  • Hi Guys - On the downside today - my car is sick and being towed tomorrow :-( so thats going to be expensive. :mad:
    On the upside - I went to the craft shop today and only bought a little box (for clutterfree storage) and one bag of beads. On previous visits I would have been staggering out with £50 worth at least. I just seem to have turned a mental corner!
    Since I will be marooned tomorrow I will attack the bathrooms so that will be dining room, sitting room, study, kitchen, bathroom, shower room and our bedroom "done" (and maintained clutterfree) so far.
    Woo (as they say) hoo!!!:T
    Stay clutter-free
    No new stuff unless to replace broken items that are essential.
    £2 savings pot (started Oct 09) £182 so far (£100 of which is banked)
    Roadkill jar (found money) 87p and 20 eurocents

    Just wondered - whoever sent their stuff to GreenTec (sorry forgot who and too lazy to trawl thru the thread) - did you ever get your money?

    That was me, and yes I did get my money!:j
