    Paper Gremlins again, are they attracted by the smell of onions

    Nope, not the study this time, the spare bedroom :D. Started off ok, made the bed up and packed away the Xmas stuff. Then it truly became the room of doom as I decided to sort out all the clothes I had in the spare wardrobe, box under bed and drawer. These are in there because they are:
    - evening wear
    - a few things for fancy dress
    - stuff I bought when I lost weight but which I never quite fitted into :o
    - and em........ stuff that SHOULD fit me :o:o.
    So, decided to try them all on :eek::eek::eek:.

    "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fattest of them all?"
    "Do I really have to answer that, lard *rse?"

    Had to stop for a sit down due to the horror of it all :(. Some stuff is going to be ebayed, the rest will be divided into:
    "1/2 stone - 1 stone off clothes"
    "1 - 2 stone clothes"
    "Better keep going if you ever want this baby to fit clothes" :rotfl:

    There is no chocolate. I've already decluttered it. Hence the problem above :o.

    Sympathy about your room of doom, gally. If it's defined as a room that needs majorly tidying and decluttering, then I have four and a half of them. :o

    The room can get decluttered in no time.

    It's the fat I'm carrying that will take longer to declutter :o.

    My minuscule rate of decluttering over the last seven and a half years since I split from X would indicate that I am not capable of decluttering in no time, even if it's possible for other people. :(

    Good luck with getting rid of the fat and the clutter and the mortgage. :)
