MrsSD - hope hubby gets well soon. So much Covid around here at the moment.
Caught up on emails now.
Used up my stash of chocolate oranges now. Still working through my carrier bag of Easter chocs/sweets that I bought after Easter last year at reduced prices but long dates.
Bunnies have been breeding.

Florenceem hoping Mr f ok after his fall and monsieur mm with his BP
I'm aching all over tonight- country dancing last night then couple of hours painting and weeding in the garden today. Lovely sunshine and some flowers coming out. Saw a ladybird flying about and got a line full of washing mostly dried.
Happy daisy
Hugs to all
Daisy xx

MrsSD oh no, what a nightmare for both you and DH. I hope I didn't jinx him and that he is home soon and in good health. Hugs from afar for DH 😷 and lots of love for you both xx.
Florenceem I hope MrF is okay after his fall. Loving the bunnies, you're so talented and dedicated in what you do for the SA.
Muddy if they can't be sharpened then wrap them well and bin them as they are no longer fit for purpose.
Not much decluttering going on here except daily stuff but we have gained another roofing job to do now. The corner of dad's shed roof is gaily flapping in the wind so we're waiting for the next dry day, however the weather forecast isn't looking very good for the coming week. I think we may be going into business at this rate 😂 Sadly it takes us a week to get over the exertion 😨
Hugs to anyone in need.

Mrs SD, please try not to catch it, I know it's hard when it's a loved one, but the reason I've not been decluttering over the past few weeks is due I think to post viral fatigue from having covid. I'm back at work and tired all the time. This strain of covid is quite bad and also very contagious, you can catch it in a couple of days, I've read.
Best wishes to Mr SD for a speedy recoveryStart where you are, use what you have, do what you can

MMiM 5/31 is a WIP. I've taken Sweetie's cage apart, scrubbed all the perches and other interior bits and bobs, soaked and scrubbed the base inner and outer. Just got the cage bars to wash down tomorrow.
MMiM 6/31 will be to hoover/ wipe down where his cage was stood before I put it back.
Then I'll be ready for a new feathered friend.
So I've decluttered lots of seed husks, feathers and bird poop.
And I'll be raiding the cupboard to put in a new mirror, ladder, and toys - which Sweetie wouldn't have in his cage.
Today was the first day I could do it without getting upset. I've been watching videos of Sweetie today too. Bless him 😍

Hi all, well it stayed dry all day which was a bit of a shock to the system
. Lots of things I could have done if I had known like give the gate another coat of paint but as it was it didn't happen
. It was lovely sitting out in the sun though
. I sorted the draw and rehomed a few bits as there really was too much in there but the only thing thrown away was a bottle of 3 years ood cough medicine that I had no idea was in the draw. While sorting through my stash of soap OH spotted a couple of the hand made ones with a snowman and penguins in the design. I think I had bought them as gifts but not used them. OH then says oh we can't use them they are too nice, save them for next Christmas. Will I ever learn to not let OH see what I am trying to throw away / use up? This is the 3rd time I have been thwarted but apparently I am the one who hoards things
We have been trying to live out of the freezer and cupboard but we now have a couple of empty draws and I think we are going to have to go shopping either Sunday or Monday as all the batch cooked things I have OH will not eat. I will have a check tomorrow and see what I can rustle up
@Florenceem I really love those bunnies. They will hop of your stall. I would certainly buy them
@Mrs SD, hope the hospital visiting was ok, take care of yourself, hugs
538 draw sorted
539 self care
Take care everyone
