T stands for...three cheers!!!

Hi everyone!  That's what we gave yesterday...we tackled the cupboards, made room for putting  most things away  or  managed to get them into bags to go to the charity shop or tip! 

It took most of the day so we rewarded ourselves by going to see '1917' at the cinema today. I must say at times it was a very harrowing watch but overall deserves all the good reviews we had read! It certainly has lots of awards nominations and I will be surprised if it doesn't win some!

Yesterday after all the efforts with the tidying operation I received an e-mail with this attachment in it!
We bought fitbit watches in the sales after Christmas and what with outings and walking around the apartment I have walked 26 miles! It gave me a lift for sure, and when I got on the scales this morning I had another lovely surprise - I have lost 14lb(6.3kg)since we sold our caravan before Christmas!

We have been out walking a few times and my medication has been changed but maybe it's less of what is in my T Stands For Tuesday photo, as it is now time to join Bleubeard and Elizabeth for our regular Tuesday meet up with the TSFT gang

This was our last full day and we went for coffee and a shared toasted teacake at Booths after taking some things to the charity shop around the corner!

I have a few photos of Styall/Quarry Bank Mill to show you too!
We took a walk here just after Christmas!
The Mill owner's house was open and had been decorated for Christmas..





...but we only took a few photos outside..it was quite cold!!

Keeping it short today, Midsummer Murders is back on TV so off to put my feet up! 

Thanks for looking, Chris

  2. Wow big congratulations on all those miles walked and loss of weight. sadly I have gained back some of the weight I lost-so I am watching those carbs again and walking-I just came in from a 2 plus mile walk and the air was heavy-and I made it up and down those steep hills-so I am feeling good about that.
    You are doing good get things set up-I went through allot of boxes last weekend-found spots for allot of it and will have to sell some too-no room in this smaller home. but Larry has been wanting to downsize so we are.
    Happy T wishes Kathy

  6. Congrats to all!
    I´m trying my best, too - so much stuff in here and Hubby keeps adding more and more! Whilst I declutter. Surprisingly no sore muscles, so no excuse - work out again ;-) Happy belated T-day.

  9. Glad you got more put away or ready to give away.
    I have heard that is quite the movie! I'll have to wait until it comes on Netflix which won't be like on the big screen, though.
    Congrats on losing the weight!
    The Mill looked lovely for Christmas.
    Have a great day! :)

  11. Congratulations of completing a marathon, Chris - lol - and on your weight loss. I get a kick out of those Fitbit awards. It must feel good to have all you stuff sorted. The Mill house decorations are lovely. I wouldn't mind having Christmas all year long (no the commercial part, but the beauty and good cheer).

    Happy T-day! Eileen xx

  14. Wow, you have been busy! And well done for doing all those steps! And for the weight loss of course. Not many people can say they lost weight since before Christmas!
    Quarry bank mill is great. We have been there twice when we had NT membership.My sister lives in Cheshire so when we were up there we would visit as many NT places as possible. Quarry banks is one of my favorites. I don't remember having been inside the owner's house though. It is beautiful I must say.
    A toasted tea cake! Sometimes I just hanker after one of those (with butter!). Used to get them at the Little Chefs along the A roads back in the day. Little Chefs are no more....
    Sorry for the late comment. We have been helping friends move house (They are now living within walking distance)
    Belated happy T-Day,
    Hugs,
    Lisca

  15. That's a great result on the walking and weightloss - what a happy feeling to lift you through January's damp days. Good to hear you're doing well on the sorting front too - it's an excellent bonus that it's keeping you fit!

    Another great outing - and those festive decorations are lovely. I do like the deer in the garden.
