Stuck the felt pads to the bottom of Mr KK’s dining room chair. Very 🤞 that he gets through a meal this evening without having to do the leaping-about-ow-ow-dance …

Emptied, relined and wiped down the recycling bin 😊

If you have an ironing board, get that out and raise it up as high as you can. Mr KK can eat at that. 

When he's sitting down, make sure he has both feet flat on the ground and is sitting straight no matter how much he grumbles.

Thanks Greenbee. He managed an entire meal this evening without pain on his ‘new’ chair 😊 Phew …

Waiting for the chimney sweep - appointment is 'morning' 🙄. Dog will need taking out soon, so it'll have to be quick and local in case he arrives while we're out. However, I have made good use of the waiting time:

Various hoover bits cleaned (just remembered I need to take a screwdriver upstairs to get the brush out of the big hoover to wash), one sack of cat litter emptied into the storage bin in the utility room (they rarely use indoor loos, but I'd rather have it to hand) and two move moved to the feed bin in the workshop - I've only been tripping over them for about a year, one sack of puppy kibble (the last one!) moved out of the feed bin and into the utility room, dregs of old bags of puppy/dog food tipped into new sacks, cardboard box removed from utility room ready to go into shed for use on the veg plot. That lots definitely counts as OATs. 

Dog bedding is dry, so I need to put the dog bed back together and then shove the people bedding that was washed overnight in the dryer in it's place. There should be enough sun for the TD, oven (lots of squash to prep and cook), and DW to run today. And maybe another load of laundry. 

I still have a LOT of stuff left to move/put away upstairs, but most of it will have to wait until the landing carpet is down.

A small flurry of OATs from me today! 

✅ finally rang neighbour's solicitor to arrange an appointment to confirm a witness statement for a dispute they're having. Letter has been sat on the kitchen table since the end of October! 

✅ rang dentist to book a check up - they texted to ask me to do so on 4th Nov so that also counts as an OAT

✅ retrieved a couple of 'humane kill' traps from an outbuilding in a bid to end our rat issue - we've tried for almost 3 weeks to catch in a non-kill trap with no luck (did catch a field mouse though 😂) so getting out the big guns now. Fingers crossed.

Nice to tick a few things off, they've been rather piling up lately. Still plenty on the list but a bit of momentum is good!

Called the local hospital to confirm my blood test paperwork is valid there and not just at the big hospital. They said yes, which is good news.

Tried to get some stuff from the garden centre as I just had time to get there/get stuff/get back before my meeting... but carpark was rammed and chaotic so came straight home and ordered it online. And roasted squash

People bedding is dry. Two more dog beds washed - on is partly dry, the other wet. Overnight electricity pricing isn't great, but not disastrous, so hopefully I can get some stuff dry, a load done in the DW, and charge the battery in preparation for a very miserable day tomorrow. 

Did some work (not really enough) and then took the dog out and it's started raining (although the weather forecats claims it isn't).

I think I might go and close the curtains, light the fire, and hibernate!

I've had a busy week so I'm clutching at straws a bit but...
I've had an internal door removed and removed from the house. I've had my second blood test and combined it with my asthma review and flu jab.
I've booked a day off soon so I can do a big declutter and tip run.
I think that's about it. I'm having a much needed rest this evening then I'll crack on tomorrow.

Oh! Storage unit got mostly emptied on Wednesday. I need to go back and empty the bits that couldn't go to auction and take them to the tip.
And I submitted the application form.

Unscrewed door and tested it in new location. 
Also cleaned it. 
I could have an entire list of OATS that would just say cleaned x,y and z.

I finally did my GP bloods check nearly 2 years after I was invited to do so. Now I just have to make an appointment to sort the sadly necessary medication. That might take me another two years.

I also sorted my extensive collection of jumpers into rainbow order which makes me smile everytime I look at them.

Oooooo I love the sound of rainbow folded jumpers @redofromstart !
