InaPickle getting out of a pickle!

Music lesson today: went into work straight after to find that my hours for today had been changed without consulting me :mad:, and that I have indeed been blasted straight down to my contracted number of hours as seemed to be the threat, so I need to get something else as that's an untennable financial position in which to find myself. Despite that, feeling strangely positive in life. Go figure.
Nighty night. Off to Bedfordshire.Please call me 'Pickle'

That's a good idea! The only problem is that I have so much paper between uni notes, books, letters etc. that I could conceivably spend more than a year decluttering it all if I did it bit-by-bit.
And, of course, I'm not married so I don't have an anniversary to declutter for, but hey ho, that means I don't have a husbands stuff to make even more of a mess, so it's not all bad!
You don't have to be married, so you can't use that as an excuse
You only spend one week on each "anniversary" and then you loop round till done
I have chucked all my uni notes away after keeping them in boxes for 9 years, looked at a few subjects and didn't understand any of it, so into the recycle bags it went. I can't think when I will need harmonics in signal processing again :rotfl:Mortgage Aug 12 £165K, Aug 19 £0

Drat! Foiled again! :rotfl:
I'm still a bit afraid to throw the rest of mine out. I already had a big sort out of stuff I know I won't need again, but the rest seems like it might be needed in the future. That's two big boxes full: imagine what it was like before! :eek:
Ah well, should get with getting rid of the stuff I can get away with at the minute. I just had a big sort out a declutter of the simply stupid number of pens/pencils etc. that I have, and have given the massive surplus away, so it's getting there. Very slowly!
And what is signal processing, Radish? Sounds technical...*insert geeky smiley*Please call me 'Pickle'

There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

Hello, Dont want to sound too familiar in first comment on your diary but....
Chuck 'em! I held on to my uni notes for 7 years after my degree, and I work in (very loosely) in a field connected to my degree. A whole cupboard was taken up with dusty notes that I didn't look at between leaving uni and chucking the notes out. On the final day of keeping them I finally snapped and thought "most of it is written from text books etc. All my essays are on discs (which i've since lost lol). And if I really need that info again, which i more than likely wont then I can nip down the library or search the internet to find out what I want to know. But at least i'll have a nice big cupboard to fill with other rubbish instead"
Oh and PS: Its been over a year now and I have still not required anything from the notes that I couldn't find out somewhere else. (ok I no longer have the cupboard, but then at least i don't have to cart dusty files round from one address to another.)DFD: 23/12/20100 -
I am for my sins a tech geek, my degree was in Electrical Engineering,
And for the life of me I can't remember anything on that topic, apart from there being lots of maths :eek:Mortgage Aug 12 £165K, Aug 19 £0

Not sure how we got onto the topic of uni notes. I graduated 3 years ago and this summer I chucked the notes...................I did go thru the stuff that is related to the field I work in and frankly it was all out of date! I sold the books on Amazon and made a tidy profit. I did keep a fob with the essays and I have I used them in my post grad, have I hell!
So get chuckin' lovie!LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.
