I have checked my blood test results. All where they should be, so all good
I have also got myself organised and put p0st-its in my diary for when certain things need to be remembered (ordering bark and sterile compost, booking gardener to sort out my compost bins, renewing passports etc.) over the next few months. I have used P0st-its so if they slip for any reason I can move them on in my diary until they are done.

I have not been being very productive as I'm having a bit of a sad life time but I have just done- brace yourselves- a whole one vinted listing. I am actually somewhat shamefully proud of myself for this.
And not to brag, but I have also put the manky bits from the kitchen plughole protector into the bin after only looking at them for a few hours. Domestic goddessing all over the show here3 -
I went one better & threw the plughole protector in the bin a few months ago.1

Ha yep that's been done a few times @badmemory, fortunately have so far realised and fished it back out, just to make a manky job that bit mankier!0

Thanks @rachmac3. We need to sort our listings lives out. It is so daft having things we don't want instead of possibly getting money we do want.
Fancy doing an hour together this week where we just bloody list things whether we're in the mood or not? One hour at an agreed time, see how much we can get done?2
