Not going out!

 Darren messaged us this morning saying the drive was bad and to be careful. The drive had become an ice path so going out was off the cards.

I have been plodding on today, I had an expensive unit next to my fridge, it was supposed to be a bin cupboard but it never really held the bags properly. I emptied it as it was a great space for putting things out of the way. I had to move another cabinet out of the way to get it out. Hopefully I will find someone who would like it and is empty and clean now. There was a lot of stuff fallen down the back as I used to pile things on top of it as well!
Then I set about emptying a couple of cardboard storage units. One I had used for sketching stuff and the other for sewing stuff. They are both empty now and ready for new owners.
Inthinned out the calligraphy stuff and left a couple of pens out as Tina wants a decimation written for a book. So onward and upward now. We have so much charity shop stuff, recycling and lots of items to be collected, so the house gets more and more chaotic!

  1. Sounds like Darren has the right idea. Go to work and leave you two to sort everything out 😊 The drive does look quite treacherous and the best place to be is definitely inside.
    I do like that bin unit. It’s a shame it didn’t do the job you bought it for. I’m sure someone will snap that up. The other drawers are lovely too. It’s a real shame you have to get rid of them all. I hope you manage to sell some things as they are really good quality. Seems a shame to just give it all away ☹️
    A few charity shop and tip runs once the Rev is healthy enough. I hope you’re resting a bit this evening.

  2. It is sad in a way to be getting rid of things but it is good that I have thinned things out. I think the lady I the shop next door may buy a couple of bits, but no one is venturing out unnecessarily at the moment, and more bad weather on the way.
    May rooms are becoming a bit impersonal now!
