I have a pair of shoes that I got muddy a few weeks ago, and can never remember to clean them, I put others on instead!
Yes, Jude, as we were saying earlier, you do have a couple of things unfinished, but dont we all. Where does the time go?

Well done D L.

Now all my jobs in here have caught up with me as we found a carpet that will suit this morning, an offcut in a sale. OH wants to fit it on Saturday so this room has to be cleared. I have spent all afternoon so far shredding!!!! and I now have 7 surplus two ring binders because I have condensed my FH stuff into 4 larger lever arch files. Heavy but keeps it all together.

To get my dad doing I cut the oranges in half and he juices them in the food processor,Then I change the blades and he slices them in the food processor.

I have to do the boiling up but he dissolves the sugar before I do the final boil.Then I sterilize the jars and he pots it in the sink.

What with him having one working hand and being in a wheelchair the mess is unbelievable.Keeps him off the streets for a bit though.

How good do you feel with your clutter clearing?
New carpets smell fresh and feel just georgous to walk on barefooted, if I can remember that far back.
It is quite a while since we had them. We desperately need a new bedroom carpet but just the thought of moving things out are enough to put me off.

Because you don't have any distractions DizzyL.

Kandj Yes it feels good and I went through another cupboard this morning because our broadband was down for a couple of hours. So, another charity bag full. This carpet is a hard wearing one so not soft and fluffy underfoot. it needs to be hard wearing because it is my craft/computer room and my chair is on wheels which wears the carpet after a while.

Still procastianting! But at least the ironing is up to date - after 2 weeks of putting it off!

AnninGos - have you though about a plastic mat to put under your wheelie chair? If you have a large office equipment store near you, they may have one. Father had one from Rym*ns, but the sort of thing he bought is here

(it kept his carpet free of spilt food and other things as well!!)
