    Well done on the WW!

    DH has sorted his job, he's going fully s/e but still doing 2 days a week for them and holiday cover, so he gets the best of both worlds :)

    I had a pair of shoes that went out of fashion so put them to charity about 9 years ago but now I wish I hadnt as they are back in again and were in good condition too - definately a pre-LBM :o

    Well done on the weight loss Hypno :j. I stayed the same this week :o.

    Have a similar approach to you re the decluttering. Just threw out a load of stuff along similar lines. All stuff too big :T chucked (with the exception of 1 pair of trousers - depending on where I stop losing weight may splash out & get them altered, they were v expensive :eek: & I do love them). Next went all the stuff that I have kept for years, now fits me & I thought 'why on earth did I keep that pile of junk' :o.

    Taking the same approach to weight loss. Decluttering my body by getting rid of all the bits that look worn out, I'm fed up with or don't suit me anymore :rotfl:
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Done my first little clothes shop since getting back. Got a nice undies set, feminine looking, rather than just the normal practical. Also something not quite on the capsule list, a black linen loose jacket, which will look smart over trousers etc., OH loved it and said it looked smart, and was very mse, original rrp £149 reduced to £29.99 :D I'd spotted a major shortage of jackets/knitwear, so this will be useful until that gap is filled. Undies were also bargains :D

    I actually enjoyed clothes shopping, which is something I never thought I'd say. It could be dangerous though :o

    Anyway, hoping to visit the Clarks Outlet village at Street when we're househunting down there. I know when we get a house I'll want to only spend on the house for a while, so I need to sort out my wardrobe before then.

    Another house for people to look at, unfortunately discovered that there's a railway line at the bottom of the garden:

    Hi Hypno i am running to you for help again!! When i get an overdrawn fee on card (not any more though) It was on bounced dd month! Caught unawares!
    Does it go against be on credit file?
    Thanks in advance. Hope you are well!xx

    I think it depends on the card provider, BTD, I know that credit files will almost certainly show the balance of the card and the credit limit, so anyone looking at it can see you are/were over limit.....but whether it actually gets recorded any more than that, I am not sure.

    Thanks for the nice comments re weight loss, guys.......I was very pleased when I got on the scales because I really did think it was touch and go this week. Am motivated to keep up the good work for a few more days at least!

    The side garden has been de-mossed, generally cleared, and re-seeded, and the back garden has been started. The guttering all round the house has been thoroughly cleaned inside and out too, so that is a useful job done.

    It is starting to look a lot better - still a long way to go, but we are on the way - they are coming back next Weds, and I think it will take another week after that (or put it this way, that is when the money runs out, so what is not done then, won't get done for a while!).

    se - you sound like you got a bargain with that jacket!!
