How are you filling your days During this tough time
Apart from licking my windows or pulling my hair out

Today I decided to clean my shed out
Just for 30 minutes a day and worked out
If I do this everyday during lockdown
It will only take me about 5 years :-D :-D :-D

Seriously What are you all doing to stay sane :-) :-) :-)

Family tree, craft,gardening and loads of cleaning :-D :-D. Oh and nattering on the phone :-D

Making lists of all that I am going to do.

I love making lists ;-) :-D :-D

Still getting our shopping and prescriptions organized at the moment but we do try to do a little something between us every day

The marmalade is finally in the cupboard, we made some jam buns and pasties today, planted some seeds, readied the containers for the plants.

Just a bit together. I expect we will get it tidy for when the murder squad comes too.

LaGooner Sound's like your making yourself very busy

I sometimes make lists Allan Then I loose them ;-) ;-)

Sharon I know the feeling :-D :-D

Hi Joy :-D :-D

Cleaning the shed out sounds a good plan but it's still too cold for me.

I've got plenty of sewing and art projects to keep me occupied but I need to social distance from my arm chair first LOL
I need to make a path in the shed so I can get to the bench and clear it ready to get sowing some veg seeds.

Stay safe xx

I'm repainting the kitchen!
Well, I've painted the ceiling, and realised the whole room needs painting :-S

Fortunately (?) I have (had) the best part of 12 litres of white paint I bought last year, or the year before
It's matt - not the best for a kitchen, but it's Johnstone's, and I know it's washable, and gets a 'sheen' after a while (stairwell is painted with it)..
Anyway, I can always paint over it later on.

Hi Island
I have been doing some knitting
My Grand daughter now has 6 new Cardigans
When I can see her again
I so miss Her and Baby Satan

I started my Garden last week
By jet washing my paths and cutting the dead Plants down
and sewing a few seeds
I usually only do the Garden when my Disabled Butlers doing my box in
So its get done quite often at the minute ;-) ;-)

What a great idea Maggie
I have lots of paint stashed in the shed
One of my sons tenants was a painter and decorator
So when he moved I claimed it Theres was gallons and gallons
I normally give any new tenants a couple of gallons to start them off :-D :-D

Baby Satan must be a strapping lad by now Joy :-D

He is 14 now Island
He was only a month old When I cane on here
He is a really good lad
Very into Computers

We have little Nola too now She is 2 next month
My son got to 40 then decided he wanted a child
after avoiding them like the plague :-) :-)

I've been eating far too many chocolates.

My 3 children all gave me boxes of chocolates for Mothering Sunday.
The first couple of days, I limited myself to 2 a day, but since then... well !

I can resist most chocolates and do know that if I have too many, I might get a headache, but strangely, my favourites, Lindor don't have that effect.
I was given 2 boxes of Lindor this year.

I have done my garden, normally only have time to do 1 part but all done except 1 border. Been cleaning & sorting all kitchen cupboards, amazing how many out of dates I had, spices out of date for years, been ruthless in throwing out things I have'nt used in years. Got decorating to do.

I have actually been doing some gardening, in between eating chocolate.
Luckily our garden bin service is still continuing, at present, so I've been keen to get shrubs trimmed, beds weeded etc. while I can get rid of the waste.

Today's venture is into the cupboard below the kitchen sink. Daughter wanted to store some more of our things in there, but I might as well clean and wash out the cupboard first and hopefully find better space.

Gwen I think we all might get through this with a bigger waist line lol
I never eat chocolate But I did yesterday
Your garden will be lovely this year

Good luck with your cupboards Hillary
We have a rule in this house
Nobody opens a cupboard or a drawer with out wearing a hard hat :-D :-D

I strung a curtain wire from one aside to the other in my Cupboard under the sink
at the top and hang all my spray bottles from it saves lots of space

This is not a rumour

Stray has sorted her Mirror wardrobes out
and found things she didn't know were lost ;-) ;-) ;-)
