Sigh.... I liked the old style declutter and health accountability combined threads better. Just easier to get it all done in one fell swoop, because often the decluttering involves exercise. Anyway....

Last night I watched Big Fish - Tim Burton film and made more fairies. Also did some walk/jog on the mini tramp. Not until I was out of breath, because the damned hip joints seized up. I hate rheumatoid arthritis.

This morning cleaned kitchen, boiled anya potatoes ready to saute tonight. Prepped pasta and garlic for Monday dinner. Later will prep other veg for next 2 evening meals. Listening to Nina Simone this morning. That woman ROCKS or JAZZES or something.   She is fantabulous!   Learning to perform See Line Woman and Feeling Good among others while I type this.

Today I will strip as much Fablon as I can off the drawers from caravan that we brought home yesterday. As the sun is out, I will take them out to back garden and have a go at the sticky residue with mineral spirit. Wish we could have taken the whole unit out, but it is built in. So will have to go and work on the other bits in situe on another weekend.

Yesterday I ordered 20 metres of wonderful green fabric to recover the van cushions and make new curtains, as well as make padded bolsters to go around the over bed shelves so when we bang head into them, it won't hurt so much. the fabric


I will set up sewing machine in spare room today in preparation for the job. Will finish the ironing and do 1 or 2 loads of clothes. Also another round on the mini tramp this morning (I better hurry because it is already after 10am).

Tomorrow I have flexi day and will have first assessment appointment with the NHS Health Trainer. As I will be in town, will buy loads of white heavy cotton thread, some sewing machine needles (in case I break the 2 I have left) and sew-on velcro strip. I am not fiddling with zippers.

Must pick up Mothering Sunday cards for TSO's mom and my own Mom and my Aunt Dot (the other mother- my mom's twin) because I can't get Mother's Day cards at the right time for the US observance. Some nice blank cards for upcoming birthdays. Also a stop at Maplin to buy a special lead for charging caravan battery in the house. We have probably left it too late and the thing is unrevivable. Also a solar powered trickle charger for the van. So this means I will be walking all over town centre tomorrow. Better take walking canes just in case the hips freeze up on me.
