Working from home today but didn't manage any decluttering breaks as spare time was taken up trying to find ways of getting my Best friend back from Bulgaria where he is stranded because of the flight ban. Managed to find him a coach back on Monday - 48 hours journey :eek: but at least he'll be home.

Hi All - Have not posted for a while because:
Been away,
then busy,
then a grotty horrid cold, but I have been tidying and chucking and recycling in between times. We decided to buy the campervan right now, rather than waiting til OH retires because:
We want to enjoy straight away
Lots of people dream and dream and then die before they get to actually do it.
We can (just about, with some shuffling, scimping and saving) afford it.
SO I am rather over excited and it has made me realise that there is no point in hanging on to stuff (that we have had for ages/that was my Mum's "best"/that might come in useful) so I have been being quite radical and shifted a lot of stuff. Must keep at it despite the cold bunging my head up.
XX MMStay clutter-free
No new stuff unless to replace broken items that are essential.
