    HELP! I've started to de-clutter. Didn't think there was much as have done it before (quite recently) - how wrong can you be.

    I question why last time I did it I put it all away neatly?:eek: Maybe I wasn't ready to embrace the universe then. I feel a large free-cycle coming on.

    Finds so far:
    30 empty CD boxes
    15 out of date PC games
    2 instruction manuals and reciepts for gadegets that have long gone.
    1 never played CD
    1 Pool cue(in case)
    1 Sky box
    1 Car stereo
    4 spare pillows (thought I'd given them to my son so bought new ones)

    All this from the spare room which is hardly used:eek:

  • Hi MG and Everyone

    MG - can't wait to hear all the good news from last night / yesterday

    hypno - I am very interested in your downloads but at the moment I have no mp3 player or ipod (never had either). I have been hoping to get an ipod as I want to start running and find it easier with music as with my crazy shifts there is no-one I can run with most of the time. However as ever budgets are tight at the moment so I will look into this in the future.

    Please can everyone send me positive vibes - my car broke down this morning which is going to make the next few days very awkward for getting about but mainly I am hoping it is a very minor fault and so the bill will be very small - fingers crossed.

    Souk - thank you soo much for the offer re. wardrobe decluttering. What are your prices like and then I can start to work out a budget?

    Mg could I also please check if I am on your matrix - think I PM'd you?

    I am sure I wanted to reply to others too but am still getting up to speed with the thread so I am sorry if I missed you off.

    Taka I think you need to set up a website ;) if you haven't got one. If you have set it as your home page

    If you need help give me a shout, I'm with mr site beginner pack £20 a year or if you want to, send pics descriptions to me and i'll do it for you.
    Claire - Thank-you for your offer of help but my brother (a website designer) and my Dad (a computer bod) have both offered help in the past so I think it would be easier to set it up in conjunction with them. Thanks for the Mr Site info and thanks so much for the offer... maybe someone else needs a hand?

    dirtyepic - I found THIS book really helpful for depression. It has a several week mini course on CD with the book too which is really helpful too. Good luck.

    No probs, but I still think you need to set up a website :) There are a few members here that are interested in your jewellery, plus even though I make my own, i'd buy too as its completely different.

    Just updating the website with the new earrings then i'm going to crack on with the orders. Its like xmas here opening bead parcels ;)
