@nannywindow sorry to hear your news.
@Dizzycap Thank you for your inspiring post. Lovely to hear it is possible to declutter!
Isn't it awful when tackling a frog, you make the call, hang on for ages and by the time you explain the problem they give you information you weren't asking about! Eventually everything sorted out and I felt relieved only to realise last night the whole conversation had got derailed and I didn't get an answer to the main question.☹ So back on the phone and spoke to someone I could hear and I explained again. He told me not to worry and they would issue a letter in due course.🙂
The relief was absolutely enormous! It won't last because the other frogs are building up their muscles for a fight!
I have taken so long to post this a massive frog has already grown and taken its place.😥
I am not sure how fast the TLC carriage normal travels but I am hanging onto the back bumper in my dodgy roller skates enjoying myself!

Thanks for having a guess short_bird & Liverpool_Anne 🙂 I won’t keep you in suspense it is “In the Year 2525” by Zager & Evans 😉 If you read the lyrics, you will see what I mean about being prescient - specially the verse referring to the year 9595 😔 Sadly we seem to be managing it well ahead of time 😥
On that rather bleak note, I will sign off

As I wasn’t feeling well yesterday, I just sat and went through a load of paperwork from files. Some went in the fire and a pile into recycling. There is plenty more in my sights!15

Good morning chums its my birthday today and I am just awaiting my eldest DD who is coming for a couple of hours before work as she can work from my house on her laptop while I cook her breakfast
She will also be bearing gifts from one of my granddaughters, plus my grandson and family who lives in the USA.
Then at 11 I have a friend and her OH coming for coffee, and this afternoon my eldest DGD and my DGGD will turn up, and tonight I am off to my youngest DDs for dinner, so no decluttering today, I'm tied up all day.
Tomorrow morning I will be doing a super tidy and apparently remove any photos on display, and the photos and video tomorrow afternoon will be done and hopefully going 'live' on Friday.
Its all go today

I hope you get some cake!Still in bed here, comtemplating what I should do this morning before I go out to work! not feeling very productive after another disturbed night.Might need to make a small list to motivate me, but the most important jobs are to clean the toilets and to clearup the outside blocked drain and I dont fancy either of thos jobs today, so i might just hide under the covers!!♥️ ♥️ ♥️🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸Decluttering 2025 So far 403 / 2025

Many happy returns London1, Have a lovely day.
Thank you Mrs SD for the gold star, I will share it with Mr V as he does all the donkey work. Well done Mr SD on his excellent driving but not well done with shopping. If I send Mr V to the shops even with a list he goes off piste. The Christmas olive debacle is a thing of legend in our house. I put olives on the list, he bought a pot of every type they had at the deli !
I am pleased that you have dodged the worst of the floods weenancy.
I made up a bag of random ribbon last night and listed them on thrift along with some fishing wire and pinking shears, Collected within the hour. Also some craft stuff of Mum's but I only count stuff from our house.
I cut up the blanket from Mum's. Cut the stripe ends off and I will blanket stitch the middle to make an off white throw for the sofa. I have another blanket to do. I thought I would sew the stripe bits together for cat blankets at the cat sanctuary.
Re cycled a pretty tin that I have kept for ages and not found a use for. Passed on a magazine at craft club.
I have finished a little knitted jumper for our Grandson, I have started another one. I will count these once they are delivered as they are slowly using up the craft stash. The intention is for us ,DS,DIL and GS to visit the oak tree we bought to celebrate his birth at half term. An appointment has come through for Mr V's cancer treatment so we may have to change that now. DS is working his notice at school so having to do things in school holidays may soon be a thing of the past, well until DIL's maternity leave ends.

Happy Birthday JackieO, it sounds like you have a busy but very enjoyable day ahead. 😁💐
Still no contract here, 🤞 it gets delivered today. After signing it I will have to drive into Swansea and hand deliver it to the solicitor as I can't risk the post - it was supposedly sent 1st class on Monday to be here Tuesday.
Then it's all about transferring the money, arranging insurance, electricity and gas and Internet. Water, I can do on the day once I find the water meter. I guess I should shoehorn packing into there as well but thankfully my DS1 and DDiL aren't throwing me out. 🤣
Good luck to everyone selling, (and buying), and may it be so much quicker than mine. xxAiming for a Champagne Lifestyle on a Lemonade Budget
