Hypno's "there's more to life than debt" diary.....

Well considering no decluttering had been done at 4.20pm you've typically done amazing...putting me to shame as usual.

Do you mind me asking do you still put the £50 per mth in your L&G? Not sure if to stop or not with all thats going on.

hypno06

Yes, I am still putting my £50 a month into L&G, and signed OH up for one too......so he can get the cashback through quidco, and hopefully in a few years time, the markets will have recovered, and I will be able to withdraw a bit from L&G and put it towards the new house deposit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have sorted through some clothes - have a smallish pile of things I would like to be able to get back into and have put them on a separate shelf. If I am not in them by Easter, they will go to someone who can get into them via a charity shop. There is another, larger, pile of things I am just fed up with, so can go straight to a charity shop, along with a few other bits and pieces that I found that can go. Amazingly, though, there doesn't seem to be any more space in the wardrobe - how can that be

Hiya Hypno - sounds like you've done well with decluttering today. I like the 10 a day during the week and 25 a day at weekends, infact, i'm going to start that too. Don't you do NLP....isn't this an NLP technique chunking or something. I might have made that up!!!! I'll be asking if you've done your ten tomorrow xx

hypno06

Not sure about the decluttering being an NLP thing, although I do think that once I am decluttered I will feel much better in myself so therefore it is some sort of therapy!!!

I just want a simple life :rotfl:

It was the chunking bit I thought was NLP....chunking down? or up? Can you tell I can't remember??? I've borrowed your idea of £50 squares to pay off an interest free credit card...hope you don't mind xx

hypno06

Of course I don't mind! It works well for me - hope it does for you too. I get quite obsessed about colouring in my squares!

hypno06

chunking is a psychology thing - something to do with breaking things into smaller chunks to aid memory. Great word, though!

beanielou

Think I might try 5 a day & 10 at weekends.
Love the chunking word!

I was wondering (briefly) whether to work out the square footage of my house........then devise a grid for each square foot, and then I can colour in a square for every square foot that gets cleared. Whaddya reckon

:rotfl:

Keeping_Motivated

I reckon you sound just like me :rotfl: You'll do anything to 'avoid' getting stuck into the house :T Give me chart making anytime

I'm only jesting the difference is with you and me is your methods seem to work
