    Love these threads. Spent a happy hour reading about Kondoing. Off to do todays declutter :)

    My drawers are immaculate - including Mr GG's underweardrawerthatisactuallyahatbox :D.

    Walked to town, did some errands and walked back, via Mr M. Over 7 miles, 16,000 steps and in need of a nanna nap :rotfl:. But also in need of lunch - SW egg, chips & beans eating.gif.

    It was proper lush :D.

    Chub club tonight, lost 1.5lbs over the past month which is amazing considering how many meals I've had out (and how much bread I ate in Spain. With proper butter :o). Obviously the walking is beginning to pay off smiley-sport033.gif (less time to eat :rotfl:).

    Off to posh clothing sale tomorrow night - don't have high hopes of getting anything though :(

    Don't know if you've heard the old joke:
    Prisoner: “Look here, doctor! You've already removed my spleen, tonsils, adenoids, and one of my kidneys. I only came to see if you could get me out of this place!”
    Doctor: “I am... bit by bit!”

    I feel a bit like that - so far the following have escaped from me:
    • Hammock
    • Garden furniture
    • Drawers & magazine rack
    • Curtains
    • Quilt, pillows & bedding
    • 3 chest of drawers & dressing table from my room
    • Paint
    • And about to go - wardrobe, 2nd dressing table & only full length mirror I own

    Your situation is really inspiring me to work harder to be MF at the moment. I have 8 years to try and achieve the dream on our larger mortgage which we should meet but I am finally ready to sit and make a proper plan. Thanks Gallygirl x

    No, I'd not heard that one, Gally :rotfl: and you're getting rid of your only full length mirror? :eek:

    Are you storing anything in this country? It doesn't sound like you are, actually ...

    Yup, one of my better moves :D.

    Nope, apart from a box of paperwork, all going :T.

    Lovely day yesterday, meeting someone artistically challenged for lunch :rotfl: then bought a nice top & cardi in CS :D.

    Yesterday's 'having the time to' moment - left car in car park 1/2 mile away while doing a hospital visit rather than park nearby. Rewarded by the lovely azure flash of a kingfisher in the same place I saw a grey wagtail earlier in the week :T.

    No paint to touch up bed 2 so going to whizz round and give it a quick overhaul. Need to nip out and but some sealer 1st though but CBA :o.
