    Morning Hypno, I checked out your site and will of course be donating.

    Hope you get through your "To Do" list - it looks full-on! Have a good run :)

    Morning hypno,

    glad to see the decluttering is going well, I now have an empty understairs cupboard and waiting for it to be decorated so I can use it properly.

    Me too! I want to go for the DT and hypno style capsule thing, rather than an assortment of clothes in sizes from 12 upwards.

    Oh I'd *love* to get that capsule wardrobe thing going on .... when I move, all my clothes will be in one room, and even with the amount of decluttering I've done, its 2 wardrobes and a chest of drawers, counting anoraks/coats :( Not that I've bought a lot recently - its just that I've hardly thrown stuff away, for instance I have maybe ten T shirts that are more than 10 years old :(:o HELP

    I retired quite a lot of items lately on the grounds of age: I remembered that the socks were bought in the Gap in Athens Georgia in 1996 and some stuff a few months later... on one hand, it was fabulous that it had lasted so long but, on the other, it wasn't good for the energy flow... a kind of "I'm not worth it" message:D

    The Capsule Wardrobe is on the agenda and I even ironed yesterday. Well, that and watching True Blood on Blu Ray... Team Bill, all the way:rotfl:

    Thats it, shortbird, thank you! Most of those t shirts are made from really good quality cotton, which is partly why they've lasted - but they've looked obviously outdated for the last 6 years, and I've been feeling really frumpy wearing them :o there's definitely an "I'm not worth it" thing going on too, amongst the moneysaving and acknowledgement of quality.

    It had not occurred to me either, but it is a very true thought that has been me for a very long time too.

    So.....run done - 7 miles, and student deposited.....just going to have a quick coffee and then a shower, then I will carry on with something from my list.....prob the two boxes that I have vowed to declutter from the garage so I can head to the tip at least once today.

    Karma...why didn't i think of the i'm not worth it bit ..it rings true now thinking about it..lol...really must do some decluttering myself but will be baby steps.could've kicked myself thursday as there would've been enough room in the bin for a whole binbags worth.

    Its fantastic what you're doing hypno as charitities are suffering in the recession as well and they do a good job.they really helped me when first diagnosed with that grant.

    Well, I promised that I would run for you, Taxi, so run I will! I've not set a big target, but if I can raise a few ££ then someone will benefit in the same way that you did, and it will be worth it :D
