    Nathans bedroom certainly looks better for a clear out. Still loads to do though

    Its suprising how much stuff gets accumliated, we are on 6 bags of rubbish from Nathans room at the moment, Dh is still up there sorting cupboards.

    At least he knows what clothes he has now and theres room for the ones that need to be put away

    Back from shops-no luck on the sheep slippers front, but we found a lovely soft pillow/cushion shaped like a sheep,so DD really pleased with that as a gift for her friend. They can take it on the coach to France to snooze on..
    DH and DS arrived at Crystal Palace at 0630,as requested. Didn't get out of the park till 1130, and only arrived in Brighton at 1530!V badly organised apparently...only a minor scare over an oil pump,necessitating a pit stop to check it out..they limped onwards and it seems to have sorted itself now (DH reckons its likely a sticking oil sensor!),how great to have a man who's good with cars...I am a v lucky girl...
    Debt-free...and staying that way...

    I love having a good clear out, my OH and I cleared out our draws and wardrobe and ended up wth 2 bags of rubbish and 6 bags for my mums shop. Oh and one shoe!:rotfl::rotfl:

    I'm trying to stay away from the lure of dc today, as I want to finish the assignment and then tweak it until it can;t be tweaked no more!

    claire, most of mine was clothes and junk and really old paperwork....I'd cleared another couple of bags when I was packing....so cleared a LOT of stuff. Need to go through my tops again though as some of them need binning/CS'ing

    And yay for mechanical man srm! Hope they had a good drive though

    ETA: Have finished three of the five now....will stop for a bit as my wrist REALLY hurts!
