freakyogre ~ ouch, hope your Dad is ok now. This decluttering lark is really dangerous, what with Janebo’s ankle and now your Dad…

Agree purplevamp (love the smilies btw!) - decluttering is a dangerous pasttime - how often do we move things around thinking it will be OK? - also DIY disasters can be very bad.

freakyogre - I hope your Dad is feeling better soon - get the arnica cream out for when his finger starts to bruise - my foot has already turned yellow and din't go very black and blue at all :T

Be warned everybody and take care :rotfl::rotfl:

Does anyone have any experience of getting ££ for old european currancy? I have quite a collection of D marks and F Francs and some other bits ... and I would really like to change them to ££ and add them to the campervan fund

ebay can be a place to get rid of some - it depends on the actual coins as to how much you get. I've just had a womble about on there (thanks to you:T) and have found a banknote that I've got (same year) that sold for £50!! Hmm - wonder what I'm listing next free listing day!!:rotfl: I have a large collection of old/ foreign coins and would be happy to get whatever for them, to be honest!

yesterday - IN food shopping plus stocked up on washing powder & eco-friendly spray cleaner, and loads of juice etc (had a £4 off for £40 voucher), plus couple bits for kids to use as prizes etc (inc Madagascar 2 DVD for £1 - labelled at £3 but scanned at £5 so got double difference back, yay!)
3x dresses for DD - gift from friend (lovely lovely dresses too )
2x post

OUT not a lot, just a few bits card/paper to recycling as spent most of evening in walk-in with DS (& DD had to come too ofc...) so they were in bed really late hence no time to do stuff really

DONE 2xwashes (one was duvet, one bedding lol), washing up x1

today:

IN 2xpost (INC school pace - preferred school yay! unfortunately child's best friend got the other one tho)

OUT lots of jars n bottles to recycling
paper/card bits to recycling
some hair to bin!! only trim tho lol

DONE 3x washes, 1x washing up, fun cooking with kids, all bedding now changed at least once in past week (Kim & Aggie would be pleased with that lol)

MUST get more done tomorrow prior to tenancy inspection/invasion of the half-siblings... be much easier if kids hadn't worked out that a good way to get mummy to leave what I want to do & read to them is to tell me they need toilet & want a book...

Megs mum ~ It really does make a difference not having to face last nights washing up in the morning doesn't it?

Just an observation ~ but I've noticed I'm a very late poster here! Most of you post at a reasonable hour!! I am a bit of a night owl and hate going to bed. I'll probably be up for another 2 hours at least!! ~ just noticed plimsoll is a late nighter as well

Oh inaminute, that's bad news. Sorry to hear it. How much notice have you been given?

Well for me, a day at home looking after my sick dd (2) -although she's fine now tbh - which means I can't work and as I'm self-employed, no worky=no money. Hey ho. So I have taken a large pair of shears to the front garden and hacked all the overgrown bushes right back including a very rampant lavender which was practically knocking on the front door and a large rosemary. So if that counts as decluttering then I have done some!

I have just ordered some books from the book people (though some were presents) but I promise to declutter my books v soon so that I have somewhere to put these shiny new ones when they arrive!

Hope the rest of you of having a productive day.

Hi Peeps!
I am a new person to this thread. have done ALSORTS since reading the start of this thread! I am only up to February so far so I know have a long way to go!
Given me loads of ideas and already sorted out "that" drawer today
took me a while! but I now have about 3 hours shredding to do:o

Just read this post about books. there is a site (might have been posted before or ater the post I have just read.....if so Sorry!) that helps you swap books you have for other books you want. you just have to pay postage
I have been using this site for a few years now. its brill!!!
