Happy Birthday Sox.
I don't know where time goes or perhaps it just takes me much longer to do things in my old age.
Frogs eaten today,finished scraping old paint off the bay window frame. Gave the dining table 2 coats of wax, painted 2 charity shop picture frames black, finished painting the dressing table black. Found 2 postcards to put in the frames. Threw out 4 dreadful paint brushes, so rubbish, not worth cleaning. Dyed two pairs of jeans and a corduroy shirt black. Other than that I have been fighting with some knitting wool which I know is expensive but it's a shocker to use, it splits all the time.
Had a good chat with the builder. Priorities have changed, he is going to put some drainage in the front garden, build a retaining wall and lay a patio up to the house. he is also bricking up a window in the bathroom and drilling a hole through the wall for the new toilet. The rest of the garden and sheds will have to wait a while.

Hi all, not posted for a couple of days, Saturday and Sunday was dealing with personal stuff I won't go into here but no decluttering done apart from a load of messages on my phone deleted. Today I have done 3 sessions of ironing, kitchen bin, bathroom bin and bedroom bin emptied and a bin bag of plastic trays given to my friend K who uses them for planting seeds etc. Tea out with ex colleagues which was nice.
Tomorrow I am back at the dentist for the first appointment to sort out the crown, fingers crossed it all goes ok 😁
Sorry I haven't yet caught up with all the posts so I will say hugs to anybody who would like one and head to bed.
138 - 140 ironing
141 kitchen bin
142 bedroom bin
143 bathroom bin
144 bag of plastic trays
145 phone messages
Take care everyone
