Today I gritted my teeth, and attempted to Get On With It.
GOWI involved firing up the heat press and pressing a massive pile of tee shirts. And then going in the loft, retreiveing some bee-keeping related paraphernalia and bringing it downstairs to donate to an acquantance who has started beekeeping.
And in the space created, I put the flat pack boxes which have been junking up one of the rooms for the past 6 months (or so). And I brought down a couple of other items which I've advertised as giveaways on our local facebook page, some items which I'm attempting to sell, and some items for a charity shop. Then I did a small amount of clearing up in the ex-box room, and threw away some fabric remnants (into a textile bag to take to the recycling centre). I saw a post asking for beer making stuff, so I retrieved some items from the loft, and answered the request. The hall is now awash with stuff awaiting collection.
I put the enormous bag of polysturene beads, bought to make an arm rest for DH, in the loft. Unfortunately the bag split, and the balls started haemorrhaging all over the loft. I had to call DH to get the sellotape while I held my hand on the wound to stop the beads escaping. I taped it up and then put the bag in two bin bags, and finally hoovered up. I had to hoover the landing as well, because those balls got everywhere. The landing was a bit surprised at being hoovered, I suspect.
The other milestone moment is that we took down the hoist in the bedroom! DH's arm is still very weak, but he's decided he can manage to get out of bed without using the hoist now. Currently it's dismantled and lying on the massage couch. It weights a lot and we've no where to store it yet, we need to do a bit more loft clearance!
I'm not sure I'll continue with GOWI tomorrow, but I will try.
