    Love the summer house.

    Keep waking early and feeling exhausted by teatime. I shouldn't be so tired as I'm not working but doing quite a few things I think perhaps to avoid having to declutter or clean all day. History group this morning and tai chi tonight.

    I took back some boots, bought earlier this year but not worn, wore for 10 minutes at home today and realised a fault with the sole. V rude manager in probably our best known retailer blamed their staff several times and then told me I had to ring head office to get the price when I bought them although I had the order and date etc in an email. Head Office said manager could have called and the manager was rude again when I went back and again blamed their staff. She then said they'd never been at the price the head office said as she looked it up on her till ( despite saying she couldn'tdo this) . I questioned why i'd needed to call the head office if she could look up the price and esp.as she then didn't believe the head office or me. Anyway got money back. Apologies for the moan!

    3 toiletries out , one a hair oil kept leaking over the tray i try and keep make etc on and still leaked despitr putting the lid on carefully.

    Item sole and packaged @Dizzycap i remember you having stacks of parcels.

    I'm glad to sell the odd item as it gets rid of my hoard of packaging and then I feel i can also release more to cs. T

    bedside tables to go to ca on sat as they'll get more for them than me.

    10.small.pieces of wood out and wombled by someone I think meant to be drawer dividers for furniture I brought back from my dad's but I spent hours trying to slot them together, including dd1 and cousin's help and finally decided my dad and never finished sawing all the slots! Some papers out too.

    Mrs SD , my hand has recovered well thank you but after doing all my ironing carried it past the kitchen and thought I'd put a pot of yogurt away at the same time. Dropped it , top came off the pot so had to clear fridge door, floor and luckily only 1 shirt to be rewashed and ironed 😀
