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.

I bought them straight off from BrightHouse. I didn't realise you were able to do this (as it's a pay weekly store) but they were the only ones I found which I really liked so I asked them if I could pay straight off and they said yes

So, did they cost less with the fact that you paid them off straight away. Or, did you have to pay the total price which you would have paid had you paid the sofa off weekly over so many weeks?

NCT sale this afternoon - 70 items listed. Fingers crossed that lots will sell. The dining room is horrendous as a result.

School fetes tomorrow and next week so will send about 6 bin bags off stuff to them!!

NOw up to:
40.41. More toiletries, packaging not recyclable (bin)

Total so far 41 things decluttered, 20 binned, rest recycled etc. Just about keeping on track for getting rid of 150 things in June. Need to buy some clothes (never been too bad at that side of things strangely). But need to start attacking the general stuff that is around.

Happy decluttering. :A

Hi everyone,
I am now officially behind on my target to clear 150 things in June. Been busy (honest!). Will get back to the grind. Some pending out:

- library books to be returned :T

I didn't pay any of the added interest because I was buying them straight off It cost me £750 and I think paying weekly you'd end up paying over £1000 :eek:

Hello peeps!! Everyone's been really busy :T

I spent over 2 hours cleaning my downstairs loo today. I steam mopped the floor, and the door which had yellow splashes on the bottom of it :eek:. It's really lovely and clean now. If only I could get the rest of the house looking like it!


In

• Weekly shopping
• Charity bag

Out

• Nothing:o (but things have been put back in their right places)

I've got a really busy week coming up. My Dad is down for 3 nights on Tuesday, DD's birthday on Thursday, which means making a cake for her party on Sunday (I bought the one for Thursday) and 30-odd cupcakes for her classmates. I've also got my DS1's college art exhibition to go and see some time next week as well. DH and I are going to the cinema tomorrow ~ free ticket to see "The Rebound" at 11am!!

I've been trying to sort out the house and have managed half the front room and the washing today. On the homeswapping, nobody wants to move to my street, and there are 5 other houses wanting to swap as well, so that doesn't make our street look that good.

I'm off for my dinner now (I know it's late) and to catch up on Big Brother.
