@Yorkie1 I definitely suggest another cake once you have custard.
@florenceem a deadline is good, but amazed how much you clear out.
Off for an early night and a reminder to eat healthier as not been cooking much
Work notebook out earlier and now 5 lots of paper . I have half the dining table clear and its much smaller than my old one and sit with my laptop there so not bad - often several layers before you can see any of it.
Unsubscribed from a couple of things, and also found DD2's laptop so will see about getting it mended before she's back.
Mrs SD, forgot to say I followed your suggestion of a ribbon on the bureau key - it now has a very smart royal purple ribbon! Great idea.
Decluttered an audio book back to the library (not sure I'll count) but been had it on loan 2 months!
Thinking of bundling things together for sale perhaps. And trying to make myself do one last area, so cleared small sideboard - I did line the drawers and 75% of things moved to a better home but some things still there (count this as decluttering excess wallpaper). Also random length of rubber from desk drawer - clearly belongs to something but no ideas what so out.

Felt very cold today so hope everyone stays warm. Glad I kept some jumpers to hand.

Brrrr. Had to put yesterday’s cardigan in laundry as I got a tiny pit of paint on the cuff, I washed it out straight away but it’s now in the wash. Today I got a thick T shirt out thinking it would be enough, oh how wrong I was. I washed it out but Was actually shivering after doing the chores this morning.
Decluttered half a loaf out the freezer for toast as that’s all I can eat today - having another usual tummy trouble day.
Finished painting little unit. Very pleased and colour is a perfect match.
Decided that I wanted to put something like Perspex on the top of the bedside drawers but don’t have any. I do however have the covers off a notepad I just finished. They are a thickish plastic and do the job superbly at no cost= win win.
Scanned and filed all paperwork that has come this week, now in the shredder bin.Friend brought back a beautiful bird decoration for another wall in the yard, very grateful.

Second interview of the week yesterday. Very interesting contrasting interview styles between people and organisations.
One of my colleagues had an interview the day before for one of the available roles I was interviewing today.
We had an excellent debrief yesterday afternoon.

Evening all xxx
It's been coldish here today and the jumpers are back out for a few days until the heatwave supposedly, middle of next week 🙄.
Crazy here as always with the usual HH bin decluttering & cleaning, 2 loads of washing pegged out on the washing lines and dried, HH wheelie bin decluttered and put back in it's rightful place, and a quick decluttered appointment at the Vet for babyface for her usual monthly free pamper 😂 followed with a crazy fruitloop run around in an open field for half an hour which she hasn't been able to do for several months, so someone is feeling much better 🤗. I sorted out some paperwork and printed up a few things this afternoon that I need to put in my files, so all up to date with that lot - hooray! I've also decluttered numerous emails in bulk and cleaned and updated my laptop, iPad, phone; and apps, so I've been on a tech roll 😂, and we even managed to clutter up on 20 minutes of much needed sun, sitting and relaxing; me with a mug of coffee, naturally, on the swing chair 🤗🤩.
I've just put all the clean washing away, cleaned the sink, and bleached the loo ready for bed once I've cluttered up on my last mug of delicious coffee 😂. Babyface has taken a fancy to one of her large mega comfy beds in the bedroom, so I have the whole bed to myself, at the moment 😆😅.
Someone just sent me this video and I can't stop laughing, so thought I would share it before I pop off…..
Pets Take Themselves to The Pet Shop - Talk about try before you buy! 😂🤣 Typical Daxie getting others to carry and push them around in a shopping trolly while they load it up with a bed, soft toys, and food 😂🤣 - Always the hound with a priority on finding the food first 😂🤣😅…..
Night night all, take care, & toodle pip for now xxxxxx
