Me on a Monday - 9 October 2023
Another busy week over and done with.
It was a week where my birthday just kept on giving. I had a lovely candle holder from a friend at work and afternoon tea with my lovely friend Miss D. We went out to Benty Farm tea rooms at Thurstaston and even the pouring rain couldn't put a dampener on it. We had to bring a box of goodies home as there was far to much to eat.
I was absolutely full of cold last week so there was only one gym session and one line dancing class.
There was also the loft clearing. We hired a skip and got rid of previous owners junk, and all the old lagging. Why there were odd pipes and bits of wood up there I will never know. It's now all ready for new insulation and boards. The boxes that have been there for the last six years, since we moved in, are now in the spare room and I have the lovely job of going through each one and getting rid of things we haven't looked at in all that time or didn't even remember we had!!
Deb at Deb's World said the other week about saying yes to things. So with that in mind we are off to the British Legion on Thursday to check out their indoor bowls.
Hope you all have a good week.
What a delicious afternoon tea. It is my favourite way to celebrate birthdays or anything really. YOu have kind friends. I image many folks with an attic space think out of sight, out of mind. Yeah you going through the boxes from the attic with tough love. Yes & No, such simple words, big impact & so difficult to say - have fun at the British Legion.
ReplyDeleteSo far I've done the box of photos, which took far longer than I thought.
DeleteWhat a fun birthday week. It sounds like you have been busy. We haven't had any rain, but it is supposed to snow this week. Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteOh no!! I love to look at snow falling, but don't like driving in it. You must have snow for quite a few months every year.
DeleteOh what a lovely afternoon tea! How annoying that the previous owners of your house left the loft cluttered with stuff they didn't want to get rid of themselves. Now, those items that have been in boxes for six years - big decisions ahead, if you haven't needed them in that time, do you need to keep them now ;-) I'm dreadful at getting rid of things that I've kept for emotional reasons so I'd be no help for you!
ReplyDeleteI've only done one box so far. It's going to be a very slow process!!
