Autumnal Achieving

PennysIntoPounds

Fab about the shelves @C_J, well done for being open to the opportunity!

Great elderberry progress @leftatthetrafficlights and solid aim for the week

I have not achieved much today having been out for a mate's birthday do, but we have pals coming round tomorrow early afternoon so will try to absolutely smash the rest of the cleaning in the morning, and hopefully get some half decent steps in before they arrive too

Dem holes are getting bigger….garden is looking good generally, and I am trying to anticpate autumn rather than winter. I have saved a load of sweet pea seeds and my basil is starting to flower, so I'll harvest the seeds from that too.

Paperwork still in a heap but when the sun is out, I must play!

Still unable to sustain a single rotation of the hoop through my own effort.

Oooooo we made the "front page".

Yesterday I paired up some socks. The drawer of odd socks had been driving me mad for at least a month.

I've sickled some weeds. That, and cleaning the coops, might be the only useful thing I do today.

I'm away twice with work this coming week and then I think I need to make a decent list or agree one or two things to focus on for a while. Or both. I was making such good progress in the first half of the year.

Good thinking @Rosa_Damascena I might let the last few flowers on my sweet peas go to seed now

One of my goals was to cut back things so I could see the garden better, going through the autumn and into winter. Did a lot of lifting the crown of the contorted Hazel this morning and cut back and pulled a lot of marjoram which is everywhere here!

Also dead headed, but that’s rather more fun than work 😉

Lovely garden work @Rosa_Damascena. Hope you're not attempting hooping outdoors, you'll squidge all your plants when it falls off 😁

Fame again @Rhyddid2026 🥂😂 Sickling weeds and cleaning coops sounds very productive. I am disproportionately pleased that your odd socks drawer has been sorted

Super productive @KajiKita well done, so nice getting tasks done that you know your future self will be chuffed with

Nothing brilliant from me today but steps and cleaning progress made, and I bothered to do a very boring 20 minute survey- money and task doing all adds up!

not sure if this makes me weird but I love pairing odd socks. I have even been known to do DD’s while she is overseas

Sold the ancient under counter fridge.

Did a lot of weeding in the veg plot - one garden waste bin is now full. Need to fill the other one tomorrow, but may do some hacking back at the front to fill it with bulky stuff quickly.

Wild plums picked and now stewing. Blackberries picked and in the fridge (should probably freeze them).

Verbena bonariensis given to me by a neighbour planted. Patio and new beds deadheaded (and seeds scattered). Need to weed still.

Tax return data emailed to accountants, at last! Thank you for the motivation.

I have been feeling ropey the past few days since I got back from Brighton so I muse have picked up a bug. I decided not to go to the cafe to meet people today and just rest at home. I have done a load of laundry and changed the bed covers as I was sweating all night. I have sprayed the bed, the curtains and our clothes in the wardrobes with fabric refresher.

I decided to sort out my underwear drawer and arrange it all into clear boxes. That has been annoying me for weeks!

I had clothes hanging up in the spare bedroom that I need to try on before Ibiza and that was annoying me so I have put them all away in the wardrobe. I'm going back to Brighton this weekend so I will sort out what I'm taking to Ibiza when I get back. I went around the house and cleared as much surface clutter as I can into drawers so I can just go round with a duster.

I won two prizes on the raffle a the charity event on Saturday night so she is coming round to drop them off. I won two prizes at the other charity event I went to the week earlier too.😁

Bit more cleaning done.

Also bravely parted ways with a loyal bra but had to accept that if some of your boob is hanging out of the front lace, it might have had its fair amount of wear
