    The cat is great, it was just my poor English. She looks fantastic. I am going to let her out today the first time. So nervous about if she doesn't come back. I am sure she will thou.

    Lots of organising planned for today but now enjoying a quiet moment while BF and DD have taken the dogs for a walk.

    Planning feverishly my new diary - any advise, requests etc gratefully received.

    This was a junk room:

    And this is what was behind the door:

    chaos007.jpg

    Now it is my chill out/study/clothes room:

    And

    Still pile behind door, this is all to sell, give away:

    However there is still pile of things that need to be sorted through (chuck, find place, move to be sold/give away pile). This is the pile I need to go through to find all my filing tonight after DD has gone to bed:

    And this was the book room:

    chaos012.jpg

    Now I actually have access to the boxes:

    And after I put the shelves back I also have access to the book cases where I am going to move all the books to that gets listed for selling:

    wow, your book room looks like my cupboard of doom!

    I have been trying to list stuff on ebay but just not selling, might end up going down route of selling stuff for silly prices just to get rid and have SOME Cash, rather than none.

    Well done Marru, that is great organising and decluttering.

    and I love the zen part for your new diary. go for it :D
