Planned to do Park Run this morning, however I cannot face another soaking, dog has been walked, we only did 20 minutes and we had both had enough.

I do need to go and get eggs, g=farmer message yesterday, he has two boxes for us, that's breakfast sorted. Also need to do a small shop, fruit, veg and some cleaning bits.

There are a few job that I want to get done around the house and garden, weather permitting.

Front Room
Paint.
Move bookcases into alcoves beside the chimney breast.
Declutter bookcases - by 50%.
Wash curtains.
Clean blinds.
Clean window.
Deep clean room.

Kitchen
Clean - cooker, cooker hood and ovens.
Clean all kitchen cupboards - declutter.
Deep clean.

Garden
Jet wash patio slabs and side path.
Repot two plants that have outgrown their current pots.
General tidy up.

I have a Reiki session booked on Tuesday that I am looking forward to and I need to book a field to take the dog to practise his re-call towards the end of the week.

So today, shopping, decluttering bookcases and wrapping two parcels ready to post on Monday and watching the rain.

Plans have to change, I didn't take into account wonky walls and skirting boards in our old house. So the new plan, bookcases going upstairs into Mr D's office and a wooden unit is coming down  stairs, going to take a lot more time and effort.
On a positive note I have two bags of paperbacks for the charity shop on Monday. Also a vintage tea set wash and ready to photograph to list on eBay and a few bits to go on Market place.

The sun has got the memo and is out this morning. Washing drying on the line and another load going round in the machine.
Cleaned and declutter the bathroom cupboard this morning. Bought 3 plastic tubs from Home Bargains yesterday, they were £1.99 each and the cupboard looks much better.
When Mr D get back from his bike ride, we are off for a long walk with the dog . Then back to start the furniture move.

Very productive day yesterday. Made a list of all the food that is in one of our freezers and there is  a lot of it! Was going to do some batch cooking this weekend, that's on hold now until we have used up some of what we all ready have.
Will need to be very creative using up the items to fit in with SW plan, lose 1 1/2lbs when I weighed yesterday and received my 1/2stone award. Fingers crossed for a steady weight lose over the next few weeks. Have my Reiki session book in this morning and I am looking forward to a bit of me time, will use money from my Me Time fund. 

Travel expenses went into the bank this morning, I choose to have mine paid separate from my wages. This money goes to my car pots, majority goes into petrol and the rest is shared out amount the other car related pots. Car is due a MOT and service in November, car is 10 years old and for its age very low milage. best thing I ever did was setting up the car pots, remember times when I would be in utter panic when the garage bill came in.

Weather is awful again today after yesterdays sunshine. Dog walk was a short one again this  morning, we did walk a few miles yesterday, swings and roundabouts.

Have a very large pile of books that I need to sort out. some will go to the charity shop and I can hopefully sells some as well. That's a job for the next few days. Going to turn the mattress this morning a job I cant do on my own as it is so heavy and clean the bedroom. Looking forward to the clean sheets already!

First another cup of tea.

Spend Day - Reiki £25.00.

While I was out Mr D had to pop into town to do some errands and picked up 2 large tubs of reduced cream £1.20 each, will turn these into butter later this evening. Reiki was amazing, something I need to do more of, will book myself in for another session when I return from holidays next month.

This afternoon's plan is to do some listing, sort another bag of books for the charity shop and any surveys I can find.

Morning dog walk done and what a lovely morning for dog walking it is, clear blue skies and warm. Will get a few of the gardening jobs ticked off my list today and I need to sweep the front garden after the swarms of flying ants yesterday. Front garden had thousands, only one or two in the back garden thankfully.

Planning on a house day today as I want to get the curtains down washed, dried and back up by this evening, along with cleaning the windows. Someone is calling later to pick up books I listed for free yesterday and I have more to list today.

Mr D is currently out on his bike, his job for today is touching up the paint in the front room ab=nd hopefully get the jet wash out to clean the patio slabs.

Oh and the dog needs a bath, rolled in something smelly this morning.  

Love a busy day.

NSD.

14 book have left my house today and there is two bags of paperbacks ready to go to the charity shop. Front room is now painted, will clean tomorrow, when paint is fully dried.  Had a few enquires about the items I have for sale hopefully they will go soon.

Pottered in the garden this afternoon, need to buy more compost as the pot I am transplanting into is rather large. Job for tomorrow. Looking very overcast now, feel like we are going to have a storm.

First day back in work after my annual leave and what a busy day it has been, glad tomorrow is a working from home day.
