@Fizz2015 definitely ring the GP on Monday, I hope all goes well with your Nan's funeral.
I have cleared out my porch - my MMiM for the day, didn't quite take 23 minutes so will add that time on to tomorrow. I have been tripping over the stuff getting in and out the house since C/mas.
I have just completed my third make in March. I call them 'Lovesquares' and I make them for the DC (mainly for eldest dd). When she was under therapy for separation anxiety, the therapist suggested that i give her something of mine to take to school to ease the separation. I didn't have anything i thought was suitable and was crafting a lot at the time so thought i would make a square of fabric with a little felt heart in. Made with love (sometimes wonky sewing!) And with a heart for love. And it worked! Sometimes dd doesn't need them and they stay in her book bag or pocket, other times she holds it for the entire day but it helps her get through some
tough times and her teachers say it has made a real difference. She has 24
dinosaur ones now - she wants to be a palaeontologist when she grows up. 2024 decluttering Campaign

@vulpix thinking of you and your family.
Hugs to all who need them today x
I haven't managed as much as planned. DD met her Friend around lunchtime and spent ages out on their bikes/Park. I'm not tidying her room without her so they're sleeping on the sofa tonight (they're used to it as DD2 can't always stand them being to noisy in the bedroom).
While doing the dishwasher earlier I noticed the cutlery bit was empty so decided today's MMiM would be the cutlery drawer. Completely emptied all cutlery and tray in to dishwasher, drawer scrubbed and everything put back. Just a broken bottle opener not gone back in, it broke at Christmas so no idea why it went back. Not sure how a drawer that only has clean things put in it gets so dirty. So only one MMiM today 3/31

Florenceem, I think I managed to confuse myself 😉 🙊 I was meaning if you had 420 out of 406 did you carry forward the extra 14 from one month to the next 🙄 but as you say you are running your numbers in tandem with a yearly total 🙂 & starting each month from scratch 🙂 Apologies 😞Florenceem said:Vulpix - condolences on your loss.
