    Another carrier bag of clothes from sister, although I suspect at least half of the stuff will be too small and/or revealing for me, will have a trying on session over the weekend and anything unsuitable can go to charity shop.

    Out

    Nothing

    Pending


    Epic fail on the Ebay front, said I'd list at least two things by yesterday - really fed up with myself for not doing it as I'm going to put the proceeds towards a holiday which we otherwise can't afford. It will also make massive inroads into the clutter in the spare room if I can shift it all... in fact I'm not going to mention Ebay on here again, until I've actually listed something!

    Two more clothes items in the charity bag

    On a more positive note, I've reorganised my wardrobe and packed all of my winter jumpers away under the bed.

    :rotfl:

    Yes I will - Im just plucking up the courage to start chucking my carefully hoarded carp, which has taken me years to carefully assemble.

    I see a few familiar faces in here and they know what Im like from other threads......they will kick me into parting with it and I can foresee a few flying mules also! :D

    Im getting there.....will join you soon - am just lurking for the inspiration as your all doing so well!!!
