    Clicked on the link and what lovely clothes and not too expensive.I shop in Evans for stuff and they are the same price ish...Unfortunately can't buy from them as I'm too big.
    It is amazing what clutter we collect ..more annoying is that bin men don't take stuff away anymore...so end up having to go to tip.

    Morning Hypno
    When I saw "WhiteStuff" I thought it was a pseudonym for "The White Company"!:rotfl:
    It looks kind of like Anthropologie - one of my favourite American stores now open here

    I love the homeware....

    Glad to hear of the successes at the weekend for Team Hypno.:T I went to Rossendale many moons ago (about 25!:eek:) for a practise before skiing with the school, but had no idea there was a school comps scene. Sounds good.

    I'm very happy to report a weekend of decluttering. I'm addicted! It feels so liberating to walk in from work and certain areas to be free from junk. The quest continues. Thanks for the inspiration once again.
    Have a good day!

    Ooh, that's a website, milann, that I could get "lost" in for a couple of hours :o

    Off to scratch and see if I can win enough to buy something lovely :rotfl:

    10ps only on the scratches so no lovely shopping for me today :rotfl:

    £25 has been paid to my 0% card as the normal monthly payment, so that brings the balance down to £3478.....and allowing me to colour in another square this morning - always a nice way to start the day.

    Hope you all have a good day x

    Thanks Hypno - you too. Found a random £175 in my UK bank account today, did any of you put it in there? Thanks very much if you did!

    Those clothes were lovely Hypno, can see why you love them.

    Nearly at the £21k mark - keep going!

    Morning Hypno,

    Well now that you're FLYing, I am going to tempt you with a website that you may find hard to resist. Excited??

    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.

    Well, looks like a good day for money, llamahead! I got home to a letter from the Valuations office saying my Council tax band has been reduced from an E to a D :D:D:D

    We have been here for just over 6 years, and so will get a refund for that period, and the people who lived here before us should also get a refund......I don't yet know the figures, but it will be several hundred pounds for the backdated overpayment, and it will be a small saving each month going forward.

    Thank you :money:

    Not a chance - I would need a repayment of a few thousand, not a few hundred :o

    But it will all help the cause!
