Spring In Our Step

Wednesday2000

I need to order some groceries later and I might see if I can look for some summer dresses as I haven't found much in the charity shops lately. I also need to fill in a Pip form so I need to make a start on that and also clean the bathroom. This weather is so nice after such a long winter.

Two parcels packed up, postage labels attached, and collection booked. So that's 2/3 of the tech gone (although I did find a FB portal in a drawer earlier), and a present posted. I'll have to come up with something else tomorrow, but it will depend on whether I still have people working in the garden or not (not only do I have someone working in the garden, but I unexpectedly have scaffolders here in advance of the new solar installation next week).

Broadband provider contacted, cost reduced by £18 a month from renewal price (although we have paid 2 months at higher price) and credit to be applied for charges relating to equipment we haven't had throughout the last contract, assuming they actually action it this time as we raised this at last renewal.and it didn't get processed.

Ooh, can I join?

My OAT's at the moment:

- Put the old house on the market (chase the cleaners for a date/look at estate agent email when it comes)
- Unpack and put away the bags of previously frozen cloth (clothes moths)
- Clear and tidy my craft room so it's useable
- Sell the stuff I need to sell
- Start planting seeds and set up the planter for plants arriving end of April
- Set up the herb garden (a small area of unclaimed lawn down the side of our house)
- Sew the bags to keep silver stuff in (which has been promised since last November)

Think that will do for now.

@Wednesday2000 - might be worth looking on vin Ted for summer dresses.  There are sometimes bargains to be had.

great work @greenbee.  Tech equipment has a habit of hanging around my house long after it's stopped being used.

wow @CCW007 - that's £216 a year diverted away from your broadband provider and staying in your purse.  I saved my dad £414 by sorting out a new 18 month contract for him with V Media.  

This is a great way for us all to deal with our niggly tasks and directly or indirectly save miney.

only 1 completed task today but it's an important and long overdue one.  Some paperwork has been signed and witnessed and filed away in the relevant place.  Feels like a weight has been lifted.

Of course you can @Wraithlady, great list to be getting on with

What a relief @Blackcats, well done you

Excellent work everyone!

I haven't been terribly productive as Mr PIP and I have been having a couple of days enjoying ourselves for our anniversary, but I did get a vinted offer up to a decent price so could confirm that one amongst the various offers, and will post it tomorrow

You deserve a few days off @PennysIntoPounds Productivity can wait!

My task today was to return an item. I did not do it! Tomorrow's task is to find the receipt so I can return the item.

I also have to knock on the doors of complete strangers to discuss the alley...

Hi folks! I'd also like to join in please:-)

I have many tasks but my main one at the moment is to list all the decluttered items I have saved to sell. I made a start through the first 2 months of the year but due to onging health issues amongst other things, I've lost my mojo a little towards the end of March. My aim is to list 10 decluttered items every day until everything is listed. It doesn't sound much but by the time you've taken pics, written decriptions and listed, an easy 2 hours can be burnt up and longer for me when I'm feeling very fatigued   Yesterday I only managed to list 4 items, so today I'll try to list 16 to make up for it I think it'll be a very tall order, but I'm willing to give it a go xx

Hi @Dizzycap and welcome 😊
Listing 10 items a day sounds like quite a lot? Maybe aim for a minimum of 5 and if you get to do 10 then you can have an extra celebration dance? 

I am finding I am bone tired atm and struggling to do much in the evenings. I have rehomed the iron and the sonic cleaner from the dishwasher cupboard. I have also shuffled things around to find a spot for the plastic bags holder (big Br@bantia one that we’ve had for years) that was under the sink. Struggling to find a location for the bin bags … I have another kitchen cupboard shuffle to do but I may have persuaded Mr KK to let go of a heap of children’s mugs that his mother offloaded onto us when SHE was decluttering …! 🙄😂

Aiming to do a lot more of this this weekend …. This task is a lot harder than I anticipated.

Tried to do another OAT yesterday and find out how to add more to my previous employer’s pension account with Gaelic widows …. Apparently I should be able to do it through the App via ‘Pay’. I have the the App, there is no ‘Pay’ function …. I guess I have a dodgy app?

I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed too KK, and not finishing till 7/8pm means nothing happens in the evenings. However, the watering really does need sorting otherwise the vast amount of money I’ve spent on trees, hedging, and shrubs will be wasted.
