    Making the most of my day off work whilst DD2 is at nursery and have cleared out under my bed. When I managed to see through all the dust, I have realised just how much carp we have. Operation declutter started an hour ago. My bed is filled with smelllies which I need to sort through and actually start using. I have bundled up a load of my old jewellery making bits such as beads and buttons to list on ebay tonight. Got two piles under neath the loft hatch for OH to put away tonight. One for car boot and one pile of stuff that if he doesn't want it can be binned.

    Feels good, now just cooking the rice for my curry. Will have to remember to take a piccy of that so I can blog about it later.

    Paypal money landed this morning, really annoyed that I have had to let it sit in the account rather than let it go to the OP pot.

    Cleaned out my car this morning and found £1.01 :D

    Two more bits listed on Ebay this morning, more to be photod later if I have the energy. Trying not to stress about money so much.

    Well done on knocking a month off.

    Hope the ebaying is still going well, sounds like you are doing a great job of all the sorting etc.

    A tad hungover this morning, it was my hen night last night, and drank a LOT, but I'm focusing well. May be another story later :)

    4 ebay sales yesterday, only one of which has been paid for already, so waiting on those.

    Going to have a lovely roast dinner in a while, and it'll be back on the mse wagon tomorrow I think.

    It's great to see a month come off yes Pammy, can't wait to manage the next one. It was a great night last night, quiet but still nice to catch up with everyone. I've got some lovely momentoes and memories and that's the most important thing.

    The older I get, the longer it takes me to get over a hangover, almost not worth drinking.

    So Monday and a new week. This morning £6.27 landed from TCB so half to the mortgage pot and half into savings. I have also requested another £35.35 from TCB this morning.

    Listed two items on the local netmums boards, hope they sell and clear some space.

    Aiming to do some decluttering today, DD is going out with a friend in a little while and I can crack on. Still feel a bit iffy though.

    - £2 for a CP survey
    - £3.50 for entering shopping on CP

    So lots of pics been takem for ebay today, will list some tonight. Sold DD's old bed guard today for £5, buyer collected and paid cash so that's waiting to go into the bank and it will be split between savings and OP.

    Still feeling a bit grotty, so I think I'll have an early night tonight.
