    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)

    My major oat this weekend is processing more (all?) of the blooming piles of fruit...!

    Funnily enough greent I had the same experience with Amazon. Such absolute garbage. A clock that won’t stand up 🤣

    So satisfying getting a bag of bits out the gaff @greent. Well done on the amazon issue too.

    Oh dear @beanielou!

    I got the rest of the academic books listings done, despite having to drag myself kicking and screaming 😁
    Well done on the listing.

    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.

    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!
