    That's tough @Blackcats, well done for your support. Thank goodness they're happy there, what a relief for all
    Care home took my elderly relative to a Tom Jones concert last week which they loved and even remembered 2 days later.  Made me very happy to know they had such a fun time.  Meanwhile we continue to try to wade our way through the quagmire of forms and poorly explained roles, responsibilities and abbreviations of anything technical.  Judging by your experience with your build "it's not unusual" 🤦‍♀️

    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 hoursDomestic goddessing all over the show here

    I went one better & threw the plughole protector in the bin a few months ago.

    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?
