Morning all, thanks for the list Natty.
Will do the living room this morning once the sun comes out. It's been v. wet and blowy for the last few hours but seems to be easing now.
Also need to replenish the indoor log store once the rain clears properly.

Morning everyone xx
I've lost two posts this morning so I'm hoping tis third time lucky.
I'm up, made my bed, dressed, eaten breakfast, lost a post, fed the birds, drove to Mr Al, bought groceries, drove home, put groceries away, put out the recycling, lost another post. And here I am.
It was very wet and windy earlier. Now the sky is blue. Of course if I'd waited to go shopping it would have continued to kelch it down. Law of Sod. Heyho.
I bought Advent calendars for P&S, DS and DF as I spotted them in Mr Al. Get me being organised!
Back to work tomorrow. I love Mondays, not so keen on Tuesdays. But I get to go to work = I have a roof over my head and bills are paid. Call me Pollyanna 😊
Wishing you all a calm week.

I have FINALLY sat down.. Dot cleaned, dressed, drugged and deposited at schoolSqueak deposited at schoolMoomin taken to hospital, had blood tests without incident.. She is always so much better when I am there.. they ask her questions and expect replies when she is concentrating on breathing.. I talk at her and say things which make her smile/giggle.. it's hard to faint when your mother is talking about cats and their silly antics.. all over and done in minutes. OH grabbed milk and eggs and juice from Tesco while we were in..
Laundry to shuffle.. just waiting for parcels to be collected. *FLING*Booked parents evening appointments and trying unsuccessfully to book a nail repair! i have a naked middle finger.. it is always the middle one.. lol

Morning again ladies, and of course @Cloth_of_Gold, good to see you back.
Today so far, taken four bin liners of stuff to church hall, they put a call out for jumble sale donations, on Facebook. All sorted from our bedroom last week. Four bags of stuff, 15 bags of clothes, two bags of rubbish and two of recycling, and the room looks.... just the same! Might need to remove some more. Also done the shopping a day early. Car is booked for MOT tomorrow. DW loaded for the first time. Helped OH adjust the hinges on kitchen freezer, the lid wouldn't stay shut. I think we may need a new seal.
Really quiet here. There is a culvert under the road between us and next door. It's got a huge hole under it, more like a cave! Road closed both ways, so no traffic at all. Might make it difficult to build the village until next month.
Had vertigo again all weekend! Woke this morning, stood up and grabbed the bucket to be sick, and nothing happened. It seems to have gone again, thank goodness.
Of to read today's list, see if i should do anything, hugs to all, mumtoomany.xxxFrugal Living Challenge 2025.11 -
