Sorted out the spare room and made a good start on the garage. Popped to Morrisons for a quick shop and picked up the 1000 promotion points.
I've added almonds, prunes and a cod liver oil capsule to my daily diet now. All very good for bone heath apparently."Think of many things, do one"

Swapped my craft table for a smaller one and rejigged the office furniture - it looks and feels so much tidier - I thought how depressing it was feeling last week. This is a huge improvement. When I was at Ikea getting the new table, I thought I might as well bite the bullet and buy the 'dressing table' I've wanted for a while, its much smaller than the desk I've been using. So I then had a mini bedroom sort out, and everything is in its place and feels so much tidier/more spacious. Still need a good declutter but at least its all (mostly) hidden now. I'd like a basket to put the hair dryer/straighteners in but while I was sorting the office I found an old cream coloured box that will do for now. Then I found another larger box that will slide under the bedroom chair and hold my weights etc in. it. I had to 'blue peter' it to shorten to the perfect size and I might even cover it in fabric (one day).
After doing the office, I decided one of the monitor risers from Ikea would be perfect, so I've ordered that and swallowed the £5 delivery. Then decided on the mirror I wanted for above the dressing table - so that's probably going to be another £5 delivery charge but it will save petrol and a couple of hours driving.
No excuses not to get selling and sorting the rest of the stuff now. Thought about the Swedish Death cleaning show, and I definitely don't want anyone to have to start sorting through piles of my clutter."Think of many things, do one"
