    Good luck merrymary from me too!

    Since my last post yesterday:

    In:
    • Post that was recycled straight away
    • Pressies for cousins little boy (now out again)
    • Little something for my OH too :rolleyes:

    Out:
    • said presents, a card and paper from stash posted
    • £32 of silver and bronze coins we've collected and my parents - paid into bank - was quite a big pile!
    • cheque and some money we got at Christmas paid into bank too
    Didn't sort my cosmetics in the end - sorted the little spare bedroom and the stuff on the landing outside the door instead which I had planned to do originally. Feel much better for doing that now as we can get to the bed again (was sleeping in it in November when I wasn't well but it got burried a bit since then...)

    Tonights plan is all the stuff on our 2 sets of stairs - it's mostly OH's so hoping he'll have a crack when I'm out!

    I've sorted through my jewellry (jewelery? jewellery? :confused:) and will take that down to the jewellers tomorrow.

    IN - Some holiday brochures, although I imagine they shall be out pretty quickly once we've priced up a holiday!

    OUT - Nothing. Didn't do too much today, well, nothing really. Youngest fell asleep on me at 10.20 so I used that time wisely and caught up on some recordings for a couple of hours!

    Well done for the new jobs and good luck with job applications and cats cast removal (cant remember who said what!).

    Just to add that if you are thinking of selling some of your decluttered goods on ebay then do consider reusing jiffys that you receive deliveries in. I only mention that as an earlier poster binned a load but perhaps she doesn't use ebay.

    To the poster expecting an overseas visitor in March, I have a friend who lives the other end of the country. When we last spoke on the phone, she was remembering when we first moved in and had boxes all the way up the stairs to the kids bedroom (about 5-6 years ago). Didn't have the heart to tell her that we still have them (although some of them have changed)!

    Congratulations, Mary, don't forget to update us on the good news when you get a minute...x

    Glad to see that everyone is keeping up the good work.

    Today I have been working at home again. But back to the office tomorrow :mad: I was hoping to be able to work from home again as well.

    So not a lot done today.

    In: Just some milk, bread and porridge oats.

    Out: Two black bags of cardboard :j and the charity bag that was in the car has made it out the car to the shop.


    The crockery sets I bought over a week are still in the car :rotfl: so still pending to come in.

    All the best everyone.

    Yours

    Calley

    Bought some reduced price children's suitcases from the Holding Company to tidy up my printer cartridges, dvds, masses of usb and other cable plus my desktop PC disks.
