    great advice there...i also give stuff away to charity shops rather than ebay/car boot stuff..so much easier on the mind.
  • Oh I do give stuff to charity and chuck loads but I am also going to e bay, I know you all mean well but until I pass my test I can't get it to the charity shop myself and I don't like to keep asking Mum and in any case I could do with the cash!

    It will be done.

    Have discovered I have 8 bathroom cleaners. 7 are being chucked, I hate them and have no clue why Mum buys them.
    I need to empty the hoover too. disgusting job. hence the proscastinating here!!

    see you later xxx

  • Give yourself a moment Beanie, I have stopped for lunch after emptying all the bathroom cleaners into a bath of fairly hot water and then added EVERYTHING - all the toiletries and bathroom stuff and crap I have a binliner half full. Any thing that is half used it being chucked!

    once I have finished lunch I continue.

    I can't believe it is 2.pm already, I would like to point out I have touched up the paint and cleaned all the tiles, shelves and windowframe.

    Its such a small room how can it take so long!!

  • Freaky coincedance!

    I have been looking for pictures for my vision board and as I saved the document it came as it already exisiting. I found the other document made 10/8/09.................. almost exactly to the day the pictures haven't changed........ I don't if I should be miserable that I was doing the same thing last year or happy that my goals are still the same!

    Buffy, as you know I have a whole load of "stuff" going on, and various other issues in my life that I never seem to get control of, eg housework blah blah blah.....

    I have recently started having sessions in something called "metamorphic technique" - google it and have a read, and see if it is something that makes sense for you - I have had three sessions over a month so far, and it really is making a difference on the way that I "over think" etc about some of the clutter that was in my head.

    OK, so it is an expense you don't want, (I pay £40 an hour) but for me, the cost of it has been well worth it to help me put things into perspective and to see a bit more where I am heading, if that makes sense.

    And believe me, it is making a huge difference.
