Jellie wobbles into her MFW journey

I'm sure you're exaggerating there!
Have been running around today taking things to charity shops etc. Am finally starting to see some results from all the decluttering and am motivated to get more done. Need to go to the tip tomorrow and then I can get started on some cleaning as I should be able to see the floor!
Still trying to mainly cook from store cupboards. Trying a new chicken recipe tonight. Need to get a couple of leeks but everything else is already sorted. Am quite enjoying the challenge!
Hope everyone is having a good day x
Strange how may of us have done charity shop runs today. I have got rid of 4 bin bags full. 3 from the loft and 1 full of DD's clothes she has grown out of them. Will try and do the same tomorrow. I would like the loft sorted before I go back to work. This is day 1 of a 14 day break.
I am sure I will see the results soon.
Take Care

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

Sounds like we're getting clutter free as well as mortgage free!
Have just ordered save the date cards for free using the vista print business cards. Anyone know where I could get cheap envelopes that would be the right size?
They've now offered me 100 free postcards so I'm racking my brains to figure out if I can use them for something else weddingy! Don't have enough details yet to use them as part of invites. Any ideas?2019 fashion on a ration 0/66 coupons0 -

Just made a very early morning trip to the tip in the pouring rain- at least there wasn't a queue!
One car load of rubbish gone!

SavingHolmes may I suggest that we kidnap Jellie, GG and Mummy to 'help' with the decluttering? I have a spare room which the contents need clearing, want it empty so we can use it as a music (noise) room....

I've been recording the tv show Clean House and watching it to take a break and inspire me to do more! I've had a major urge to simplify this year!
Good luck with your spare room.
I'm onto cleaning now. Trying to get a stain out of an old mattress for the charity shop to collect tomorrow. The stain is winning! I think they'll turn it down so I'll have to try and cram it in the car to take to the dump!2019 fashion on a ration 0/66 coupons0 -
