In the decluttering, I found some letters from 1973, and two in my dad's handwriting - no way I can chuck those out.

I love keeping old sentimental things and have lots of old diaries etc from ten years ago and letters sent to me. It makes amazing reading when i read them now and i enjoy reading them as it can remind me how far i have come since then.

Hi Andan

I'm glad to hear it! These letters are amazing, I'd forgotten my dad actually wrote to me, not just the odd line, but real letters. And other family members, mostly my mum (of course! isn't it always mums). They're lovely. I've got the rest of the box to look at but these, covering 1973-1980, are going to be kept

There's a great radio show on Radio 4 called my teenage diary - it is based on a comedian revisiting their teenage diaries and is hilarious. I must admit I like to write one but rarely go back and read them. I really should!

Chick2organise, do you mean you've sold the Sky box itself on ebay? And you've got feedback on here from a sky worker thats made you angry because it was something you hoped wasn't true? If the new feedback you've had from on here is that the box still belongs to sky, I'd be wary of selling it on, whatever the bloke you've sold it to hopes.

Its quite weird, because of course none of my letters are there! Its just what people are writing *to* me.... and of course, the letters from me would have been heavily censored at the time first time away and all that.

I will come on tomorrow morning and post a list for the day I promise but for now it's a retrospective list again :rolleyes: so:

Today I:
Had a NSD - 3 in a row very very rare for me :T
Gave myself a manicure - one of my vices is getting my nails done so trying to resist temptation whilst out tomorrow :rolleyes:
Used up 2 more beauty products, which in turn makes more space.
Realised I wasn't hungry enough for dinner as had a big lunch (things on offer at supermarket at weekend) so just had some toast and will save dinner things for tomorrow :j
Made cakes - had all the ingredients I needed for them.
Went to some training tonight for a youth organisation I'm involved in - it was free, I got a drink and a biscuit and a chance to socialise and learn some new things :T:T
2 more squares for my blanket done too.
