halfpint Sep 2021 10:32pm, 6 Sep 2021 35,645 posts	Quote Pin halfpint I’ve just realised that this time last year I was going to start swimming with a group of OW swimmers. I don’t get out with them much because the regular venue is too far but I am swimming relatively regularly and still get out with them occasionally. This is a powerful thread.
BaronessBL Sep 2021 8:01am, 7 Sep 2021 8,991 posts	Quote Pin BaronessBL I have started tidying my study. This has been prompted by the fact that I will need something tomorrow that currently I have no idea what I have done with it. However I will continue with the tidying even if I find the thing in the next 10 minutes. Then I will try to keep it tidy which may be harder....

I am as of September going to clear it once a month! Probably on the day before I go on my monthly "micro holiday" to the seaside... It is something that weighs heavily and overwhelms me...
Hanneke Sep 2021 9:17am, 7 Sep 2021 79,170 posts	Quote Pin Hanneke If I do it today, then last weekend at the seaside and the basket clearing have already started, with a greater success of continuation.

BaronessBL Sep 2021 9:25am, 7 Sep 2021 8,992 posts	Quote Pin BaronessBL I am looking for a membership card that was sent to me at the end of May (so it definitely came to this address rather than our previous one and has only been in my possession for 3 months). So far I have found: Every business card I have ever been given by people including some from people who have been dead well over 5 years; train tickets from the 1990s; a work ID card that expired in 1999; Every RAC membership card I was ever sent even though I have not been a member of the RAC for at least 2 years; Unused credit cards that expired in 2017; The previous 2 years versions of the card I am looking for and the letter that accompanied the one I am looking for; A phonecard (remember them for phoneboxes - remember them) with 20 credits on it; But the card I want that I only received 3 months ago.... not a chance. Might I have thrown it away? Unlikely based on the above findings.....!

Hanneke Sep 2021 9:31am, 7 Sep 2021 79,172 posts	Quote Pin Hanneke Wow Baroness! You sound worse than me! 🤣 Might you have been organised for a change and put the membership card in your bag or wallet?
BaronessBL Sep 2021 9:56am, 7 Sep 2021 8,993 posts	Quote Pin BaronessBL Been through every bag/wallet/special case for keeping cards in (which is where most of the above things were!) It'll turn up. Just going to clear my desk for the third time and re-arrange the piles of paper again in case it's stuck to the back of one of them!
