Thank god we paid the mortgage off

I agree with beanie - slippers are an absolute must.  And to be pounced on.  I've just recently had the fandango of trying to get slippers for LG - almost impossible to find 'slippers' for kids that aren't mock 'huge feet' (guaranteed to trip you up on the stairs), or made from slippy materials, or some version of a clog, which slip off as easily as they slip on 🙄

I have funny feet and recently got what I thought was the perfect pair with a strap. Unfortunately the soles were so slippy they ended up in the recycling. Bah. I hate wasting money.

Was very excited this morning as we were having the new hoist fitted. Unfortunately the mother company has ordered the wrong part and the underlings couldn’t fit it. So unsure as to what the youngest is going to do about college now. Very disappointed as it could take up to 6 weeks to rectify.

That sounds like a right royal pain in the bahookie @ladybird1106, forgive my ignorance was the hoist a mobile one or something else.....?

It’s a hoist that is fitted in the car, so we can transport the youngest’s wheelchair teapot2.

What a shame theres to be such a long wait now and your youngest will miss out on college for that time presumably 😔

The youngest is going to attempt using the bus for the next couple weeks teapot2. This will inevitably have a massive toll on their fatigue levels, but it’s what they want to do at the moment. Hoist company have been in touch and have quoted an additional £890 for an actual hoist that will do the job😤. 
Have been ill🤢 again but this time seems to be linked to something I’ve eaten. Not got a lot done. Hopefully today I can pick up the pace and get jobs done before the snow arrives. Trip to the allotment, pick up olio requests, sm shopping and look at getting a DAB radio with my Christmas money from mum. I’ve been given strict instructions to spend it on something I want and not let it be absorbed into the food/house budget. 

A skeleton watch I had on the bay has been returned, so relisted as broken and could be used as parts or disassembled and made into a unique piece of jewellery. Wish I had the skill to do this myself. Maybe if it doesn’t sell I’ll have a go. Perhaps there is a YouTube video I could watch 🧐. 

This afternoon I need to do some housework 🤨 and cooking( granola). Need to target an area for a 15 min decluttering and spend 15 minutes of uploading items to selling sitesas well. Decided to take this approach to stop me feeling really overwhelmed by the amount that needs doing.
 Funpot was decimated on holiday, Mr🐞 has received £30 cashback from cc, so took that out in physical money. A good start to the year. 

Right best get to it.

The hoist company are so out of order.

I love that way of tackling things 🐞 15 minutes here or there. I sometimes set a timer to motivate myself too, or put a record on that I know lasts a set amount of time. 

I've recently bought some fluffy cr0cs for at home and wear those instead of slippers, they're so cozy! Non slip too, I have a bit of a fear of slippers as the last pair I had I slipped over with 🙈🙄 so these work well as an alternative.
