Wednesday2000, I have never been brave enough to have a reading 😔 You obviously had a really good psychic medium 😊 Although I think I would have been really spooked hearing about things I had never done 😱 

She is from your/my old neck of the woods. Bexley/Eltham area, but I don't have her number anymore!

Oh @QueenJess if only my untidy cupboard was as tidy as yours!

Queen Jess nice photos, which I had a nice big, bright cupboard to store stuff in. Can I please ask, where did you get your medicine box? I could do with one of those.

Ive had a good decluttering day, started this morning, when I was looking for the ‘hook’ that had come off the back of the door, to our small ‘receive all’ cupboard. I got rid of 10 old receipts, 3 out of date takeaway menu’s, 12 fridge magnets- we have had an intergrated fridge freezer for 12 years! A tea light with no wick, a bag of foreign currency- will see if CS wants it. Moved some photographs to the pie of photos that need sorting.
Was sorting the freezer out and found the remains of a bag of sausage rolls, must have been in there 5 years! Also some plastic fruit pieces that you use instead of ice cubes- think we used them once in 3-4 years. Found 2 tubs of frozen beef stew- so that’s tomorrow’s tea sorted.
Just let a fly out by opening the window- so that’s another thing gone out of the house 😁

Moved that huge toad along lots last night after starting it a few weeks ago. Its now almost ready to post just one more document to print out.

This WILL be done this evening!!

We are off on holibobs next week and DS2 just mentioned goggles. So out comes the goggles bag i think theres dozen pairs in there and I never wear them, most are too small as the boys are now 20 and 18. I think they can all choose 1 pair and the rest can go to the CS.

When I was young I went to a psychic with my friend and her sister. We deliberately didn’t say our names or chat about anything whilst we waited. He asked to hold something of mine and I gave him a comb from my hair. He held it and said who is Vulpix? He said I would have 3 children but only 2 and couldn’t understand it. ( step daughter) He kept coming back to it. He said that I would marry late in life and be very happy. He also said I would write a book and live over the water in a white building with a flat roof. Not yet! It frightened me tbh. 

 With the unstamped gold. Look into a jewellery workshop. I did a day course and took some scrap gold from where DS had used the diamonds from an eternity and engagement ring in a ring for DIL. I made Mr V a silver bangle with gold balls on the ends. I also gave what I didn’t use to a lady on the course who used it as decoration on a ring she made. I don’t know how much it cost because it was a Christmas gift but I really enjoyed the day. 

 I am sat in the car. The progress in the house seems slow. We are almost ready for plaster. 

 Here is a photo taken earlier of some rocks near where I live. I used to play there as a kid. 

I can’t wait to get back to decluttering in a dust free house!

I have cashed jewellery in at Hatton garden metals 4 times now, I couldn't fault the service (check on trustpilot first if you use them)
You lose the value of the stones and just get paid for the gold silver etc, they were all just sat upstairs in a box and as I have no relatives to pass them on to I cashed them all in, very quick and easy, you take them to the  post office, they pay out next day.

Been awol for a while - lots going on in rl but I have made some progress!! I'll need to find my list and see what I've managed to achieve and what still needs doing (plus add stuff that has arisen since the last list! 🤦‍♀️😂)

Had a day indoors - so far - I will be locking up at SA later.
Sorted a few bits from my wardrobe - 4 items - bulky - 2 jackets and a dressing gown to go to the cs tomorrow. 
Finished the stockings advent calendar - for the 25 stockings of the calendar - I have to cut out 100 shapes - I add wadding and a backing to the front part.
Need to buy some more glue.

Been going round in circles trying to find out how long I have to wait for this op. Given up now and decided to leave it a few days as I can't think who else to ring. Decluttering takes my mind off it though.

A couple of bags of clothes to the chaz, and all my guest bedding on fb (I had far more than I ever use so still plenty!). People collected what they asked for so space made. I've done the spare bed for winter with topper and thick duvet and bedspread, it'll be cold before we know it so it's ready.

Also handed on a table lamp and a laundry basket. Bit by bit it's starting to look better round here.

Thanks for the ring ideas.  I don't think I want to melt them down or anything and given that they are the "same" but just in different sizes I think that they should be dealt with together.  Maybe someone will want them as a set for their wedding??  Alternatively I'm wondering if one or both would work as toe rings.....but what if I try them and they get stuck?????  Ok - weird brain, I admit it.  

As for psychic readings - I had my cards read and the woman was very disappointed and couldn't tell me much of anything.  She claimed this meant I was going to have a calm year ahead when nothing overly exciting would happen.  As I recall she was right on that front.  The weird thing though is that she said there were 3 dark haired men and 3 blonde women standing around me.  Very likely a coincidence but my 3 brothers (all brunettes) were each dating blonde women.  In fact I recall there was a photo taken of the 3 women and someone commented about how much the 3 "sisters" looked alike - that was rather bizarre.
