I've ordered my private prescription, chased my end of January wages again, burnt some stuff in the burn bin outside, and unblocked the kitchen sink. 🙄

I woke up early today and decided to blitz clean and organise my bathroom under sink cabinet as it has been really bugging me every time I look in there. I took it all out and cleaned the drawers, threw away a couple of my husband's things that he hasn't used in ages and put everything back. It looks so much better and now I can actually see what I have and what has run out.
I was on a roll so I cleaned out the top part of my freezer. I did the bottom parts of the freezer yesterday.
My cleaner is coming today so I need to have a shower and get ready. I am still ending up tidying up and moving things around before she gets here (!) so I started making up another donation bag to take to the charity shop today.
While she is cleaning upstairs I will clean out the fridge as that needs doing and see what we have and then I am going to write out a meal plan for the next few days. Then I need to order the groceries. Then I have two classes this afternoon. It looks like a nice sunny day here today.😀

Cut down the cardboard mountain so that it is not taking up so much space and it can be used in the garden.

Emptied and wiped out my car in the hopes the car cleaner man doesn't take one look and walk away!!

I am quite pleased with that as we have been away every weekend in April.
