Sunday 28th March – Day 87
Cold got worse today so I spent pretty much all day in bed with a box of tissue and watching Prime on the laptop while I left the kids to watch Netflix downstairs. Then ordered Fish and Chips in the evening as just didn’t have the energy to cook anything today.
Monday 29th March – Day 88
We decluttered the shed a few months back but realised we needed to be a bit more ruthless. Hubby had the day off work and as the sun was shining he decided to tackle it again. I was feeling slightly better so helped him….plus I didn’t want him throwing away anything I needed. Came across some old photos which brought back lots of memories.
Tuesday 30th March – Day 89
The sun was shining so I was on a mission to clean the windows. Took the net curtains down and washed them all and then got the girls to help clean the windows. Did want to go for a walk but with the weather so nice I knew the parks etc would be packed and I don’t want to mix with too many people while pregnant and while not having had the vaccine.
Wednesday 31st March – Day 90
Dad had a hospital appointment and as it was with the liver consultant I had to go with him. However when we got there the receptionists realised he had been sent the wrong letter and it was a telephone consultation….the consultant was working from home! So headed back to the car and the consultant rang on my mobile. Liver is stable based on the blood tests he had last week so that is a relief. I saw the flowers that I gave mum on mothers day and they have bloomed nicely.
Thursday 1st April – Day 91
Hubby decided to take today off work too to sort out the conservatory. It had been turned into a bit of a dumping ground. I had ordered a stand for the TV as it was on the table and we couldn’t use the table to eat. It had arrived last night to today we put it together. We hadn’t been using the table to eat as the cat food and cat litter had been in there but now that those things aren’t there we decided it was time to use the room properly. While he was home all my parcels arrived ! Including the charity dates I had ordered for Ramadan.
Friday 2nd April – Day 92
Another day of decluttering. Started on Bee’s room today and went through her clothes. Got her to try on all her dresses and most didn’t fit anymore so put them aside to give to a friend who has a daughter a few years younger than Bee, as a lot of them have only been worn a few times. Then my back ached a bit so rested up before cooking and then getting a blog post done on a book I had been sent: In my Mosque.
Saturday 3rd April – Day 92
A chilled out day. I haven’t fully recovered from the cold – every morning I end up waking up feeling rough but as the day goes on I do feel better. Decided to just chill and not do much. Just generally feeling fed up as the cold messed with my sugar levels a bit and sick of not being able to eat what I want. Think hubby realised I was feeling a bit fed up as he got me an Orchid plant as he knows I love them. Our luxury Chocolate Ramadan calendar also arrived for the girls – can’t wait to try the chocolates and sweets! Only 9 days till Ramadan!
I am glad you are feeling a bit better and have been able to get stuff done.
It’s amazing what you can fit into a garden shed. I don’t know half of what’s in ours. Good on the girls helping with the cleaning.

I was surprised at some of the things that came out of the shed!
I’ve been decluttering too. Totally unplanned, then N got into tidying mode too. Hopefully you got to enjoy some of the nice weather, and are feeling a lot better now.
Thank you am much better now
Aww, dates! I love dates. I fill them with some (vegan) chocolate cream, with pistachio butter or hazelnut butter. Tahin pekmez is also fab as a filling, you might know about it, it’s made with grape molasses and tahini. I could eat dozens of dates filled like this.
Oh that sounds tasty! Might have to try that filling
Love the photo of Bee helping to clean the windows. We tend to avoid the local parks when the weather is nice too as they get so busy. Glad all went well with your dad’s telephone consultation. Sounds like it’s been a busy week with the decluttering. Hope that you start feeling better with your cold soon. #project365
Thank you am much better now
Seems you guys always suffer from cock-ups on the medical front. Glad you got to have the phone consultation instead. We really need a good de-clutter too #365
Yes they have been quite a few mistakes recently!
I hope you are feeling better now. I love the Lillies. You are having lots of fun with these hospital appointments for your dad! Sounds like you had a productive decluttering time. It feels like we are always decluttering! #365

Yep it is fun with his appointments. Wondering what will happen next!
Sorry to hear that you are still struggling with a cold. We had a clear out this week and also found a lot of old photo’s – so lovely looking back at old memories
It certainly is nice looking at old photos
I am super impressed with all the decluttering you have been doing. I need to do some more … and I am putting it off tbh! Although not for much longer. Lovely you have someone you can pass the clothes onto. I really struggle. Hope you are fully recovered from your cold now.
Thank you am fully recovered now
The girls are good helping clean the windows. I don’t blame you for wanting to avoid big groups of people, its certainly getting a lot busier again now. Sounds like you have had a busy week of clearing, sorting and decluttering! I keep meaning to get a shed so I can fill it with clutter haha! So maybe its a good thing I haven’t got one yet.

Probably best you don’t have one lol!
Sorry to hear the cold has been lingering. Hope you’ve recovered fully by now. It’s not the first time they mess up with your Dad’s appointments? Don’t they realise how frustrating it is for older people?!
Lovely that your girls helped you with the windows. And yes, I wouldn’t trust my DH to declutter, as he would throw away things I want to keep. 🙂
Nope they have messed up quite a few times!
Good to see the children joining in with the housework, that’s a lot fo stuff to have come out the shed, guess you’ll be needing things like the swing seat again soon.
Yes glad I didn’t end up getting rid of it
