Thank you everyone - honestly no wild energy, just trying to pace myself in short bursts. The joys of fibro and chronic fatigue. I did think about outsourcing but I don't want or need someone to have an opinion on what to keep or how to organise it, I just need them to do the physical labour that exhausts me. The decluttering person I contacted last summer wanted £55 per hour!
I am interested in the yarn chat too GP, although it is mainly a last year or so interest.
An enjoyable trip out despite the fog and inevitable business of a weekend afternoon. The coffee shop was close to h0bbycr4ft but I resisted temptation to admire overpriced yarn. I did buy some very expensive blood oranges in M4rks so I hope they are outstanding. I was gifted a huge mooli which both the one who doesn't eat and I like. We generally just have it grated and raw, must check for any other ideas.
Better diet today (waves at KK) which has included actually eating some F&V and an omelette. Vaguely regretting caffeine and will be taking water up to drink after my bath.
Other self care has included rediscovering V05 hot oil which was missing from the market for years but turned up in B00ts last week along with the decent bl1stex lip repair cream in the squeezy tube which had also apparently gone off the market for a while. Hoping the hot oil works wonders for my over dyed hair, and I have always sworn by the cream for winter lips so I am a happy bunny for under £10 of fritter.My mortgage free diary: +++ Divide by Cucumber Error.
