have simply been too tired to do it.

Mr LH has found a scooter wheel on line which has been ordered so hopefully I will be mobile soon. I will be able to go with  mr LH and do Bears full walk. I wont be able to walk him myself to start with as he will probably end up under the wheels but hopefully he will gradually learn. I do his morning and evening walks which are shorter on my own so I will still get some exercise.

A couple of packages to post and we need milk, potatoes and dog food tomorrow. It will be a heavy load so I wish the scooter was usable but it is what it is. The bus it will be. Fortunately we dont live far from the bus stop.

A friend is on his way so I will finish there. Have a good eevning.

Blimey, that seems steep.

I have been in touch with another company and will see what they say. I know that commercial waste disposal is pricey and that it is a big house but it does seem rather a lot. I am giving it a couple of weeks though as I have been sown 3 times in 2 and a half weeks and need a break.
