Three books to the charity shop. Starting to pack the sewing room tomorrow (well the clothes in the wardrobe) so there will be more to follow

Hello. Hope you all had a good weekend.
Read through a lot of posts but can't remember what anyone said :-(.
Not done much decluttering, Did think I can't get rid off piles of stuff everyday.
Helped my friend at a craft fair on Saturday. Didn't buy anything though I was tempted by a big highland cow.
On Sunday my bag was so bad with the lifting and carrying I could hardly move. All I did was one load of washing.
Today I decided to get something done. Not before time.
808-809 Recycling and rubbish out.
810 soft plastic given  to friend to take to coop.
811 Water bottle that is leaking - bin
812-822 Newspapers and mags to neighbour.
823. Paperback  book put in the swop box in the hall.  (I live in a small block of  flats).
824-825  E-mails deleted.
826 Dry washing folded and put away.
Everything looks fairly tidy, just don't open the cupboard of doom.
Hope you enjoy the rest of the evening.

ilovetea  xx

Liverpool Anne there will be plenty plants to take to the new garden. Totally different style /layout to what I currently have.

Today I packed 6 boxes. It’s a start. 

Put a piece of furniture ( that I do love but won’t have room for) on marketplace. Bought it from there a few years ago and had much enjoyment from.

Hi all, reasonable day today. 16 portions of various meals removed from the freezer and delivered to the niece yay . 4 LDFPA, kitchen recycling emptied and lr recycling emptied so all the evidence of easter eggs has left the building . I have also finished another book which has been put to one side to be passed on to a friend. 3 more loads of washing through the machine and on the maiden. I have been sorting through my jumpers/ fleeced etc and have realised I do the same as with my t shirts, wear the same ones all the time so I have instigated a system to wear them all, any that aren't comfortable/ don't fit / no longer like will be going to the cs. OH came home with a pot of mixed herbs. It's like a small strawberry pot with different herbs in each opening. They will never survive, the pot is too small and the watering will never work, no hum.
We heard today a friend is in hospital with pneumonia so we are going to visit her tomorrow evening. I am meeting another friend for coffee tomorrow morning so it will be a juggle around when OH finishes work when we can get to the hospital.

@Moorviews it rained all day here until about 4.30

@charlies_tribe hope your hubbies sciatica sorts itself out. I got a couple of very effective exercises from a physiotherapist that usually sorts mine out when it kicks off. Maybe it's worth asking the Dr for a referral if it is bad, hugs.

@Brie " get back to Portsmouth without a breakdown" so funny

@Vulpix good luck getting the chair sorted, we had a similar problem with our outside chairs but OH managed to cobble something together but I don't think they will last much past this year. 

@Mrs SD beautiful flowers and very interesting photos

@Muddy_Walker hugs

Off to bed now as I have to be up and at em early
Hugs to everyone who would like one

495 - 510 meals from the freezer yay 🙌
511 kitchen recycling
512 lr recycling
513 - 516 LDFPA
Take care everyone

Morning all.  Busy but enjoyable weekend but stuff to put away now.  Did reduce the hollow plastic egg collection a bit weeding out cracked and broken ones - think we still have 120 plus but youngest DGC is 9 now - could probably not do it next year.  DGD1 was really poorly and they left earlier than planned yesterday - migraine type headache (not usual for her) - wondered if she has covid.  Ex DIL has it and I ended up driving children home.  Still some Easter Eggs here for DGCs who I didn't see at weekend. DS2 cooked lovely Easter Sunday dinner of Roast lamb and we had rhubarb (from garden) and apple crumble.  Doing first session of a new interest group for U3A this morning - will see how it goes. 

418 Broken plastic eggs binned
419 Lots of Easter eggs left with DGCs
420 Decluttered most of a spare chocolate egg and felt sick

Wish weather would improve - you get a few hours of sunshine but it is soon raining again.

Back from my jollies to Spain and nothing extra brought back except insect bites and a burn on my hand from filling my hot water bottle! Yes it was that cold and rained every day, though we made the most of it and had checked the weather forecast and had packed appropriately. Today will be catching up with laundry,foodshop and collecting the Guinea Pigs from their holiday boardings.

I got my day indoors - first for 69 days. 
The charity shop was shut - Mr F had misread the opening times notice - trolley of stuff is still in the porch.
I sorted through LO made greeting cards yesterday and did a few more.
Mr F checked the outside of SA yesterday evening - loads of donations - rain forecast so he carried it all home - 3 journeys - insisted so I didn't have to go round and open up.
Mr F will be off to town with charity shop donations this morning. I want to do some crafting - don't know yet if we are on food delivery collection tonight.
Wet morning here - my Dmd has gone off to the Carribean in her break from school.

It is quite a bright and sunny day here, although not too warm when I was just playing fetch with my dog in the garden.

I had to call up the kennel as my dog is booked in this week as we are staying in a hotel for one night. I also called up to book my hair to be cut next week. I haven't had it done since before Christmas and it looks so straggly at the ends!

I did put some of my trainers and indoor slippers in to wash today. They are drying upstairs. I did clean the bathroom too. I need to go and clean the kitchen in a minute.

My husband has just gone to pick up my library book and drop off the donation bag. I added two more jumpers to it. I wanted him to buy some Spring flowers from Aldi as well. He just called and two of the books are ready for me now. We are going to see the Godzilla film too while we are at the hotel. I did want to go to see a local beach I haven't been to yet, but I will see what the weather is like as it has been quite changeable here lately!

Lovely flowers Mrs SD and thank you for your cheerleading 

I’ve really enjoyed reading about everyone’s efforts 

I’ve gone through more beauty items yesterday and managed to get rid of items that were not being used or past their best - bringing my total to 80/366

I have sold 5 tops I bought on vinted that didn’t fit / suit me. Lesson learnt, be a bit more selective and stick to the brands I know….

i have actually made around 200 pounds from selling on vinted over the last couple of months,  but I have spent it all 😂  so nothing banked …

LO tried a new art class recommended by a friend. It was a free trial, and she loved it. Thing is when I went to register, it is 400 pounds per term. (1.5 hour session once a week) and she is 6, so not even at secondary school. I am struggling to justify this. Can I be very MSE and commit to an art project and buy good quality supplies and do something artistic together once a week? I will look on some homeschooling sites for inspiration. I don’t want to dampen her enthusiasm but i think I might prefer to put that money towards a holiday. Just thinking out loud…
