I don’t know about you but you think the week is going to be just another week and then things all change again! Does that happen to you? So Youngest started his new job in February and it has not been as happy as he had hoped due to the people he was working with. Now I know that it is a case of just get on with it which he has but as there are only three of them working together and the two others have been shall we say not professional, he has been none too happy. Upshot of a long story is that he was speaking to his Mentor where he did his training and they have offered him a job with new training immediately and more money! He has therefore handed his notice in and going there next week. It is also very busy at Eldest & Partners with them helping out a relative for a few weeks, so we will be helping them out over the weekend with Little Man.
Work is busy which is great but tiring of course which we knew would happen after all the elections were finished. Of course we are trying to make sure that all the orders get delivered on time. Eldest is busy and then he was out yesterday on a long fire call so DH had to help out with work there. The weekend is going to be busy as always but with home jobs. The weather is supposed to be nice again so we are hoping to get inside and outside jobs done again! Because of the nice weather the garden is starting to come alive and that will also mean that we will need to mow the lawn too!
Miss Floof has her Spa Day on Friday and I also have a hair appointment too so we will both look better.
Last weekend we did some more decluttering and we are now getting into the swing of it. I spent a few hours shredding the old negatives, do you remember them? Well we had quite a lot and so decided the best way of getting rid of them was to shred them. We have also brought the memory boxes and stored things back from our storage unit and I will be going through them and sorting things out. I know there are some things which can go and other things just need sorting out and tidying. I was speaking to the Boys Godmother today and sadly her Dad has just passed away and they are now in the process of sorting things out at their home and for her Mom. She said it is a huge job as he never threw anything away and in fact when something went wrong he kept things like motors so they will all need to go to the scrap yard now!!! This is why I am on a mission to get our things sorted.
Sorting out a house after a death is daunting when they don’t throw anything away. I found my mother’s teaching contracts from the 1960s!!! I still have some papers to go through here, but 95% of them have been dealt with. I’ll try not to pass on such a mess to my kids, but the inclination runs deep!! Worked out for me a few years ago when I had the receipt for something that needed returning!! It also helped that I kept a specific file from my dad’s office, as a family member just recently turned up and asked if I still had it…I would have been legally right to have shredded it, but I kept it!!! But most stuff could have been moved out decades ago! Enjoy Little Man this weekend…should make getting jobs done!!
We haven’t cut our grass yet but it’s not far off. You will be having your spa day and I will be having my big boy surgery to remove my bits, Coco. Memory boxes are always hard to sort through and something getting rid of stuff is so hard.
