    Glad that the fridge is in there this week, i'll look forward to that!

    I'm doing my mentor training again this week on Monday and Tuesday, only one more week to go after this and then I will be ready to go. Which will mean I have an extra night to fly in the week as i will be back to college on a Tuesday.

    Must make a list of "other items" and also contemplate joining the declutter thread.

    I think I have a lot of clutter and usually do car boots with my mum, the unfortunate thing is a lot of clutter was bought by her for us - how can I get rid of stuff without hurting her feelings?

    ETA, thanks to Pigpen, Toots & Soappie for your inspiration and hard work for the weekly thread and daily posts
    It's nice to be nutty but's more important to be nice

    By the way, what happened that you lot gave up on the daily, and came back here? Did we scare you off?:p:rotfl:
