Monday is here again, although I must admit that these days I don't dread Mondays! What a lovely feeling that is 😀 This morning I have a 2hr clean in the next village, it is a nice sunny day for a cycle and then a 2hr clean nearer to home this afternoon.
I must admit that we didnt look at cameras or pensions as planned. DH was too engrossed in the racing and I ended up having a 2hr nap! We did have a nice walk with the dogs in the woods and then yesterday I went to clean for my grandad. We tackled a large wardrobe in the spare room that had a lot of my nan's bits and bobs in. A lot of old photo albums which were lovely to see. Lots of bits of Christmas and birthday wrapping paper that she would keep, iron and reuse 🤣 and then knitting bits. Photo albums were arranged nicely on the shelving, bits of wrapping paper were recycled and knitting bits I have put together to give to one of my customers who knits things for charity. I did find buried a lovely box with 4x cups in that different types of tits on (birds not the other sort, get your minds out the gutter! 🤣) which my grandad said i could have, so they are now in our kitchen.
Right best get going! Have a good day all x
The tit cups and the dogs in the woods 🙂

Delurking not just because those mugs are beautiful but because my grandmother used to save wrapping paper and iron it. You've really made me smile with that memory😀
Made 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 !!1 -
gorgeous shape and pics on the mugs, they'll be a pleasure to drink from
Gorgeous puppers xxx

My Gran also used to whisk the wrapping paper away - until Grandad stopped her doing it 🤣 She never stopped cutting out images from Christmas cards with pinking shears to use as gift tags though 🩷

Erm… sorry, am I being too MSE when I save wrapping paper (albeit I do usually only use it for the present-stealing game, having got a stash of fabric wrapping bags)? And I definitely chop up my Christmas cards for tags - why wouldn't you?!
Lovely tits Jessy 🤣 (someone had to say it!)

@Watty1 Aww I'm glad that it brought back a happy memory. I wonder if it's something they were taught at school 🤣
@daisy_1571 thank you x
@South_coast haha brilliant! I do cut out pictures on Christmas cards with my crinkle scissors for gift tags though. Funnily enough, something my nan taught me to do 🤣
@themadvix Haha, sorry vix! I do cut pictures out of cards with my crinkle scissors and I do save gift bags, but i don't do the wrapping paper one. Maybe I should start in honour of my nan! P.S. Appreciate the compliment regarding my tits 🤣
