When we had just graduated we had them up in frames on the wall. Now I just keep them in my fireproof box with passport, driving licence etc.

Hi Kaz, I have scanned mine in and backed them up using the Mozyhome backup system (ie offsite in case), then put the originals in a file with my cv in case an employer ever asks to see them.

So; In essence; You're both telling me that it sitting in the envelope on the floor in the corner of my lounge like it has been for the last 2 months is not the way to keep it? :rotfl:
I've had it 9 years now and still done nothing with it. Blasted thing!

DH and I have bought our cards to each other from DD for tomorrow. At least that way, she'll make some money for her guides fundraising and we can throw them out after a week .

I have also slung out a bag full of rubbish found in the bathroom earlier. I'm now up to February total 108/100
My laptop has broken too so instead of dancing around the room and buying the ipad2 which I really, really want, I searched around the net and found out what was wrong with it and how to fix it and have bought the new part from ebay.
DS saw me doing it and asked what we were doing (DH was on the floor with my laptop in pieces while I was on his searching) so we explained. His (and DD's) opinion? Wow, you really can get EVERYTHING on ebay! 2 expensive items have died on us in 2 months and we have got instructions for repair from youtube and parts from ebay. Total cost of repair... £28.20. Cost to replace... IRO £900 :eek:

Angelavdavies; I keep meaning to say, good luck with the children. I remember when you bought your house on the original MFi3- seems like a long time ago!

I know I'm a bit late, but better late than never - please can I join in. My house is a complete mess, and I need to get things better before September.

This weekend I helped DS2 to clear out under the bed. didn't keep a count of what we got rid of, but there were several old shoeboxes, and birthday and Christmas cards, from his infant school friends - he is 17 now!

Also put aside various items for geocaching goodies.

I also took advantage of the free listing weekend on ebay, and listed about 10 items, with others in my "to ebay" box. One item listed last week sold today.

So I will start with:
1. Loo roll inside - recycling
2. Old birthday/christmas cards
3. Cardboard boxes - recycling
4. Old, threadbare teatowel - ragbag
5. Chocolates eaten - box to recycling
6. Newspapers - recycling

6/100 February Decluttering:T

Ditch 100 things in February

Well I was hoping to say I'd managed to get rid of 8 DVD's via facebook.... but I cant!
One person was buying 2 and didnt turn up and hasnt answered my messages
The other was adament he came and I wasnt in. I finally managed to convince him he had the wrong house after revealing that I have in fact only 2 wheely bins not three and I dont have a pink CD player on my microwave lol! He said he'll come again next week as hes moving house this week.

Have a ebay sale to post tomorrow and some library book to take back so fingers crossed I'll get my mojo back and continue when I get home.

I can add 2 carrier bags of carrier bags to someone on freecyle (no idea what for, presuming they are doing a car boot?)
An a bag of sprouting potatoes to the compost, think they might actually continue growing lol I'll let you know :rotfl:

59/100 so far

I had planned to be so much further down the line with it all but yesterday I just couldnt get going. Today I have an appt with physio ( tennis elbow !) and I have a sinus headache so feeling bleurgh! ENT appt tomorrow and promised to meet up with friend - the week is slipping by............... DD2 has cleared out cutlery drawers so I shall see if she has found anything to throw/pass on
