Hello!

New thread for when we are ready.

Happy New Year, Happy New Thread

Whether you want to do one extra thing a day while the kettle boils or a list helps with a kick up the bum to Get Things Done - all welcome.

Morning all.

It has been really cold @RunningKatie. We have had sunshine but the wind is chilly.

Productive day yesterday. Did the lights over the island unit. Finally! Took me ten minutes. And our cleaner was in but she couldn’t do all she normally does so she helped me wash down the kitchen cupboards. Quicker with both of us and it’s definitely easier while chatting!

Hall, stairs and landing still being painted. We have a scaffolding platform in the hall currently. The upper parts of the walls are done. Painter is hoping to be finished by end of tomorrow. Light fitting was due to go up today as the platform is here but that’s now tomorrow.

I was supposed to go to the gym yesterday but I got trapped upstairs as the platform was at the bottom of the stairs and I hadn’t the heart to make the painter get down and move it as I could get past. So I dusted and did a bit of tidying in my bedroom.

I am also planting out the new plants in the gravel garden. Doing a section every day. Should finish today or tomorrow.

Have a good day all.

Have had a cold for a few days so not set myself a project- day to day living has been enough.

But I made it out to the garden centre yesterday and bought some pelagoniums for some pots. So I need to plant those today. I've also got a couple of loads of laundry to do and need to take the bags, which I felt too unwell to deal with earlier in the week, to charity.

Have a good day everyone 🌞

@WideOpenBeaches - I try to avoid Amazon too but get sucked back in. It’s just so convenient. And I tried an actual shop and bought some anti moth stuff in Robert Dyas but they didn’t really do much.

And well done on your DA volunteer work. Hats off to you. There is such a need sadly.

Hope you feel better @BerfyTigot. I need a garden centre trip too. Trying to hold off until I’ve planted all the plants I have. Then I need some annuals to fill in gaps this year while things grow a bit. Going for simple and just going to buy lots of white cosmos.

Laundry duties here too. And need to change DS’s bed and clean his bathroom as he’s at work in London today so I can get into his room.

Today’s extra task is to finish the kitchen cupboards. Just one and a half to go.

Hope you’re on the mend soon @BerfyTigot I usually find myself turning a slight corner on day 3-4 with a cold. It also - to me - seems deeply unfair that as the sun comes out, a blinking cold arrives… 😡

I'm mid way through recipe sorting. Got distracted and went and bought 6 hostas that were on offer in local nursery (tip off by friend) and have planted them out under my Acer tree.

Hello everyone, hope you’re all good. I’m doing alright, I’m feeling a bit more positive about life at the moment. I am keeping busy and the better weather and longer days are helping a little too.

I constantly feel overwhelmed but I realise that I actually thrive on that feeling. I don’t beat myself up when things don’t get done so there’s no harm in it really. I just need to get better at prioritising things and not leaving everything to the last minute because that stresses me out.

Yesterday I had such a productive day - sorted home insurance, got my car MOTed, sprayed the weeds in the garden and wrote a list for the front garden of things I need to do. I made a doctor's appointment, got a keysafe fitted and messaged the family group chat with the code. I feel like I could take on the world now!

Day off work today so hoping to get lots done. Main jobs of the day are to tax my car and strip the bed. It’s a beautiful day so I’ll get it outside which makes me happier than it should. This afternoon I’m going out with my mum and dad. We have an appointment to pre arrange our funerals (we always have the best days out!!). Hopefully none of us will need to use them anytime soon but it’s going to happen one day and we would all rather sort it ourselves than leave it to each other. It’s been on my list for a while so I’ll be glad to get that ticked off.

Happy Friday everyone ❤

Beaches, just about ready for sleep now, but be here in about 8 hours. Iced or hot?
😊
