    Keep thinking of the grand plan El, it'll be worth it. I'm a less is more girl myself and tried to help a friend declutter before she moved - painful wasn't the word for it! we did end up laughing in the end while she tried to explain the necessity of keeping a nappy (unused) from the first batch of nappies for each child.... I used to keep every book I'd ever bought but have cut that way back to the ones that I will read again, cookery books and reference ones... don't ask me to part with me photies though....

    skinty you sound just like my friend lol ...

    hypno i can tell you it is quite cathartic to be honest ...yesterday we did the dinning room the bathroom and i spent a couple of hours sorting out the c.d's i found c.d's we havnt listened to for years and no i aint parting with them ...there is something you can get rid of and some that just dont get touched:rotfl: ...i managed to get rid of one cd rack that holds 250 c.d's though so i just have one of them and four cd racks that hold 100 each left ...i even managed to get rid of all of the c.d booklet thingys i had so that must be another fair few hundred gotten rid of ...i like it ..i can now walk into most rooms in my house and they look better and the bonus for me will be much easier to clean :T :T :T ...we even managed to fit in three massages yesterday ...we did good

    my friend that is coming to stay phoned last night she is having a ball and is dreading coming home ...but feels she needs to to say goodbye to everyone and end her life in Scotland before moving over permanantley...so i told her her area is looking good i think she is glad that atleast that bit is sorted for her moving back ...

    I'd gladly pay for that - it would be worth putting my DFD back by a bit if I could have an uncluttered house!!!!!

    Has it been ten day's ...my how the time flies ...
    ok what's been happening in el land ...well hubby went to the dr mentioned the podiatrist the dr said he can just buy a set from the shop he wasnt going to refer him ...he then measured his legs and said yes your right (i think) is 3 cms shorter than your left ...so i have told hubby to get back and tell him you want fitted properly for one ...

    erm uni well it's still there and so am i...have completed my resubs ...am still waiting for the results of one of my papers no doubt will have a resub for that as well

    i have done a wee bit of mbing it has been such a while since i have done any and i have to admit i am enjoying it ...at first i couldnt remember everything but it soon came back to me ....

    have paid some off my visa have paid off my training ...and i now have a clean bedroom ...i can even see the floor ...it is laminate how smart is that lol ...this weekend i am finishing off the inside of the house (i hope) then starting on the garage and shed...

    and have a thought about the job i am getting made redundant from the whisper is they might find funidng from somewhere ...i have to say i have had enough i wanted to give this job up last year and i have stuck with it alot longer than planned ....although i need the money of that i have no doubt(visa bill) i think i need the sanity more so even if they find the funding i am done ...end of may ...that should give me the summer to rest and hopefully move forward with the business

    That sounds reasonable el.....if you can manage, income wise, without the job for a bit, then recharge your batteries in your newly sparkly house, you will be re-energised!

    BTW, is your "mad on cleaning" friend, ready to do my house yet.....I will get biscuits in especially.......
