  • Thanks CMD, to be fair it's not a massive amount but I doubt I'd have had the impetus to clear it this fast if I hadn't confessed on here! Looking forward to starting the moving out savings though :D

    Good luck with the list! This is my favourite task :rotfl: sometimes I feel like exercise is an unknown quantity that's just beyond my understanding. I'm fairly sure I'll never love it, but I do like your greeny colour!

    Lol, made me laugh! Let me know how you feel! :D

    I like sorting out my handbag, makes me feel better once it's done. Same with sorting out my purse.

    What stuff have you gotta take down the charity shop? Could it be ebayed or have you had enough of ebay? Everyone I know seem to get right bargains in charity shops but everytime I go in there it's well expensive.

    I was gonna take a load of books down to the charity shop but I've decided to do a car boot in the summer and sell them for like 50p each instead!

    Don't panic, just the thing where you say what techniques you've used etc - you've done it but I hadn't brought a pen that day so just sort of sat there making mental notes :o

    I just said on Poddle's thread, I've devised a half mile route from my house so just going to start with that and see if I can do it without stopping. I've never run before so am pretty scared!!

    A lot of it is stuff that's been relisted and relisted and I'm just sick of the sight of it to be honest! Might try ebay again in a few months to help with the moving fund but we'll see!

    Have you ever looked at www.readitswapit.co.uk ? You list all the books you've finished with and can request swaps from other people's lists, you just pay the postage - doesn't declutter but it's a cheap way of getting new books!

    You are doing great on the OD challenge.

    We are going to take all our stuff down the charity shop if I can't sell it at carboot later in the year as just clutters the place up!
  • Running feels like your lungs are turning inside out.

    Spent most of the evening getting my breath back and talking to OH on the phone and somehow it got to 10pm and I hadn't done anything constructive apart from sort the charity stuff out. *sigh*

  • OK, work is very very busy , which is sort of good as it means I'm not bored but sort of bad for all the little tasks I try and get done whilst at work!

    Just a couple of things I want to get done this afternoon:

    - Ciao review with pics
    - Text for sewing folder
    - Food Focus
    - Tidy up before going out tonight

    (Notice these are all greeny things from yesterday, augh I'm hopeless!)
