Hi All - More of a mental declutter today. Spent most of the time setting up a new broadband and wifi network - grrrr - just teetering on the edge of my understanding! (And discovering what a lot of dust there is on the "office" floor behind the computer and among all the cable spagetti). All sorted now except the printer which is sulking and wont work at all!
XX MMStay 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 eurocents0 -
Didn't have time to do much today but:-
Out: Lots of small items of tat, which had me wondering why the heck I'd kept them, lol, were binned, more paper including newspapers and magazines to recycling, my dad's clean washing taken back to him, dead flowers put in garden waste bin, cardboard packaging to recycling, 3 lots of talc to charity, a couple more items to Freecycle, also a saucepan and 2 baking trays given to my dad.
In: More of my dad's dirty washing, and a letter that was for someone who doesn't live here, which will go back in the post tomorrow.
