Finally delivered a bag of random things to the charity shop today after its been hanging around for weeks.
Last night I went to return something on amazon that arrived 3 weeks ago and has been sitting waiting for me to get around to it (poor quality) and they did a refund with no return expected - so I gave the it to DD with the rider that it was free and wasn't brilliant - but better than nothing (and she didn't have this item)

Finally got the scything done at the front of the house where the tree is coming down on Friday.
I also have stuff to take to the CS, as last time I carefully loaded it up to go they weren't taking donations. I might ring on Monday morning to check and if they are chuck it in the car and get rid of it as I'm having to empty out a couple of rooms for plumbers/electricians/carpenters/carpet fitters/decorators.3 -
Well done all, lots of good progress here!
A small but important OAT for me v before I've even got out of bed - I've changed 4 password that were found in a data breach 😬 I've had this notification before and ignored it 😬 but this morning used my general underlying anxiety to do something useful for once 😂

Thanks for the reminder Cheery. Something I can do before I get out of bed too… like you I usually ignore it!
Cheap/free/negative Agile prices today, so lots of laundry being done including all the dog bedding to remove any lingering kennel cough germs. I should probably do cat bedding too if there’s time. Apples needs stewing, snacks baking, and dog kongs/lick mats filling. I may also bring some logs in if I’m feeling energetic!4 -
Sewed some of the bag yesterday and planning to do some more this week. Thank you for the accountability on here!4
