    I did that - got rid of the desktop before Xmas and then slung out the cluttered desk;) Something went wrong with the computer so rather than get it fixed I just packed it away up the attic - we all have laptops anyway. Much nicer without the cluttered desk in the kitchen/diner. I bought a little cupboard instead which is much neater!
    Mind you - my laptop lives on the dining table with books surrounding it...I have a mouse too as it's easier...I'm so old:rotfl::rotfl:


    I just love decluttering.

    I would need to use a proper mouse still too. We're not old...just more hands on ;)

    I agree it wasn't so great tonight. There was no stupid family to take the pee out of.

    A lightbulb has just exploded in the kitchen and shattered all over the floor :eek: Scared the life out of me. Good job I wasn't standing under it like I was just 20 minutes ago......off to hoover up now :o

    Excellent pole class tonight - after about 12 weeks I can finally do a handspring (kind of handstand up the side of the pole). Very pleased with myself :D

    Got home to find a letter from Sainsburys about my home insurance including my £40 vouchers :j That will come in handy for tomorrow's food shop.

    Pay day on Tuesday - can't come soon enough....

    Got some maintenance today :j looks like it's going to be the same scenario as before and they are going to pay it as and when they feel like it. This was only 2.97 weeks worth so not a full minthly amount.

    Am being a bit excessive today - just had Thai curry for lunch at the pub and tonight WLM is coming round to cook another one :D I will have to get another 4 runs in next week too....

    Still only £27.15 on OnePoll :(

    Just been for first run of the week. I needed to if only to work off the TWO curries I had on Friday :o

    Won an ebay auction for a flowery dress. Got it for £3.20 in the end. I can probably wear it in summer, over jeans and with tights and boots in the winter. Just hope it fits when it arrives :D

    My Boots eyeshadow parcel arrived this morning. The colours are lovely - probably more suitable for going out but gorgeous all the same. Two can be put aside for presents.

    I bought some magazines at the weekend. I bought In Style with a free Nails Inc nail polish. The colour is a nude brown kind of colour. It's lovely and goes on really nicely. Its rrp is £11 and the mag was only £3.70 so bargain. The other one I got was Living (something or other, Jen Aniston on the front) and it had a free Cath Kidston bag, only big enough to put a magazine in but pretty all the same.

    Ta Da List

    £28.15 on OnePoll

    Hoovered downstairs

    Wiped over woodwork

    Dusted corners of room for cobwebs (loads :o)

    I'm feeling a bit piggy today. We went for lunch at a curry house today for someone's maternity leaving do. This was my 4th curry in 5 days....shocking.

    Going to watch Jool Holland in a little while. I think Blondie is going to be on, not sure if she will be singing or not. I have loved Debbie Harry since I was about 5 :)
