Thursday

My only must do task for the day is to speak to the person I'd like to do the decorating, to ask for a price and also to see if he can fit me in for the end of September/beginning of October. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's all going to work out!

Apart from that I'm meeting L for lunch at the Toby Carvery and will try to fit in a bit of clothes shopping either before or after the meal. I also need to pop into the garden centre to get a small bag of compost so I can re-pot a couple of houseplants.

I did a load of laundry yesterday and left it on the drying rack overnight, so I suppose at some stage I will have to summon up the energy to do some ironing and then put it all away. I changed over the bedrooms as planned, the only difference was that I left the hanging clothes in the main bedroom cupboard as they will be easy to move once the work starts. I sorted through the rest of my clothes as I was moving them and have put some aside for the next kerbside charity collection. Most of what's going is too big to wear now, but I also decided that I just wasn't ever going to wear some things again. I've probably reduced the amount of clothes by about a third. 

Today, had she lived, it would have been my Mum's 100th birthday.
