Morning all. I'm not sure what happened but I slept in till half eight. The annoying thing is I don't even look refreshed!
I'm only doing things I enjoy today or must be done like dailies and suggest everyone does the same if they can.Spend less now, work less later.8 -
morning all
bright and sunny here. I have washing to peg out and lots of it, mostly bedding as that’s what i don’t like to tumble if possible, as it just gets itself into a ball.
Brilliant hat, Piggers

Morning all,
Bright and sunny here too, but it was a cold night. Socks-in-bed night. The washing has been sorted again, and there is a load of jeans in the wash, as they might get a fighting chance of drying outside today. Next load is lined up, ready and waiting.
Yesterday I sorted more kitchen stuff out - 2 boxes of bits to go, and half a dozen empty boxes for the recycling. Not sure what today’s plan is. I have garlic to plant, but it is sodden outside and will likely rot before it gets going. I have picked the stitches back up for DD’s top, where I stupidly did 7” (correct) on the fronts and 7cm (duh!) on the back, and then wondered why they didn’t match when I had finished. I’d like to get it finished before I see her next. That hat is awesome, Piggers! DD might be 20, but she would love that!The Back To Work anxiety has starting to creep back in, what a surprise.OK, I’m not worth anything before that second cuppa, so I’m hoping that Round has got it made for me…
Have a peaceful day all xx6 -
Morning all.
WM on as the weather looks set fair for line drying.
Going to the shopping centre with DS this afternoon - he needs new jeans, I need new wine glasses - I don't have any that match any more!
One lot of tomato plants are now defo passed their best so will strip the remaining tomatoes from them and bin the plants. Another lot that I planted later are still looking very good.
Apart from that, I think I'll have a lazy day...I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

I have weeded the strawberry bed, definitely pulled out loads of strawberry plants too by mistake but it was all so overgrown with nettles and dock leaves that it was hard to see what was what!
Also emptied out the ash pan, chopped wood for 45 mins or so and now I’m having cheese crumpets with a cuppa.I need to sit down with a note book and own and do my budget through to year end as well. I get paid next week for first month at new job so I’ll have an idea of what’s what. Take care all xx7 -
I had my second brew (cheers Fayolle) and breakfast. I'm dressed, fed the birds, put out the rubbish and recycling, pegged out first load, and set second load swishing.
I'll get that pegged out then have a coffee. Then WUDUPA.
And ideally ( I typed I really - spooky) need to write an amalgamated list of to do, birthdays, Christmas, everything else, that I keep putting off.
Hugs

I dusted quite a bit today which was needed as I don't do it often enough. That's about it for the latter part of the week, if I'm honest, but every little helps apparently.Hope all the poorlies are feeling a bit better.Someone asked about black mould remover - the best I've come across is the Dettol Mould and Mildew Remover. It smells bleachy, but it works a treat.Better is good enough.7
