Love the bookcase storage you have.

@Soontobeoap your house looks lovely!
 

I decluttered a load of money to the storage place 😔 No chance of bringing anything back this time, as I still have to sort two boxes brought back last time.
 

I then took back some books I’d bought by mistake (when I got lost in a big bookseller’s website and duplicated the order) to their branch in the same town as the storage place. They were all successfully refunded 🎉. But I then bought another two books 😔. There’s still half the refund left though😀.
 

I really shouldn’t be let loose alone in a bookshop!
 

Decluttered:
- unneeded books
- packaging they were sent in left at her invitation with the shop assistant - nothing for you this time, Justin! (bizarrely, and very wastefully, each book was sent as a separate parcel)

Suffolksue - yes Cellulitis can cause delirium.
@Soontobeoap - all looks great.
I went to visit Mr F - sat and waited for Neurology Doctor. It was 24 degrees in the tiny room - I felt myself nodding off. I think I had 40 winks as I felt refreshed when I came to.
They have now moved Mr F to a bay as they needed the single room. He still had the feeding tube in when I arrived but they removed it when he was moved.
Mr F hadn't been out of bed as the hoist didn't work. He had food stains all over his hospital gown and top sheet and I had to scoop food off where he had missed his mouth.
I saw yet another different Dr who said hopefully Neurology will look at the EEG and visit tomorrow.
I said Mr F was meant to have an ECG - as I was leaving - they were preparing to do one.
This new Dr said that they had been treating Mr F for a seizure - just in case - stopping that medication now. He was also being treated with antibiotics for Encephalitis - again just in case.
So we are day 12 and no answers.

Soontobeoap - stunning
MrsF - at least the hospital is ruling things out…..

More frog time today. Remortgage is such a hassle……

@daisy_1571 serene is the last thing my house is but it could be.I only posted the good bits!🤣. I will get there though.

@Willowtree222 when we downsized to this house we had as much storage built in as we could. The book case was built in later because I was fed up with storing them under beds etc. 

Thank you everyone for kind comments.Just need to get the rest of the house done now.and I won't tell you all about the junk behind those cupboard doors.🤐

Only noticed today, when I needed a large box for an eBay item, that I have decluttered an awful lot of packaging. Had a massive box of bubble wrap and other “stuffing” materials which is now quite low and a box of boxes, all flattened but now only tiddly ones left. Yay me. But also uh oh as I still need some for packing the other loads I have on eBay. Shall have to look on our local free site see if anyone has any.

Hugs, @Florenceem, well, at least the doctors are looking for causes, but twelve days are hard for you and MrF. You are a strong person and your faith is a great comfort.Stay strong and hope for better days. X

4 jumpers for the charity shop pile. 

Need to go through my work clothes ( mainly all black) currently heavier than I should be so there’s probably about 3 different sizes in the wardrobe.
