    Good morning, 

    Weather is raining and windy here in my valley this morning, possibility of thunder later. No washing to go out today as I managed to get two loads dry yesterday, in-between the light showers.

    At last the painting in the bedroom is finished, during the hot weather spell on a lot got done. Decided not to wallpaper one of the walls, wallpaper has been returned and the room looks lovely all one colour. Mr D has fitted a new light pull, that has been on the to-do list for ages. Few items to buy/get free are needed to finish the room, not in a rush to get these, see what turns up.

    NSD have been few and far between, needed to buy one off things, milk, pasta, new outside sweeping brush, payment for two Vinted returns as I muddled up the orders. :( One items has been returned and will be re-listed as will the other item when it arrived back.

    Yesterday was a NSD, today will need to do a small top-up shop, I have a list so wont forget anything I need. Large pile of stuff in the front garden ready to go to the tip, have had a garden furniture rearrange and I am much happier with the new lay out. 

    Did a car boot sale last Sunday and made £55.00, boot sale is only small and only on for a few hours, so i was very please with what sold. Planning to do another one in a different location next month, to get rid of the final bits that are in the summer house, Items leaving the house makes me happy, house looks so much  better.

    Well done on the boot sale and decluttering.  It's very satisfying seeing things leave the house!
