    I'm getting to the opposite extreme, I have done so many flylady super fling boogies, that the only thing left to throw out is DH xx.

    Seriously though, I have just thrown out 10 cookbooks, that were on the top of my fridge freezer on the grounds that considering the amount of dust that was on them, the last time they were looked at, Noah was in the Ark. All the recipes can be found online anyway - right???????????????
    I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

    I'm definitely the opposite... I can't find half of mine including the notebook I wrote my granny's gingerbread recipie in. My mum has misplaced her copy too. :cry::( Actually I'm off to my parents now to raid their cookerybooks for a reliable Xmas cake recipie as I can't find that either... :o It was in an old veggie cookbook from the 80s I think...
