Mental blocks in getting started can be a real challenge, so well done @dND
Ironing??!!!!! Not a word I tend to recognise @Florenceem haha
Well, I am now on leave for 2 weeks. I got all my projects to where they needed to be, with time to spare. But then I had to write handover emails for various people about things, which always takes longer than you think.
I have fewer excuses now for procrastinating … got 4 days before going to down mum's for a week, and then 4 days after I get back. It will soon go.

Another decent day here. Woke to a lovely cool day, it had been raining but stopped by about 0930.
Nice man came to collect and pay for items listed on our local site, happy and grateful.
2 boxes of books collected.
Found the chargers to 2 heavy dangerous looking tools that DH said can go.
photographed and listed more on eBay and local site.Woken at 0515 by terrific noise, turned out to be my grandfathers photo falling off the wall. Bad thing: the glass and frame are shattered. Good thing: I saw the back of the very old photo for the first time and it has names on!! I THINK it is my great aunts wedding and my grandfather is her brother in law, her being my Nannie’s sister. Must get the magnifier out to see if I can identify others. DH cleaned all the glass up as I walk around the house unshod, there was copious amounts of 🤬🤬🤬🤬swearing, bless him, well it was just after 0500!!
Dinner was same as yesterday with some cooked today extra veggies.
Thank you @Mrs_Salad_Dodger for medals, goodness me DH will soon have a chest full!
We are not decluttering over the weekend. DH needs to rest his back and I need to get a lot listed on selling sites and into a proper pile.

Floor plans for the loft conversion have arrived. The bedroom where the dormer will be is marginally smaller than the corresponding bedroom beneath but I can’t get my head around the size of the second bedroom. I feel bamboo canes and tape measures as needed.
Dsis has added some bits to the Vinted pile so I shall least those tomorrow before the shed gets tidied (stuff has been bunged since the rain came) and the garden bed gets dug over.
