I was going start this blog with ‘I didn’t realise how clutter, makes me feel’ but then I though what the hell are you talking about you know EXACTLY how it makes you feel?

In me shed I have to move at least 3 things, to do one thing and it’s so frustrating to spend more time making room than making something.

Earlier today, an engineer came to look at our boiler because it has been losing pressure over the last couple of months and last week it stopped working because I forgot to fill it up. So I thought this needs to be sorted, we pay monthly for it to be right and it just isn’t. When he came he did all the required checks and ascertained that the boiler was fine so the heating system was probably to blame and pointed out that the radiator at the bottom of the stairs was weeping. He said if you have a couple of them the system will lose pressure but the moisture might never drip it may evaporate before it does.

It was pretty obvious as soon as he said what the problem might be so I went round all the radiators to check for weepage but to do so I had to move so much stuff just to get near each valve. Every one was covered with something apart from ironically one of the ones that was leaking at the bottom of the stairs, which because it was not covered was probably hit by the hoover making it leak!

So I spent a long time today moving stuff just to find and fix leaking radiators we just have so much stuff and no room to store it but to create storage space we have to create space and so the cycle continues!

I have mentioned that I am building a bench and I am enjoying the journey but although I know what I want to achieve, with no plans just ideas off YouTube I have made a couple of mistakes which are not catastrophic but annoying and takes time to work through and put right.

Scored 180 today not unusual, I am getting better the more I practice but this one was unique. I was in me shed doing a bit of woodworking and as I very often do at certain times just retrieve me darts and just throw a few to rake a break from what I am doing. I challenge myself to hit a target before I can stop throwing and get back to what I was doing, like hit a treble 20 hit a bull go round the board on doubles etc. Anyway this afternoon at one of those breaks I thought, hit a treble 20 before carrying on, which I did first dart then threw 2 more, a 180 with me first 3 darts. I just left them in the board and went back to building my bench, it just won’t get better than that so why try lol

I threw more darts later on and was OK but never really reach the heights of earlier…

Watched Ronnie O’Sullivan beat Ally Carter in the Snooker Masters and thought is there a more talented or gifted sports star?

Jamie took Reagan and Lincoln to Altrincham for an ice skating lesson after work leaving me to realise I have made a huge mistake in my bench building project which will now take a total rethink of what I want to achieve?

Ww sat down to watch the remaining three episodes of Mr Bates vs The Post Office while the children did their own thing occasionally just interupting us by joining us and talking with absolute disregard for what we were doing or watching just to tell us the single most important thing in their lives at that moment!

Reagan had apparently being procrastinating over perfume and face cream for 45 minutes and we had to pause the TV to hear about it? Lincoln is having friends over tomorrow for a Dungeons and Dragons afternoon tomorrow and made us pause the TV to explain this date that we already knew about.

The last two nights, Jamie and I have just said something without prompting at exactly the same time, jokes that we know the other would crack

Last night Lincoln left the living room after disturbing the programme we were watching to just talk at us about what he was doing just before he came into the room. As he left the room he said “Enjoy your show!” and in unison without prompting both Jamie and I said “We were!”

We just fell about laughing uncontrollably because it was the second time we’d done it this week, we just share a brain and it’s fantastically the best…!

Jamie said tonight that the best part about being in a relationship is going to the supermarket and chattering all the way around and arriving home not realising that you have just enjoyed completed the most mundane life task and enjoyed every leisurely moment of it.

She is right everything is easy and enjoyable when we do it together!

Water is the elixir of life and I need it every day but water is boring I just don’t enjoy drinking it, so add coffee and sugar Now fizzy water is far more interesting same thing but with something extra something that makes water interesting

Jamie is the fizz to my life, yeh it’s OK I love my life but when Jamieis not here it’s just life, but when she’s here life is just better, it’s far more fun and enjoyable
