I'm feeling frustrated at not being able to get anything done. Blood test was a disaster, she couldn't get any. She's the nurse that took my blood in April/May when they didn't test for the thing I asked. I've got to go back tomorrow for another nurse to try.
Getting nowhere fast with the storage stuff, conversations are being had but that's all. I was going to go down there tomorrow but now I have to go back to the docs.
I am off work and meant to be resting but I'd still like to do something useful!!
I'll have to live vicariously through you lot for the next few days.

If the nurse is struggling to get your blood, can you ask them to send you to the hospital? I generally find they are better, and if you turn up early in the morning (I used to go at 7am) there isn't much of a wait. They also listen to the mobile veins/small veins/people have difficulty as they know what they are doing and appreciate the warning so they can use the correct technique.

I always get the form and go to the hospital as the nurses at the surgery always have problems.  Also you need to drink plenty of water prior to your blood test as it helps the blood to flow easier.

We've found it's actually better to go to the hospital about 10.30am so all the school children and workers have been and gone!  Might not be an option for you though.

A bag out of the house into car to go to textile recycling. 

Towels moved from clean washing pile to the bathroom. 

What does everyone do with their toilet rolls when they buy them in bulk?

If they don't get blood out of me tomorrow they'll send me to the hospital. I drink extra before, and keep myself warm. Somebody has suggested windmilling my arms to get the blood flowing.
He knows a lot of what's in there, it's glass and ceramic stuff that used to be worth decent money.
I nipped home to put my birds away, picked up some deep conditioner and facemasks etc and going to have a bath and a bit of a pamper. I also saw how many facemasks I have, so they can go on olio tomorrow. I think they were all gifts. 
I've always been too scared to read MK, but I have got so much better at not hanging on to things. Just a bit of a backlog to deal with.
Who else has done what? I'm giving myself the job of cheerleader for the next few days.

Well done @PennysIntoPounds every little helps! 
Two vinted sales @Wanna_Bee_Free and two drop offs! Great effort!

And @beanielou got a bag out of the house too! I'm proud of you all.
Do you mean for storage? Mine are in my cupboard over the stairs with all my other bulk buy/excess toiletries and cleaning stuff.

@rachmac3 I read Marie Kondo's books recently and they weren't what I'd been expecting at all! I think I was expecting to be told to throw away all my possessions, but they're actually very gentle and quite peaceful 😊

@Cheery_Daff ooooo ok, not so scary then? Maybe I'll look for one on audible or borrow box.
