Winter Wonders

I've been reading along but not doing of late - but it's half term, so I have some energy. So far I have cleaned the kitchen cupboard fronts, cleaned the top of the extractor and f/f, cleared all 'shouldn't be in here' items from the kitchen (most have been dealt with as I went along, except for filing, which has been put in the filing tray in the office), cleaned 1 (large - used to be a set of patio doors) kitchen window (1 not-quite-as-large and 1 half door sized still left to do), planted out some aganpanthus (they were sprouting in their bag, so it was definitely overdue!) and sorted out my wardrobe (1 pr trainers, 1 pr trousers and 10 tops to CS, 3 tops to DD, 1 to the bin and a very large pile of clothes to list on V1nted) All unsure items have been tried on and a decision made - wardrobe is now much tidier!

I also cleaned the wm (gave it a good wipe out as well as running a hot cleanjng cycle) - including the grotty dispenser drawer.

I am getting half my house deep cleaned today. The other half is being done next week. I don’t know why it has taken me so long to organise this! I need to book a regular weekly cleaner once that is done.

I had to move the bed out of the room so they can deep clean the carpet. I thought I may as well put the bed covers into the laundry while I’m waiting for the cleaners to finish. I’m about to go and put it into the dryer.

I am going to Southend to drop off some donation bags and to go to Superdrug. We are going to go for lunch afterwards. I am going out tonight and I booked a hotel for the night.

One of my best mates is coming over this evening so will see I she wants any of the pile of clothing and toiletries I've put aside, will help motivate me for further sortings-outs if I can see more space!

Made a decision on furniture, bought and collected it. Have also put it together all in the space of 3 days and unheard of timeframe.

Am in awe @WelshmansDaughter 👏👏👏

Btw the first 'I' in my last post was written 'if'. Going to have to change my signature quote to 'there is no-one more egotistical than whoever programmed the autocorrect on my phone'. I shout at it every day to get narcissist therapy as it consistently thinks every word beginning with i means 'I'

Friend took some bits, got another friend coming round tomorrow so will give her a pile too.

Decluttered some candles to an olioer

Will check with Mr PIP first but think I've identified a couple of cupboard bits to be decluttered as we appear to have six bottles of balsamic vinegar

I have been avoiding this thread and very much ignoring my OATs but I am getting back on the wagon now.

House insurance sorted today (not due til 11th March - and I did everything connected to it as well. Downloaded the policy docs, emailed them to both me and Mr C, downloaded the app to get the rewards, and also stopped the old policy from automatically renewing. Feela good to have everything ticked off!

Bravo @Cheery_Daff that's all-rounder mse OAT-busting that is

WelshmansDaughter

Lol PiP it only took 6 weeks of thinking about it 🤣

Nowt wrong with pondering big purchases @WelshmansDaughter, you have absolutely smashed it deciding, buying, getting, and constructing 🥂

I am spending the rest of the evening looking at identical radiators to work out which ones to order 😐

I have listed 5 things on V1nted today - 1 has already sold and the others have all been favourites several times, so fingers crossed! 🤞
