Hello, Sweaty Betty checking in!
Another disturbed night - stormy and windy - but fell asleep about 3 am this time , and woke up at 6.30 am feeling like a new woman! Just shows it is the quality not quantity of sleep that counts!
Oh dear Bower so sorry about the injuries. A fall is always a shock to the system so agree with Zoo and others, pls take it steady 
[single malt for later]
Funnily enough Zoo I was thinking of trying squash muffins today too as I am a bit sick of the soup (which is delicious but I make it rather too frequently) and we have a glut of squashes, courtesy of our country neighbours. Ditto courgette cake! Good luck with appts/meetings today!
Good Lord Steg you are looking after the world and his wife, never mind growing a feisty bump! Hope someone is looking after you! 
Hope water ok now Foxes
Glad your day ended better than it started yesterday Cag it's always cheering to achieve a late run I find! 
Hope bank card reappears!
Cheery wing flaps to Toostressy and everyone else!
OK - so after a maudlin week - I am beginning to see a chink of progress. Things were so bad when I arrived home after the hols that I was terribly despondent. But after 3.5 days of plugging away slowing but solidly, I am starting to see the wood for the trees so that I can continue with the declutter proper.
Anyone else always forget that September is a bit of a right-off in terms of making proper progress because one is tied up with new school/back to work/getting house back in order after hols? It's like I never get going properly after Christmas until 1st Feb! Or maybe it is just me ... 
anyway ....
There are heaps and heaps of washing still to do (because dh has been travelling and hasn't had time to keep up) and more bed linen to come (still haven't entirely caught up with post-summer visitor glut)
But the kitchen is clean and tidy. All evidence of mouse has been obliterated and swabbed with Dettol and every single bit of food is sealed in plastic or plastic boxes. Traps and poison are producing good results! Still one big shelf of clutter to sort (but need to sort pantry downstairs first to free up space and then I will do that). Also need to renew and clean spice shelves before Christmas. Sort cutlery (need new sets). And sort area above fridge and buy new fridge/freezer.
The laundry is triaged and in neat piles waiting to be put in. The ironing is up to date (although I can't claim that I did that; the fortnightly ironing lady was a star this week!).
And all the laundry related things (and shoes and bags and BRC) that dh and dd had strung about the ground floor are waiting to be washed or have been put away upstairs. As have all the woollens that were washed and ironed over the summer.
And ppssttt don't tell anyone but I have secretly and guiltily sent 15 of dh's formal business suits and other formal attire off to the laundry banking on him not noticing.
The bathroom is ok.
My Barnet Fair has been chopped. I have re-started gynae appts - have been to one - and have another booked for early Oct. I have been to one residency meeting and know what to do re: next steps.
Have second mammogram booked (first one wasn't clear enough).
I have cooked and am in the process of cooking food for weekend.
DD has started decluttering one drawer of art cupboard downstairs. Still lots more to do but process has begun! Why hey!
The boudoir is my next task!
After all that (ie getting the basics back under control) I can continue the thorough jettisoning process so this house is ready to rent/sell/renovate whatever we decide post-Brexit.
2nd floor I am ignoring for the most part - it is cluttered/untidy - but clean. I will get there eventually.
A large part of the above achieved thanks, as ever, to this thread and the support it provides!
So ta very much everyone for putting up with my whinging (as ever) and for the encouragement 
Onwards!
