Congratulations on the upcoming addition to the family Jazee (and well done on the pre-Christmas chubbage shedding), and Belated Happy Birthday to Mr Ionafan.

Just weighed myself as it's the 1st of the month.  If I lose a pound a week it'll take me until mid-July to get back to a healthy weight.  It's taken 20 years to put it on so I'm not surprised but disappointed nonetheless.  Have rethought breakfasts to include more protein for this month so this morning we're having scrambled eggs with smoked trout - a Christmas treat that never made it out of the freezer.  Win:win.

Haven't started the games yet this morning, but this week hasn't been too bad.  I love Strands, Connections is very hit and miss and Wordle is solvable but only by using five lines at least most days.  What's Letter Boxed?

I absolutely love going into my Room of Doom at the moment because of how much better it's looking.  It's still waiting for me to primp it but it's getting better by the week.  Can't wait to get my treasures down from the attic that have been languishing in boxes for decades to go on the newly empty bookshelves but that will have to wait until I've cleared a bit more of the backlog. 

Wouldn't mind spring cleaning the bathroom today and doing some dusting. 

February's decluttering will start with electronics - two emails have already hit the Trash bin.

Finished the tube of body lotion from Graceland this morning. Going to use up a half bottle of hand lotion next. Before working my way through the stash of lotions and potions that have been gifted to me over the years. My legs have never been so pampered! And they are no longer dry, dry, dry. 

Pops videophoned me from his hotel balcony in Benidorm. He's looking well. And the sun was shining from a clear blue sky. Cold and grey here!

Going to read a couple of chapters of my book and think about what to have for lunch.

HH whirlwind cleaning in DSNXR🥷
HH towards SoS declutter🐸

Caught up on all your lovely inspirational posts.  On the chubbage situation, the meds I'm on seem to make it difficult to lose weight but I'm aiming for half a pound per week - I think that's doable.

I rediscovered a nice tube of hand cream and some emery boards when I cleared on/around/behind/inside the bedside table so am going to make my nails nice again.  Maybe treat myself to a manicure when they're a bit more presentable 💅

I also keep walking past things I've decluttered, cleaned & tidied, feeling good and thinking 'I did that!' 

Time for another coffee if anyone needs one ☕️

Jazee

Me again.

HB - letter boxed is next to strands and there are letters around the box and you have to use them all to create words but as few words as possible, and each consecutive letter has to come from a different side of the box.

Dailies are done and Poppet has been walked.

Hi all 

Well done on the decluttering targets HB and glad to hear Pops is well Round.

Shopping and lunch with DS1.  Trying to get to the bottom of what's going on with his treatment following his visit to the consultant in December.  Bless him I know he is worried but finds it hard to open up even to me.  I still don't quite understand the delay.  And lunch was one of those chain pubs which was a bit rubbish.

Came home to whizz round the house returning things to their correct homes, putting clean washing away, hoovering and changing our bed.

Morning all xx 

I'm up, made my bed, taken my meds,  turned over the calendars, got dressed, fed the birds, put out the recycling, done a laundry shuffle, completed Strands with no hints,  completed Wordle in three,  only managed two lines on Connections, and Letter Boxed in six. I've finished the book I started yesterday and I'm on my second brew.

HH Admin next.

It's lovely to see the sun 🌞
