    Hello All

    I'm back from my weekend at my sisters -she put me to work with my dad and my bro-in-law. We had to dryline the back bedroom and the prep work was filthy stuff - I was covered in dust!

    Sarah - congrats on the decluttering - when I did a mini-declutter (not quite to your standards!!!) I gave any odds of make up away on freecycle. It was very easy and someone came the next day to collect. Clothes I gave to charity and the other bits and bobs I'm hoping to ebay which is one of my tasks for this month. I sold my first book on amazon, it took ages but it was very easy and you don't need a camera or anything. You just put in the isbn number.

    My flatmate has sold cd's on there as well.

    I'm back on the wagon once all the easter eggs are eaten (which won't be long, choc doesn't stay long in my house!!!!)

    Pink - haven't bought any shoes recently (well apart from some lovely bargain shoes for work which are like high heel brogues, from sale at Jones the Bootmaker) but I have my eye on these http://www.office.co.uk/womens/office/lux_gladiator/60/6013/16292/1/


    I'm feeling a bit unsettled today, I had a really vivid dream last night about a guy I used to have a serious crush on. At the time I really thoguht something was going to happen between us as there was really strong chemistry but it didn't work out. I hate these things that my sub-concious does to me!!!
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)

    Hello everyone.

    I hope everyone is well. I'm going to post every day now to keep myself on the straight and narrow.

    Paid for 2 tonic waters and a cranberry juice and parking tonight - came to £4.80. It's taken me months to realise that I can't even afford that, but I've still got to live.

    When I think of all the money I have spent over the last few years. It's awful.

    My LBM wasn't November when I started posting here. It was last night. I just hope I've caught it in time to clear the debt.

    It seems lots of people are getting rid of loads of things? It seems that people are generally slimming down on what they own? I've just had a 3 hour conversation with a friend that has lost his business and it's really made me think, why the hell do I have all of this stuff?! It's just stuff!

    Bit of an intense conversation whilst being enjoyable. Can feel my way of thinking changing now and it's scary but good!

    Well I like the Aqua the best. The thing is I find it hard to pay full price for things now....I normally have a code, a voucher or get things in the sale!!

    And they're flat which is better than the normal sky-highs that I lust over!!

    Hi Pink Twirl

    I think it's taken a few of us more than one LBM before getting on track - I am definately one of them :o

    I have spent the weekend getting a plan together and will defo be posting everyday. Partly to keep me on track, partly for the support amd mostly for the banter with the lovely people on here :A

    Blue is good! I know what you mean, everything I have seems to be very very high!

    I don't like paying full price for anything now either. I think everything is just too expensive now.
