    That's my next soup sorted then! Thanks Missy and FireFox.

    It's quite sad how much I enjoy updating my ticker at the end of the month....not quite so good after a bad month though!

    First time I've been called Little Miss Domestic.....my first boyfriend bought me a Little Miss Bossy book once! I wouldn't feel bad sitting here- you'll be surprised how much you do if you write it down.....for a start being on here isn't a bad thing!

    Today I plan to
    1. Do Flylady cleaning list
    2. Do some more work
    3. Declutter next section of wardrobe
    4. Go for a walk
    5. Do a little bit of yoga or pilates
    6. Do a relaxation session
    7. Check internet banking, make PAD and update on relevant threads!

    Good luck with your decluttering. I was putting some clothes away this morning and realised how much in my wardrobe I don't wear anymore but I don't want to clear it out as I'll have nothing left! And I can't afford a new wardrobe of clothes at the mo lol

    It's difficult to find the happy medium! I need to cut back a bit but not too much. I must keep remembering I do not need more clothes :)

    It is good to realise that lots of the clothes I wear the most or get complimented on are from charity shops.

    Sadly most of the stuff I end up getting rid of is things from expensive shops which I got at a bargain price. Sometimes if something is cheap I buy it even though it doesn't really fit me or doesn't suit me.

    Just the relaxation session and maybe a bit more work to do- it felt like a bit of a struggle and I still don't feel like I've achieved much!
    Looks like I can call another NSD on the plus side.

    I think you've done brilliantly today jellie hun, just look at all the things you crossed off your list, you need to sit down with a nice cuppa and relax.

    I know what you mean about the clothes, I went through mine not too long back and ended up giving loads to the charity shops, half of it still had labels on!!!! No more.

    And most of the stuff I get complimented on comes from Primark... gone are my days of shopping in ted baker and karen millen!! I do need to go through my wardrobe again, but some of my clothes don't quite fit, but they will when I've lost this pesky stone or so... so don't really want to chuck stuff out until I can fit into the other stuff, if that makes sense.

    I still need to join the challenges, think I might go and have a look... speak soon hun

    Thanks everyone!
    Might take it easier today as I'm trying to decrease my medicine and feel a bit rough. I'm planning to do the following but won't worry if I can't do any of it
    1. Relaxation session
    2. Go for walk
    3. Do a little bit of work if I can
    4. Some cleaning in bathroom if I have the energy
