Chill out,it’s probably ongoing.I'm the same when doing any work at the stables, I have to try and load the car up with anything I might possibly need, but I still forget something

Another funeral today, mother of two of the village kids..
This afternoon got dragged into the wife and her friends sea swimming (as moral support only). Good thing was, the little bay just opposite Fishguard (Pwll Gwaelod is its name) has a pub (called the Seamans Rest iirc), so myself and the other sensible males went for a pint, and very nice they were too...

How cold?
The beer? Around 12 degrees, the sea a bit colder, 9 degrees (I'm told).

Have you noticed the bench top?
Mines fuller than that AND the floor is full.
What's frustrating is as I now claim my pension my brain was authorising the release of stuff I was saving in case my wife went before my pension.
Sadly they took my carers allowance so I am not as comfortable as I expected.....BUT at least if my wife passes away before me I am not loosing that money overnight.
So hopefully I have it into my head a lot more stuff needs to go as I get round to it.

I spent some time moving things around and looking for items. My garage is more of a storage unit rather than a workshop, but is slowly gaining more room as I move stuff to my project home.
i should be ashamed lol but there is this law that states any empty flat surface will fill up with crap, thats not really a bench its just the top of the tool boxes with a piece of ply on unfortunately l left it empty overnight and woosh stuff just appeared just like that
my real benches are at the end of the garage and i do force myself to keep them empty otherwise it drains the enthusiasm to go in there and work on stuff
i made this steel bench 25 years ago and its taken a beating over the years
and a wooden bench for drilly things
l also made a false wall down the one side filled it with racking and put loads of plastic trays in there for all the crap you need but dont want to see every day lol
im 66 retired and this is my happy place
spent the day in there yesterday heater on smooth radio on paint roller in hand and now its red so i can start bolting bits on
A man after my own heart, I salute you Sir!
For me, a clean and tidy workshop is a joy to be in, as well as being more efficient and a whole lot safer, unless you're of the mind that climbing over piles of crap and not being able to find what you need is sensible...
i find i make a much better job of things when the place is tidy, i always promised myself a dream workshop when i retired and whilst theres room for improvement im sure its keeps me happy i made all the benches on wheels so i could push them outside and have a good sweep up every now and then, i used to be tripping over angle grinders and all sorts of crap on the floor but no more, i should have worked for maclaren lol
