I think the days are gaining momentum, these final weeks of 2018 are flying by! I started a list in August of things that I wanted to get done by the end of the year and I am happy to say that most of that list will be ticked off by tomorrow. There will, unfortunately, be six rather large/difficult jobs to tackle after tomorrow though. These jobs will require time, effort and brain space to be completed, they include-
Sorting out the huge quantity of photos belonging to my late in-laws we have stored in our daughters storage shed
My late FIL's shed next door, it is packed to the rafters with so much stuff, he was also a shopper and collector of stuff.
Hundreds if not thousands of files of photos on memory sticks which belonged to my late MIL
Items to go to the local Baseball and Gun club
Many old family portraits to go to a family member who did the family genealogy a few years ago
And lastly the scattering of Grans and my MIL's ashes
You can see why we are having difficulty completing these last few jobs they definitely require time and for us to be in the right head space to do them. Hopefully early in the new year we can tackle them.
Now on with something much easier, what we bought, spent and ate this week-
