Thursday: good morning from a bright & sunny but oh so cold 🥶 east London. I was up & dressed before 10:00 as I have an appointment with the dental hygienist today - in west London. Surprisingly I slept quite well as I have been dreading the visit - my pain threshold is very low when it comes to my teeth 😣 & this is the first time I am having an hour long appointment. Oh well it is what it is. Fortunately DH is accompanying me 😇
Florenceem, pleased to hear that both you & MrF slept well 😊 Hopefully now that MrF is home & has extra meds, he will start to recover & regain his strength more quickly than being in the hospital. You are both in my thoughts & prayers 🙏 I hope that the weather stays dry for your trip into town 🤞
Great decluttering wishus 👏
Lovely post Heatherweed 😊 Fingers crossed that if Florenceem needs to get carers in for MrF that she will be lucky first time & get good ones 🤞
Dizzycap, you have a very full day planned 🤩 I hope you have factored in some rest & relaxation time 😉 Good luck with your continuing mission to clear items from behind Door 4 of the mega wardrobe 🍀
GrannyKate pleased to hear that you are over the worst 😊 although it sounds like you are still not 100% ☹️ Excellent decluttering 👏 Thanks for the reminder about birthday cards for February - I just have the 5 😧 & need to get my ‘arris in gear to top up my supply of suitable cards 😉 I will keep my fingers crossed that the card arrives on time 🤞
Lovely post daisy_1571 😊 & thank you for such kind words 🥹
oceanspirit, This “Love the idea of swapping homes - it’s so much easier to be objective with other people’s things. In reality, could I let someone declutter my home? Probably not, but I would be happy to have someone with me to assist with the more difficult decisions as OH always persuades me to keep things if I’m not sure” is very well put & could be describing me (apart from the last bit as my DH doesn’t really express an opinion 😉) Excellent work with getting various tasks done & remember that if it ‘feels better’ then it definitely looks better 😊 it is just that as you are tidying, cleaning sorting you tend to forget how it looked before 🙂 Perhaps before & after photos might help 🤔 Meanwhile a medal🏅 is on its way 🙂
vulpix, sorry to hear about all the “screws & pins” 😔 It must be ‘fun’ going through airport scanners 😉 Definitely a ‘Bionic Woman’ when it comes to decluttering 😊 Dilly is wonderful, bless her cotton socks but biscuit sorting is a step too far 😂 Excellent decluttering by both you & MrV 👏 Definitely sounds like MrV has finally retired after so many ‘false starts’ 🥳
foxandflowers, you should definitely be doing a ‘victory lap’ after all that decluttering 😊 Excellent work 👏 and worthy of a Gold Star ⭐️ which is on its way 🥳 Keep up the good work 😊
I am about to have a 2nd cuppa (small one this time) whilst I get sorted for the visit to the hygienist 🙂 Hope everyone has as good a day as possible especially Florenceem & MrF 🙏
