Progress not Perfection

I don't do washing or throw out rubbish on new years day. The rubbish is so you don't throw away any luck. Bins have to wait until the 2nd.

Ooh didn't know that about the bins. Best get it out today then, if it stops raining

Good job it’s not bin day tomorrow 😆 Not sure I have any luck left to throw away, I think it ran out several years ago 🤣

Managed to get the upstairs all cleaned and changed the bedding from the Christmas bedding back to normal. Tomorrow will all be about taking down the Christmas decorations and cleaning downstairs. Providing it’s not pouring with rain we will go out for lunch tomorrow. 

Ended up making a roast veg and pasta bake for dinner. My blood sugar levels have been really low today and I needed carbs. I do suffer with very low blood sugar levels from time to time, always have done since I was young. Usually sorted with a jacket potato or pasta. 

I doubt very much that I’ll still be awake to see the new year in. I used to love NYE when I was younger, always had a new dress and spent hours getting ready, but I can’t be bothered with it now. When I was a teenager a Scottish neighbour, who was my honorary gran, had the best Hogmanay parties ever and I have some very fond memories of going over there with my mom. 

Mr SA has been warned to wind his neck in with the beer tonight! I do not want to be mopping up after him again 🙁

I didn't know about the washing or the bins - I can understand you'd want to avoid washing on NYD after your experience that year, SA. Admittedly I won't be purposefully observing either of them: bin day isn't tomorrow, and washing may depend on the weather (forecast is currently in favour) and whether I'm organised before we go to visit DS2 (far less likely).

Have a lovely New Year, and all good wishes for 2024.

Its only what my Mum said but I do carry it on just in case.   She never sewed on a Sunday either.

My mom never sewed on any day 🤣 She just danced and played music. She didn’t really do cooking or cleaning either 😆

I've never heard about washing or putting the bins out. I've decided not to risk it and did the washing tonight. 

My bins do need emptying and bin day is Tuesday so they will need to go out tomorrow night. X
