Oh no! While I'm glad you got such a lot done, two days in bed in pain is horrible. How do you feel today?
It does sound as though you have made real progress: that's a whole black bag's worth of space which in turn you can use to help you sort more - plus other people will benefit from the things you've sent on their way.
I know just what you mean about things looking worse before they look better.

OK thanks Cherry. Walking at a funny angle and can't sit for long, but need to keep moving to loosen up - feel very stiff. DD has been an angel, helping me.

Hope you feel better! You inspired me to start on the Dining Room of Doom. It is looking better but a long way to go.My mortgage free diary: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6498069/whoops-here-comes-the-cheese0

Morning All
Brizzle - Thank you- feeling a little better but not enough improvement really - still can't bend - hubby has to put on my socks for me :rotfl: I think I just need to sit in a hot bath 24/7, I feel great when I'm doing that xx NOA
Puzz - Thank you You are right as always - I do need a new mantra, I always mean to but RL always take over> if it wasn't for the debt and needing to work 24/7 just to keep on top of current commitments, there would be time for R&R. Yet without R&R it's hard to keep going....as I've found out the last week 
BUT I feel grateful we can and do have work, and a lot of other blessings besides, often so easy to ignore:) Happy Hump Day (you always like it when it arrives )
xx NOAh
Redofromstart - Thank You a little as mentioned above but not very mobile yet 
Am glad to have been of help with starting on the Table of Doom :rotfl:, mine is on its way down a slippery slope again, but yesterday with a pre-notified powercut pretty much all day (I had totally forgotten about it ) so no computer, phone, microwave, oven, hob (electric ignition), kettle lights, heating. No flask of tea prepared) So I sat/stood with my thick fleece on and went through two of the bags I cleared off the table more than a week ago - One was a bagful of receipts from April onwards which I entered sorted and check against bank statement. Should now at some point be able to get a handle on how much we have spent in last six months! we could have a table tidying competition :rotfl:

That is nothing short of awesome! Want to do mine? I need to get every receipt I can find either entered into a spreadsheet or disposed of (apart from the 7 years' backlog I still have from having Power of Attorney - but they can stay in the filing cabinet till the seven years passes. I very much doubt they'll ever be asked for and by then they will have faded beyond reading anyway).
I hope you are enjoying being able to turn the electrics on again (amazing how much gets done without a working computer isn't it?!) and are feeling a bit less stiff today.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

It is amazing Cherry , a bag of paper now in recycling bin instead of on my table It's very satisfying, and yes no problem - send them over There was a time pre-kids that I religiously sorted such things on a weekly basis:eek: and had a "filing system" as opposed to piles:rotfl:
Am going to try contacting an osteopath I think, not sure what is going on.
Today is SE work day as got none done yesterday. more creditor updates to do too and a whole load of other stuff but head a bit fuzzy today. Must be the excitement of being in the civilised world again today - as opposed to my stone age experience yesterday:rotfl:

You mean piles don't count as a filing system? :eek:
Okay, the very big sack about to arrive on your doorstep is instalment number one from me. :rotfl:
