Ok it's time for folks to brace themselves for the most ridiculous, overdue task that has been tackled today - I sharpened my getting blunter and blunter eye liner - it's been annoying me for quite sometime and it took 3 twists in the sharpener and under a minute to complete including finding a sharpener and putting the sharpener back where it lives.  

Ha, that's the very definition of an OAT 😂 well done! 😂

Bravo @Blackcats
Make-up OATs are always tricky, I guess because it feels like there's no time to sort things when you're putting it on as you're inevitably doing so to go out

I should at some point go through my make-up and get rid of bits that haven't been worn for years, but as they're small items it's quite far down the list!
However, I probably don't need the box they're in which would free up a bit of space, hmm...

I've done overdue paperwork for my DM & paid extra for the postie to pick it up tomorrow

Maybe we could themed OAT days in the future - make up, herbs n spices, socks, paperwork, DIY or whatever.

I painted my gas cupboard finally. I can now put the ornaments and lamp back on it and put all the painting stuff away. 
I did not clean the coops because I decided to stay in my PJs all day. I'll do them tomorrow, I'm WFH. Yes, I will regret this decision tomorrow. 
I made a meal using up lots of veg. I made a kind of minced lamb and veg shepherds pie filling. I'm going to freeze it in portions and then I can decide when I use each portion how to finish it off/top it. I had it for tea and topped it with potato slices. I took a couple of risk but luckily they turned out ok. I used minced lamb, red and white onion, carrots, spinach...... cubes of celeriac (risk 1) and some cubed cooked beetroot (risk 2) that needed using up. I figured they're all root vegetables after all. I used another potato - this time from the store of large baking potatoes. 
I have started outlining my lecture notes. Literally a few bullet points but it's a start. I'm hoping they're all really curious and chatty and I can just fill the time answering their questions and discussing interesting things rather than rely on slides. I should probably do the boring slides to be on the safe side though.

I’ve done an OAT that has been looking at me for months! 

I have sewn up the bottom, front edge, seam of a down filled gilet. It took me longer to get the sewing box and thread tin in and out of the craft cupboard than to do the job. I am however, no longer, leaving a trail of fluff behind me, wherever I go! 😊💪👏

I went to a class last night and I couldn't get home with public transport or taxis and so I had to walk the 45 minute walk home in the cold. I was so annoyed as it isn't the first time it has happened around here. I decided not to do any more classes at night in that area as doesn't feel safe to me to be walking on my own in the dark.

That meant this morning I had some admin to do as I had to cancel my memberships to certain groups I joined. I also called up to say I hadn't had any response to the fire safety check. The woman on the phone said quite a few had made the same complaint to her so at least now that was sorted out and they can give me a date soon, hopefully. I can't believe it is gone midday already! I'm not even dressed or showered yet.

Typically, I have three more evening classes this week that I have already paid for. Two people have offered me a lift for two of them, but I might just have to miss the third class.

Anyway, I have booked myself a massage at the weekend as a treat. I'm going to wear my new necklace out tonight.

Could you book a taxi prior to the 3rd class so that you don't have to miss it?  Where I live it's almost a necessity to book in advance for evening taxis!

That might be what I will have to do if I want to go. 

beanielou

Yes, where I live I have to prebook taxis as well.

Two vinted listings, two more lined up.
Bravely decluttered some more chocolate panettone for breakfast
