    Tired and feeling a bit grumpy. Need an IV filled with Red Bull. Will attempt the decluttering of handbag at some point. I expect there to be more receipts, some extra strong mints covered in fluff and an assortment of cheque books and paying in books etc. But then again this is just the CURRENT handbag. The one I used over winter still has stuff in it. And probably the one before that. And the one before that. :o

    WOW - day 2 and 6 pages!!!

    delurking momentarily...

    reporting on here seems to make acheivements more tangible!

    decluttering of sticky notes now done - list made and prioritized!

    have also cleared off my desk at work and will work my way through the piles of paper each day while the grand puba is on holiday!

    goodness does a tidy desk feel good!

    bills in wallet...

    well to echo an earlier sentiment - nothing to organize when it's thin air:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    am about to pop onto the online banking instead and have the daily trawl to make sure the money is set up to go where it needs to be on the correct day!

    I found a M&S card too but reckon there'll be pennies rather than pounds on it :( My purse is clean and cleared out of cards I rarely use, but my brain and standard donor cards are tucked away in there :) I have 1x £5 note that I want to make last as long as possible, ok need to make last as long as humanly possible......credit card slips are starting to come in from our last days of holiday last week and OMG it's scary, France is now so expensive :(

    My decluttering started okay, in that I now have 2 carrier bags of books for the charity shop and a small bag of DD's clothes and some trainers to give away. Shame the house needs a couple of skips outside for it to make any noticeable difference!! I even managed to clear one small worksurface in the kitchen, which I then promptly dumped a pile of papers that need to be sorted onto......!!

    Anyway, little steps will turn into huge leaps I hope :)

    Well I have decluttered my purse, only a few receipts very few notes.

    Just alittle about myself,
    Have been lurking on the last thread for awhile and quite enjoyed it.
    I have recently been diagnosed with Restrictive Lung Disease ( never smoked in my life).So over the next few weeks I will have more tests to see how advanced it is.
    I have quite a cough and cant walk very far with out stopping as I cant get a breath. I cant get air into my lungs.

    Over the next 18 months we are going to be moving into a bungalow, as by then stairs will be too hard for me.
    I have decided to stay very postive about this, as its not going to go away only get worst.
    I now listen to a mediation CD every morning and night. Go for a short walk every day even in the rain. Started to read some very postive books.
    As we will be moving we also have to get rid of alot so this month I will start my declutter.
    Yesterday give two table lamps we wont need to a friend, today I will go through my shoes and give what I dont need to charity.
    Shoes were my vice.;)
    Plus at the same time get rid of the debt we have.

    Good morning :)

    Still feel shattered, but at least I can walk better today. Wasn't pleasant yesterday not being able to put one foot infront of the other without losing my balance and extreme pain :(

    Have managed to get down stairs fairly clean, just a few loads of washing to do and some clothes upstairs put away. plus tidy the master bedroom.

  • Morning Matrix. All gone nuts at the coal face today... so not posting much. Getting there slowly though. Need about 15 times more energy and positivity than I have available in my reserves, and I am officially melting cos its too hot. :( Sorry...whinging again.

    Love to all. Hugs to everyone who needs them.
