...and the living is easy

Well, at least all about us doing the things that will make our day to day lives easier, our minds easier, and our long term life and MSE goals easier to achieve 🥂

Oh, and finding mse ways to enjoy it! 

Looking forward to hearing about everyone's summer aims and achievements 😊

Thank you for continuing this thread 🙂 I’m in. I will endeavour to be more proactive this time. Been reading along but not posting and I have so many things I need to do 😔

I will do my usual and bimble along, reading, and posting when I do something oaty, and then make a big effort in the last week of the month. 
I didn't get around to my pile behind the door, I've been chicken nurse all weekend and she died last night so doing all the necessary today. 
So I still intend to do The Pile Behind The Door asap, and my oaty bimbling will be decluttering my phone through the next few weeks.

Remember that thinking and planning and making first steps count. 😊 Sometimes the hardest bit is working back to work out what the first step needs to be to get to the desired goal, which could be 8 to 12 steps ahead from the start point …

Also, delegation is an excellent approach, if there are any opportunities to offload things 😉 - sometimes a job being done badly (e.g. cleaning) is better than it not being done at all, as it saves time the next time through touching that task.

Not my OAT, but we're tackling Mr Cheery's dad's garden today. It's gotten wildly out of hand while he's been in hospital and we've had to focus on DIY stuff and the inside of the house. Brought my own petrol strimmer with me, he's got several electric ones but they're all rubbish.

@rachmac3 - sorry about your chicken.

well I'm sneaking my leftover May tasks into June and hoping no-one notices 😎

however, progress has been made because I've printed out the financial and health & welfare power of attorney forms for myself and MrBC.  We can collect our first signatures this week. I feel reassured now I've read the instructions as I know what I'm doing and who is doing what in the process.

As I've fessed up to previously I really dislike filing so today I'm going to file, shred and clear my paperwork tray ready for a fresh start in June.

I have cleared and cleaned the coffee table in the lounge - Mr KK came back at a critical moment so I could ask questions such as ‘are these batteries dead’ - ‘yes, they can go’ and ‘is this slip of outer packaging plastic with an address on it, important?’ - ‘ooh yes, I will put that in my file upstairs’. 😊

Last windowsill in the dining room cleared and cleaned. There are two houseplants that live on that windowsill, one of which needs repotting - giving it a really good soak first and once it has had time to catch its breath, I will probably try and repot / preferably split and repot it next weekend 😊
