    Fedupandskint - do you want to come and lodge at mine a while and help with my lists as you've done so well

    Clearly I am in demand for my prowess, however, I can only say it is due to this very thread and the lists which I make my own to achieve I THANK YOU!!!!!!

    She can do that after both she and wilf have been round to mine :D

    Better check the diary then - I am v.good now at chucking, freecycling, selling and tipping!

    All is thanks to this thread and site in general. I have made hit my limit on paypal due to decluttering and have a new outlook on what I need and probably due to splitting up from ex and living away from him and his consumerist lifestyle.

    Many thanks to Piggers,Toots and Soappie for the thread management and everyone else for the HHC encouragement which has amazed me how much I can achieve inthis time and for longer and how easy after the start it can become. Now I know what I can achieve and it is no longer the mahoosive job I thought it was. When I was doing Yoga today I could see some fluff under my divan bed which I will hoover up on the next bedroom day.

    Some jobs I have done over the last year I have never carried out in my life or thought about doing eg wipe the headboard or hoover under furniture or wipe down kitchen units

    Lots of people on here have been an true inspiration to me with what they have achieved, even in half an hour - it is an inspiration indeed.

    Let's all pull together and continue now and in the future :D



    SunnyZo's list of things to do for next week
    1. garden tidy
    2. Continue leaf sweep up
    3. Clear out gutter
    4. Book holiday for next year
    5. Make Christmas cards 4/7 made :D
    6. Plant bulbs
    7. Plant garlic

    Hi everyone. Ive been a busy bee today. I did the dailies and hoovered right through. This afternoon I decided to Paint and Grain the kitchen cupboards. So have put two base coats on. Will get it finished Tuesday.

    Could I have some positive vibes for my DD please as she has the BD at the moment.

    Soappie n Greenbee Hope your ankles are better soon. Healing vibes for you both.

  • I know I have my other ID on but I am not switching back and fore just now...

    fedup/SunnyZo you have done really well honey - and bear in mind the lists and encouragement is there for everyone but you have to accept it and take on board what you need to do - not everybody does that - so be really proud of yoursef for tuning your life around and making it and your home something that gives you pleasure.
    Mudbath I hope you had a good time at the dinner and your eye is a bit easier today
    Greenbee and Soappie will you listen to your own advise and take it easier and rest those ankles or you wont be trippping the light fantastic anytime soon
    sexy hope you feel better soon and be sure to rest instead of trying to do all these preparations for school
    zoelikesjam - you be sure to get loads of rest and let your body heal a bit - hope the morphine is helping - take care of yourself (((hugs)))

    Am i right in thinking if i spend £30 then with the code i'll get the £25 hamper.
    Then if i spend over £50 do you get a different hamper? Is there a different code?

    This is my first bit of christmas shopping.:o:eek:
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Vanilla - huge hugs for you. If you spend £50 before the 3 for 2's etc there is a free £50 hamper - different code here but says it is expired. The smaller hamper is still showing as current though. Don't forget quidco!

    Toots - final star for me before the thread closes please.

    :wave:
    Hope you're all ok and have had a good weekend. We had the best night out ever at the dinner dance. Gorgeous food, lots of dancing and we met some lovely people at our table. It was just brilliant.

    We got in VERY late (3am!!!) so I've done nothing today on the flying front but I'm going to get lots done this week. I'm definitely in the mood for chucking stuff out etc. DH has finished most of DD's room and put the new furniture in so tomorrow is going to be sorting out her stuff so it's nice when she comes in from school.

    Hugs to you all especially tootles, poorlies, LL and Vanilla (hope your DD is ok).

    Another star please toots!!! I've just done my filing, and as a result, my desk is now clear. So it's only the filter for the hoover to go and I've got a full house for the first time in months :D

    Better go and wash the filter and find some food.
