  • A clear out and a free takeaway is definitely a win @KajiKita

    Many listings.
    I don't know if it's autumn or build stress but I've got clear-out-itis!

    I keep hoping to infect DS with this. So far I am not doing too well.  He seems to have put even more carp into the boxroom that he feels the need to keep.  I have reached the stage where I want the dining table the sideboard & the settee at the tip.  He will not enjoy Saturday
  • Well he'll have Sunday to recover then won't he @badmemory

    I wasn't actually planning on allowing a recovery Sunday, but then I may need it due to the effort not to lose my temper! I am talking about things like the carcases of old computers here.  Innards already removed.  I also need to check on how the local tip is working now as covid time was a nightmare.

    I hope this is infectious. I really do need to take a load of stuff to the CS. Probably more than one load really.

    😁 Up and at 'em @greenbee! I am absolutely refusing to have piles and bags of stuff sitting around that I know full well do not need to be in this household.
    The weather has already turned, this is the last of the summer light to get things done in, and the clocks going back and winter can be miserable enough without me staring daily at Things I Didn't Do.
    Obviously more sorting out and piles of things will occur, but they'll be new tasks!

    I've got clear-out-itis too, been listening to Marie Kondo and have been quite ruthless in my wardrobe 😬 Washed everything as some of it was a bit fusty, but it's all dry now and most of it is in a bag. Just need to find a bag for the rest, then I'll drop it off at the weekend.

    I have to take some donation bags too tomorrow. We booked last minute tickets to a show and I have to call up to book my dog at the kennel in a minute. I have an appointment later today and then I either want to come home and start this library book or bring it back this week.

    I just vacuumed downstairs and my husband can do upstairs. I need to clean the bathroom too.
