I need to properly clean out my fridge and freezer tomorrow before the groceries arrive in the afternoon. I also need to get a blood test done and get my flu jab later this week.
I have a class next week and a soundbath to go to which is more on the fun side.

Finally feel like I have had a day I can post about - started off by descaling the coffee machine (red light has been on for weeks); defrosted the freezer (please remind me to make sure the next one is frost free not low frost); and finally washed my new car which I now need to get the steps out for. Did a few other bits like washing, admin etc. amazing what you can get done without having DH under your feet "Think of many things, do one"

A lurker here 🫣 today has been a productive day for me from cleaning the house and decluttering all the things that I had to have but never used.. joys of having bipolar especially on a bipolar high.. and doing the laundry and having my granddaughters while our DD was at work. I like having everything straight because my head is clearer when the house is straight.Trying to change my life and will:money:7

An OAT. Relocated a wheelbarrow full of stuff from one barn to another. The wheelbarrow had been sitting in the small barn since April!! I can now get in there with some space. In the other barn I unloaded ‘the stuff’ and wheelbarrow now on yard to be used
also stewed some apples from orchard and froze them. Seven tubs. Will do more this week as so easy to do in slow cookerMade it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!5 -
Three Olio things collected already.
I started the mortar on the garden wall.
I've also moved the sofas to the winter position (closer to the fire and out of the draught).Debts 04/01/25 01/10/25
