Today I have been in the back bedroom

 All day long.  I have emptied boxes out and disposed of a load of old ones that are no longer supporting contents securely.  Empty boxes that I had in the dining room from recent purchases have been recycled for this purpose.  I have the packing to do now, but that will have to wait until tomorrow I will be in the bedroom all day.  The back bedroom is the key to getting the rest of the house tidy as it is the storage room.  There are lots of items in other rooms that need to go in this room; therefore it is the key to the rest of the house being sorted.

A load of stuff I no longer want will be making its way to the charity shop tomorrow There are two big bags full ready to go.  The front garden is full of rubbish again and will be taken later on in the week to the tip!

I have also found 4 bags of preserving jars and 6 demijohns.  They are now downstairs in a big tub, ready for processing. I intend to clear the shed out on Tuesday and then once that is cleaned and stripped out a lot of jars are going in here.  Gardening equipment will also go in here. Trying to do this so that all the rubbish goes to the tip and the garden gets tidied up as well as the shed.

So it is going to be another long and full day tomorrow.  I am shattered as I have not stopped apart from having some tea.

A lot of old boxes have been ripped up as they were past their best.  I have more boxes down in the dining room, plus the poly tubs to fill.

It has more or less been constant rain today and we have had a couple of thunder storms today.  Looks as though we have  a lot of showers forecast for this week.  Friday and Saturday at the moment look dry.  We need the water.  The plants are loving it.

Plans for Monday

It is going to be a full on day in the back bedroom again.  Repacking boxes, unpacking boxes and sorting the boxes so that they are a better fit.  I will keep at it until late.  I must get the back of this room broken today if at all possible.

Plans for Tuesday

G is fishing on Tuesday in a match so I will be at home with the animals. 

I will go into town first thing and pick  up some bits from B & M. I need a couple of small waste bins for the little room and also the main bathroom.  I also need a couple of ironing baskets. I will nip into Sostrene Grene on the way back and also Waitrose and then come home; will walk in and walk back.  The trolley will go with me as there is no way that I will be able to carry much home.  

Once home I will then take a taxi to Home Bargains as there are a few plants there (or there were the other day when I went in).  If they have them on Tuesday hopefully a few will come home with me.  There are a few other bits that I am after from there as well. I want to pretty up the old Herb Garden outside the back door, kitchen window and bathroom window.  I have a shopping list on my phone for some of the items I am after. Paid for by some lottery winnings I have saved up. I am still after window boxes for the kitchen window and the bathroom window.  Fingers crossed will be able to afford them this month.

Catch you soon.
