    afternoon all - just caught up...

    today haven't done much, slept til gone 10am... then we went to pet shop to buy some more goldfish to kill... (we'd killed the patches one, and the old one we inherited, all we had left was 1 comet called redstripe) now we have another shebunkin to replace patches, (patches II) and another one which is kinda brown and black like burnt toast!

    then popped into asda and exchanged some bras i'd bought at the weekend... we actually managed to resist the urge to buy anything else, our freezer and cupboards need used up so we'll be doing that for the next couple of weeks....
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    I was going to disagree with you on that as I take it to mean sort out the stuff you need and chuck the rest, but yes 30 storage boxes just sounds like boxing clutter!:D
