    Have seen your garage of treasures - that's enough thanks :D.

    Despite staring really, really hard at my spreadsheets this morning the mortgages have not disappeared :(. My little book with the hidden passcode for the one account not on my money manager has however disappeared :think:.

    Taking it slowly isn't working. I declutter slowly, and my kids reclutter the rooms fast! :(

    But thanks for the encouragement. I will keep trying.

    Great diary GG - I haven't managed to read it all but will keep trying. I have started my own MFW diary and am reading round everyone elses and robbing ideas for saving money!:o
    Love your diary - very funny and I greatly enjoyed some of the pictures (not all of the pictures) some I had no idea who they were! Thanks for giving me a laugh and brightening up a rather dismal evening:T
