My (lovely โค๏ธ) lady GP today said 'aw Bless' three times.
Another sign of looking old, Doodle.

Just popping in with a quick message for Mamissimo from our dear friend Kaimoana. She cant see to post now but wants me to wish Spud happy birthday today.

Dear Kaimoana one of the most caring people I know. Do wish you could read our comments.

Happy birthday spud ๐ŸŽˆ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿจ

Thanks. Kaimoana and Doodle for being so thoughtful.

My eldest DGD will be 20 soon. ๐Ÿ˜ฏ How did that happen!

I phoned a house clearance company yesterday whose card I was given by the auction house ๐Ÿ˜Š . The boss is coming this afternoon.
I was assured that they are good and sensitive. They sell the best stuff, then it's to charity or recycling. Nothing to landfill.
It'll be pricy but after how many years of trying and failing to declutter, I think this is the best way forward.

I'll keep enough to fill a one bedroom flat. The rest can go. ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ๐Ÿ˜‰

It's cold and pouring down with rain ๐ŸŒง๏ธ here.
My DSis is still going to France camping despite dire warnings of heat and fires.
My French helpers are back in Brittany and say it's cooler than it was so hopefully DSis plans aren't as stupid as they sound.

I am rabbiting on. Sorry. ๐Ÿฐ ๐Ÿ‡

Oh gosh, Grammaretto.
Do take it easy with your 'letting go'.

I will try ixion to take it easy.... maybe enough for a 2 bed flat with a garage... and a garden ๐Ÿ˜‚

I'm actually going tomorrow to look at a 4 bed 3 bath house very nearby. I'm going with another neighbour who's offered to chum me and to have a nosey.

The do-er upper is still an option although I have decided to dismiss it as it would be a year and unknown expense to bring it up to a good standard.
