Today was the day! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ชPlus two very old random remote controls! ๐Ÿ˜… What can you find? Nothing to declutter?

Are you a black pudding fan? ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฅ—๐Ÿ˜ Happy Wednesday = Anti-Procrastination day in Flylady Land (pick a day of the week that suits YOU)! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜ Set a timer for 10-15 minutes and do something you've been putting off (phone call to the doctor, paying a bill, small repairs, removing nasties from the fridge). It's usually not as bad as you think! ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŽ‰ On Wednesdays I wipe off a shelf or drawer in the fridge. That stops it from building up and being a nasty task! ๐Ÿคฉ At the moment we're eating our way through the contents of our basement freezer (will no longer use it => save electricity ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’ฐโšก๏ธโšก๏ธ) Currently eating Irish black pudding. Yum! Ate it (as usual) for breakfast with eggs, but also made a hash for dinner: fried leftover potatoes, onions, apples (from our garden ๐Ÿ๐ŸŒณ) and savoy cabbage, then topped with a fried egg ๐Ÿฅฌ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿง… Plenty of brown sauce and pickled beetroot. Delicious! ๐Ÿ˜‹ Perhaps you've been procrastinating on looking after yourself? Doesn't need to cost money or take a lot of time or effort, said the Canny Scot! ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ Just do something nice for you! Light a candle while you take your morning shower ๐Ÿšฟ๐Ÿ•ฏ try a new hot or cold drink โ˜•๐Ÿต๐Ÿน watch the rain for a few minutes! โ˜” I'm using my handcream (a gift from my Bestie, Vibeke) and a quick skoosh skoosh of my favourite perfume ๐Ÿฅฐ If you need inspiration, there are pamper/self-preservation ideas on my blog https://DianeDenmark.com ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ’– What are you going to do today? Eat black pudding?! Or take a few minutes to "just be"? ๐Ÿ’–
