Thanks HSL, Jwil and Blackcats

My garden is bringing me joy - although it's also yelling - mow the lawn, paint the fence etc... as now the ivy has been cut back and the bamboo we can reach panels that were covered before... 

DD kindly helped me with decluttering for 90 minutes. Just took 3 bags to charity and will do a tip run tomorrow - once I've sorted through some electrical cables. I seem to have so many and I don't need at least a crate full so will aim to take that and an old quilt and some other stuff to the tip. I also filled a bag of books for charity - and half filled another charity bag and filled a bin bag. Progress.

You're totally refreshed after the holiday and decluttering a lot, which is good to read. It's worth asking CS's if they want the cables too as some take electricals.

Well done for writing so many words, perhaps the breaks double up as a retreat and are possibly cheaper too.

Is DD happy with her car?

Thanks Beanie, WD, MF and Lucielle

Thanks now on 50,708 words having added a few thousand more this weekend. As importantly I've outlined some of what needs to happen next even though I haven't written it yet so I have a better idea of where to go next.

Yesterday a crown broke off so I'm at the emergency dentist later. The call out is free (covered by insurance - and he's waived the £20 excess) but it depends whether he can reattach it or whether I need a new bridge... Could be expensive.

Before that I need to have a shower, do my washing and take some stuff to the tip.

I think DD could have an alternate role as a declutterer and organiser if she ever wanted it. She enjoys it unlike me.

Good news - my dentist isn't going to charge a fee for being seen today. I need a new crown - but can get a white one made instead of a gold one which will be a win. The tooth is already root canalled so not as big a job - so with the insurance I have in place I will have an excess of £103 to pay. He said what I'd eaten wasn't really to blame and that it was due for replacement anyway. That made me feel better.

I'm going to have a coffee and then nip to Mr A's clothing section. There's a dress for £12.50 I like if it's still in stock. I also bought new pretty knickers during the week and they are really comfortable so I'm going to buy more. I then have a Mr A delivery coming later.

I've done one lot of washing. I now need to sort the next load. I may mow the lawn before the dandelions take over...

I may go to Mr A tomorrow instead as there's a £5 mission I need to do but it has to be on different days.

I am having a bridge down on Wednesday.

Good news on the money front if not the tooth front
