Well said, Oopsie- I even emptied his case and laundered contentsGive him a cobweb broom and tell him to do his worst with it!
Give him a bag for the other and then walk out of the door and tell him you’ll be back when you’ve attended the good housekeeping lecture at the local frocking pub!
Frocking Cheek!

Jude agrees btw!
I don’t know about that... Horatio says you spoil him something rotten....Would he empty your case and wash your laundry? Until that happy day I would not be doing that again!
( you see this is why I’m single…I don’t do enough ( or indeed ANYTHING) for them)
Utter balderdash! I do nothing for Horatio apart from ask him to fetch and carry. Well…fetch really.I don’t know about that... Horatio says you spoil him something rotten....
BEFORE you start....did I read that correctly? Did I.... couldn’t have - that’s the result of a day’s work of hard graft.....gorgeous collection... swooning here....Puff…puff…puff…wheeze…puff…
I’m in the dressing room at the start of our massive sort out and declutter…
Heres the view from my recovery position before we start

…and here’s my old Tibi jumper which had fallen off its hanger so it’s now needing an iron - Tch…
Yes! I’m the same - I loathe to throw anything out so it’s a bittersweet process. I know that it’s a great item but the length is off so it has to be ‘binned’ aka donated. Sometimes, it’s a gorgeous item but I just know that it’s flawed and won’t be worn.No - getting up the stairs (for me) is the hard graft…and when I go to the top floor ( which we did) I need breathing apparatus! 🫣

We sorted loads out today and it’s such a good feeling. 2 parts of the wardrobes are all nice and hanging in color co-ordinated rows. We sorted loads of stuff out for the empty boxes in the attic which we euphemistically call the rag bags. We do a big sort out just before summer every year. I really enjoy the process and we have a really good laugh when we do it so it’s a lovely process ( for me
Oh that is SO annoying - I would be livid. Three deliveries in one day ..what are the chances? And all without drop-off when you were right there.... aaarrrrgh!So we completed phase 2 of my dressing room today and now only have a little tiny bit left to do tomorrow and then Emily is Spring / Summer cleaning it all . I have now thrown quite a bit out and the rest is being rag-bagged tomorrow.
My son and a pal of his have come to help with the weeds and external painting respectively. They are back tomorrow when FINALLY my window boxes are being planted. I could not get the plants I wanted so have taken what my son could get from our growers. I was in garden trying to help and missed 3 deliveries because the delivery men did not come to the electric gates where they would have seen us! Sooo infuriating! One of the deliveries were for Teddy and I am sooo disappointed . No hint of when they will try again. I hope they all try again tomorrow when there will be a note on the front door politely asking them to look in the garden before taking my parcels back!
Two of the parcels were new pyjamas and candles and I was really looking forward to getting them. Tch - flopping delivery people!

Honestly so in awe of you both - if you knew how appalling I am at everything to do with gardening, you would never bother with me again. My poor dad tried to teach me but - as per - wouldn’t listen. I wish I had. I wish a lot, mind you.A housekeeper is #goals!
Oh to have someone to help me declutter.
So frustrating to miss deliveries. My deliveries seem to be lobbed near the front door where they have their photo taken!
I was still planting bedding at the weekend. Two unexpected weeks "away" scuppered my plans and everything just sat in the greenhouse until I got out.
Did I mention that I've recruited two local lads to do some digging for me? They put a flyer through the door a while ago as they are looking to earn some holiday cash. I am sure they will do a good job, with direction, and I can get my borders planted soon. I did have some help this morning from a friend. We have constructed a brick edged gravel area for my wooden bench... well, I was all weak and feeble, so I supervised!
I absolutely love the idea of you getting your colouring pens out to draw your outfits Dear Havisham! Flopping genius idea. You can catalogue everything this way. Brilliant!Honestly so in awe of you both - if you knew how appalling I am at everything to do with gardening, you would never bother with me again.

Well, girls - and @Miscanthus will laugh because she is the artist - I am loving my sketch book antics! - if it brings you joy, what of it? I’m doing my little categories - a total eejit but what of it? Let’s do what we do and have fun. Love you guys
You are so kind - I’m loving my little silliness - a joy!Erm - dearest Havisham - you have a back problem - WHY don’t you delegate ALL gardening to Himself? He can put his cobweb brush to good use…

Well, I won’t be selling them with the success of our Missy Canthus, @Oops but they serve a purpose and I highly recommend doing this - I’m sketching outfit ideas I didn’t even know I had - it’s amazing what you can come up with! Also, it’s a bit of fun as you say!Wow! Wow! Goodness me! Wow! I flopping love your sketches! They actually do look like you! Utterly stunning!Such fun too!
