But not for me...it moves to floor! But that's why I'm here!:o In fact I'll stop this right now and declutter my floor whilst waiting for supper to cook.:D
*goes to look up the definition of floor*
erm.. no.. I don't have one of those.
Magpye.. you get to ice cream decluttering.. then think of all the time you can spend decluttering while you perfect the CV and find another job.LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -
Was verbally told today at work that I am 'no longer needed', being paid a week in lieu, but very unprofessional IMO especially as it was done in front of other member of staff and not in private - one day shy of having worked for them for a year - bit gutted TBH, can't afford to be out of work. Therefore not in decluttering mood! In a 'sit and eat Carte D'Or ice cream' mood.
Sorry to hear that Magpye but you have decluttered the Carte D'or! I am sure you will find something soon but take care of yourself xFree/impartial debt advice: Consumer Credit Counselling Service (CCCS) | National Debtline | Find your local CAB0 -

In: catalogue delivery from Very..of which I'm keeping - a pair of bedroom curtains, 5 jumpers, a top and 2 pairs of trousers. In my defence, they were reeeeeeeeeeeally cheap and needed! total was only £37 :money:
Small bag of shopping from corner shop...not venturing out in car but needed milk, yoghurts and ahem..chocolate :rolleyes:
Also, new boxset of DVDs - Nip/Tuck Season 4. Bought with Xmas money, and I'll list on play or amazon once I've watched it. When they move programmes to sky channels, I seem to lose track of them, so I buy the set then sell them afterwards!
Out::o:o:o:o:o Very little today...just the packaging from catalogue parcels. Stuff ready to go but I've had a real lazy day (apart from a runaround in the snow with DS earlier
)
Will do better tomorrow!GOD BLESS DURAN DURAN

Hi there
This is one thread I MUST keep up with for motivation this year! Our home is so full of cr*p it's shocking. :eek: I'm going to try little things this week, with the aim of tackling bigger jobs from next week. I'm selling some good maternity clothes & lending a few to a pregnant friend, & also giving her 1st size things my baby's outgrown already; then I may be able to see what colour my bedroom carpet is again!
Still need to lose a couple of stones after baby, so hoping that dejunking helps! DH setting up his own business & we need to be much better organised for that, esp as I will be doing some of backroom/bookkeeping work for him.
Out today: nothing, except apathy!
In: bread
See you later & hope to get inspiration from all of you x :jJuly 2024 GC £0.00/£400

Have had a slower week, decluttering wise, as I am back to work.....but I am still working on it, and am trying to declutter my office at the same time......
So:
In:- Nothing at all :T
- A cardboard box that I was keeping birthday cards etc in, except the cards were too big to sit in there without risking damage.
- A damaged photoframe that I never liked anyway
- A jumper that I wore for work today, and realised just how shapeless and baggy it was.......or is it me that is shapeless and baggy? Anyway, the jumper has gone - it is old and really not very nice, or even comfortable :rolleyes:
- pair of tights with too many runs in.

In: 6 tops from housemate
Out: bunch of padded envelopes I was keeping 'just in case'
It's a start!£1600 overdraft

Please may I join in with this too? I haven't been able to find out how it works yet, but I really do need some motivation to declutter. Would someone mind letting me know what the procedure is?
