I hope everyone has had a good weekend
I worked until 2pm yesterday, our usual monthly server maintenance, I took the opportunity whilst waiting for IT to start decluttering some of the contents from my work laptop and 10 years of archived emails 🫣
this afternoon I went through a couple of crafting drawers which ended up as more tidying than declutteringI need to revisit and be honest with what I will use. I am pretty much STABLE with my crafting supplies 🙄 my name is Brambling and I may have a problem! I have some fabric given to me from a elderly friend last weekend which I'll try and go through this week, I'll keep the silk and a light wool fabric but I think the rest can go on free cycle as it's not my taste

Not been on here for a couple of days.
I popped to SA on Friday but left quickly - makes a change - as no donation sorting to do.
Carried some stuff to the charity shop with Mr F. I came over giddy in a shop so stayed at home when Mr F went on a second and third trip to the charity shop.
I planned to stay indoors but got a call to ask if I could supervise D of E youngsters at SA while the officers had a meeting. There was a mountain of donations that had arrived - one student helped me while the other worked in the kitchen.We cleared the mountain - Mr F met me at SA so we went home together.
At Dgs J's dance academy there is a prom king and queen chosen at the end of the third year. J was one of the 6 nominated by the students and did a promotional video - he was voted as king.
Yesterday was a tiring day - youngest Dgs S was involved in the music festival which is held each year. The piano section was being held at SA as we have a wonderful grand piano and great acoustics. S was in three classes - he won one and got distinctions in the others. We were at SA from 3.30 to 10.20. We took in the food delivery - had to sort it when everyone left at 10 and then lock up.

Hi all, just popping in to update, apart from the footy I got to the tip so 2 bags of hard plastic and the dead light bulbs dropped off, another pen uu, 4 items into the cs bag, 2 LDFPA. Some support bandage thing that has been lurking around since my knee op years ago has been washed and put in the cs rag bag.
@Vulpix my niece had a Springer spaniel. She was as daft as a brush as well. My niece even went to obedience classes with her and after about 2 years did manage to get her a bit better. She used to sleep on the back of the couch and I always thought she looked like snoopy lying on the top of his kennel
@Muddy_Walker I loved that Australian shepherd though I was pleased the Jack Russell got reserve, his tail never stopped wagging. I have to be honest french bulldogs do nothing for me. OH's sister, who used to breed boxers, tried to convince me a french bulldog would suit me because I said I liked dogs with pointy ears
. The closer a dog looks like a wolf the more I like them, I would love a samoyed but realistically I know I don't have the space but I can dream
Right off to bed now, early start in the morning, hugs to anybody who would like one
370 pen
371 & 372 plastic and bulbs to the tip
373 & 374 LDFPA
Take care everyone

Good morning. Thank you for the messages about the rabbit x
We have 3 labs and as daft as they are, I think they use it to there advantage! If I sit here and stare at you all day, looking cute, I might just get an extra treat. DD1 had a cocker spaniel last summer, he is something else! I dread every time she turns up with him as he makes me feel so old, he has sooo much energy.
Good luck with your assessment muddy-walker.
Not much managed this week with DH being ill. Then we had DD1s dog for the day Friday while they went to the zoo and yesterday was DGD 2nd birthday. When I mentioned the SYLO mini version last week, we'll it might be given a go today. Dd1 has noticed a couple of bugs in their room, only a couple of tiny flies, probably from their plants and a silverfish but enough for her to ask to sleep somewhere else (from the teen that named the tiny spider tgat spenta few days walking around their ceiling and said it was her new pet). We decided last night we would empty everything out, clean the room and only put back what they wanted. Not sure it'll happen today though as DS2 has swimming lesson this morning and DD2 a hospital appointment.
I have spent a lot of time going through my phone storage as I've gone over the limit and having to pay. Although loads gone this week it doesn't seem to be making a huge difference yet.
Well I suppose I better move and see where some children are.

So this week will be a very busy one not back home until Saturday night, all packed and just about to go round to DDs.
I had a super Mothers Day yesterday and got thoroughly spoiled
Onwards and upwards, fingers crossed we get the forever house this week

Happy birthday TC xxx
Flora, love a school disco. Mr V does a mint 70's night. Though he does say he is retired now! I suppose he has been lugging kit about for the last 50+ years.
I made cherry scones to take to craft club,whoops I have had 3, Mr V has had 3 and he has taken the rest to work today. He is relief last week and this week. Hospital later. It might be safer to buy something to take and then I can't sample it.
Found a big colander to go when I was making dinner yesterday. There is quite a collection for the cat sanctuary car boot sale now. Mum had sorted more things to go too. I will distribute them to various places where they are best suited.
Good luck house hunters and sellers. Hugs to anyone in need. Vx:16
