Now could be good time to........

I cleaned my oven today, looks so lovely I really do not want to use it.

Update our wills ( black humour)
Get up to date with photos in albums
Clean the conservatory windows inside and out
Buy more plants online
Read a lot more than normal

I know that feeling, rosenoir

I have attacked my closet and a bimbag full o clothes are ready to be taken, cleaned the lights in my lounge and the crystals are like sparkling diamonds - tomorrow I might tackle the light in the dining room . What else - hmmmm

We've sorted out the shed and now can't fit anything into our green bin.

Well, I thought they were both frozen soup ....

DH 's was a lovely bowl of leek and potato
Mine was home-made tomato sauce for spaghetti bolognaise and rather strong! I only managed half and that was the last tub from last year's tomatoes.

Labels don't stay stuck in the freezer

Ha ha Callistemon you have fallen victim to a UFO!

Read all the books I haven’t yet got around to

Knit without guilt

Clean my under sink cupboard

I have already sorted out my wardrobe and desk and very nice they look too!

All the charity shops have closed in our town. Where are you taking the unwanted stuff?
Our bin collections too. Only landfill is being collected. Recycling has stopped. That seems such a shame.

As for these huge supermarket shops. Much of the stuff is packaging.

Luckily we have a refillery locally and get our milk in glass returnable bottles. Long may it last.
It seems like civilisation is rapidly breaking down.

Sort out DH's office, so much redundant paperwork
Decorate the hall, maybe
General sorting out of drawers and cupboards

Grammmaretto the local pre school left bags a while ago, (this happens fairly frequently) under the "Bags 2 School" thing.

They were planning to collect around 21stApril, don't know if they still will, but bags are filled and ready!

I, too need to clean the light fittings. Who knows, we might be able to see properly.

I've already cleared out cupboards and freezers and made an inventory. I was telling 21yr old DD1 today about it on the phone and DD messaged back later to say, 'Cheers, Mum. She doing ours and making a jolly good job of it!'

Having two adult children at home has its benefits apparently. The other one is painting the garden fence!

DD is building planters out of scrap wood for DGS who is minding the family home in Gosport with his girlfriend.

Everything else will go on as normal because we always have a lot to do outside.

We did the store cupboard and big freezer a couple of days ago and have stuck the lists on the cupboard door. We found a couple of gems, tin lentils and some turkey breasts. No UFOs though.

When we have run out of things to do, DHs shed might need a sort out. It is so full of stuff there is barely room for him to stand .

DH has always hated getting rid of "really good stuff" thinking some day he might need it. This time has become his Waterloo. We have re-organized the pantry and kitchen. Today he sheepishly suggested we might do bathroom cabinets! Eureka.

Reminds me of when mum did mashed potatoes, vegetables and gravy, cut into the steak and kidney pie ( label had fallen off in the freezer ) it was apple!

So, vegetarian dinner but an unexpected bonus as we had a lovely pudding,

How do you cope with the feeling of: why bother? no-one will notice. Procrastination big time.

I have so many projects I could do but being stuck in doesn't motivate me at all.
Hey ho. I will get used to it but I can't say this house arrest suits me one bit.

Grammaretto ditto
I need to have a focus because I am a procrastinater

DD2 is the same, doing homework and coursework at the last minute but always getting good results.
One teacher described it as 'back against the wall'

Not that my results are that good!

I did all the ironing yesterday (1 1/2 baskets of it)whilst listening to music. I hoovered and washed the car today.

Well I have had a week of procrastination but tomorrow I must start various projects.
Extra cleaning
Sorting photos, paperwork etc
Continuing family history
Reading

When all this is over the charity shops will be inundated, as we realise how few shoes, clothes, scarves and handbags we actually need.

Spring cleaning, washing curtains in fact anything which means I don't have to go and help my husband with the garden.

I think the days to come will be sunny but blowy, so I may wash curtains, cushion covers , blankets etc. Anything that doesn’t often get washed.

Pressure washing my decking, did the patio last week and it's making the decking look bad. Also been cleaning up the pond and pruning a few trees and shrubs that think they're trees We've cleaned up the outside of the conservatory and about half of the inside, problem is it gets used as a bit of a dumping ground in the winter because it's easier than taking things back to the shed when it's raining.

I will absolutely have to get back to writing. No excuses. No pleading that I have to go to one of my groups and classes. I received an unexpected and very nice royalty payment last week which reminded me that it could be worth my while getting stuck back in.
