I pretty much stuck to my simple plans yesterday. I wrapped up warm and started sorting out the front. It looks civilised now, although there's weeds emerging round the edges of the paving and you can see loads of bulbs coming up which is nice. Some of the emerging leaves are pale from being under a mound of leaves but that will change soon enough.
I meant to take a few photos but forgot and, anyway, it was so gloomy, they wouldn't come out all that well anyway!
The back was really sore afterwards and I was a bit concerned but it's OK now so fingers crossed for circuits. I think I just need to keep moving and stretching now.
Then I came in, had lunch and did the ironing so that, also, is all done.
Earlier in the day, I gave the bathroom a good clean as I do every time I use the shower to wash my hair. It's an in-the-bath one with a zig-zag screen so, inevitably, the floor gets a bit wet and it seems the best opportunity to clean around everything as it all gets mopped up.
I think I forgot to say, I was a bit spendy a few days ago as Ray asked for the deposit for the trip to Carols at the RAH and I decided I may as well pay the lot and get it done. I won't have to shell out next November/December when I will inevitably be spending a bit more anyway.
Apart from that, it's all going well and I think I am going to call these months 'Needs Only Months' because I don't think low or no spend describes it very well - not to me anyway.
And by 'need', I do not mean 'I really NEED that in my life right now'!!!
Today I am going to circuits and will adapt as necessary - I have already told Lindsey and she's really understanding.
Then Alex is coming over for a roast dinner so I will be busy in the kitchen. Depending on when he goes, I might do a proper downstairs clean or I might just do the bits that show - I need to do one or the other as I have a friend over for coffee tomorrow morning and the carpet is a disgrace!

And that is that for today. Have a great Monday, one and all. Stay safe and keep warm. xx
I bet your garden looks so much better now that it's had a tidy up. I did the same on Saturday. Hope your back isn't too sore. I can highly recommend a good hot soak with some epsom salt
ReplyDeleteI haven't done anything in the garden this last week so you are way ahead of me, Joy. My back is playing up a bit so I don't want to risk aggravating it too much. Glad your visit to the dentist was positive and hope that the next stage goes well too. We had a spendy week as well. Tumble dryer and vacuum cleaner both gave up. I'm very happy with the new ones. Have a great week whatever you have planned x
