    not interested as its someone trying to sell their book indirectly


    No it's not actually, I'm not connected with the author etc, I purchased the book and just looked up the website, looked interesting so thought I'd post it here. You can look at the website and see what's there, don't really need to buy the book. Moneysaving way would be to get it at the library. Just posting something I thought people would be interested in. Nice to get such positive vibes too.

    From what I saw, it looks very much like the FlyLady way of doing things.

    Except, FlyLady gives you all the tips free, then if you want to buy the paraphenalia (sp?) you can, but you don't need to.

    You could get it from the library. :-)

    2 more Ebay items sent this week, another one sold today and 2 other items with bids, which finish over the weekend. Yesterday I put together 2 bathroom storage racks, that we bought about 2 months ago, so they are now being used, bathroom is much tidier, and the boxes are ready to go to recycling centre, fruit juice carton emptied and binned, another bin bag of clothes ready to go to charity shop.

    Today, I sorted out the drawer in my telephone table, and got rid of 3 pen tops, 2 non-working pens, and a few other random bits (binned), about 12 taxi business cards and some junk mail (recycled) and I found the handle for the glass door on my hi-fi unit, (which has been missing for about 2 years since I took the unit out of the shed and started using it again), so result, lol! Also finished bottles of Stardrops, toilet cleaner and shower gel(recycled), a sachet of body lotion, a roll on deodorant and toothpaste (binned).

    Interesting find ;) As it's slipped from the front page of OS, I'll add it to the existing declutter thread where it might help others :)

    Forgot that yesterday I bought 3 t shirts from Primark - grand total of £4.50! I need to be able to tuck them well in, I'm allergic to the metal you find on the inside of jeans studs :( I did manage to chuck out one t shirt this morning in recompense :D

    Where are you getting your new settees from? I desperately need a new sofa/suite etc, so any advice that you can provide is much appreciated. Website info if possible, thanks.
