    Not as much as you think................:o

    Well I suppose its relative. We bought it new 25 years ago for a 4 figure sum and I think we should get about £600 So not bad for almost constant use and loyal service.:)

    Good luck with the work on the house - and hope your conservatory roof gets sorted quickly!


    Have been watching a few of the KM videos and trying to get on a roll with reducing stuff myself - finding it hard to be ruthless though :o ...maybe haven't quite had the LBM for stuff yet.

    Quiet day today after yesterdays busy declutter sheds day. Exhausting and emotional at times. So some errands to run not least a trip to recycle centre and CS. DD 2 has offered to help around house - she has had nose in revision last few days but I think she picked up on the emotions yesterday,so I bit of a break for her and some help for me.

    Also banking some cheques,adding up the loose change pots and some PADding to be done:money:

    Have a huge piece of written work to write up for work. Have been putting it off...........

    Lost my oomph today.........looking for it now. Just a little overwhelmed at what I am trying to achieve at the moment.Sometimes I wish I wasn't so bloody minded about it all.
    Onwards and upwards!

    Oh Igamogam, could you break down the Kondoing into smaller chunks?
    Marie K says that a true declutter of a house can take up to 6 months.
    You do not need to achieve everything all at once - can you pick the most urgent things to do, like the school work that needs doing and then pick a category to sort for Kondoing.
    And in between keep hydrated and well fed for energy.


    Are you trying to do too much given your ill health? Holidays from work are not meant to be constant work at home, you need a break from it all as well.

    A bit of oomph back now - amazing what cleaning kitchen can do! Rehydration now EE and I am waiting for the loss adjuster to arrive to look at conservatory roof .........hope its before 12 because need to take DD2 to work.

    EE I am kinda working on what has to be done now ( big building project starts next week) as when at work there is no time in the week. I have given myself until end of August to be fully kondoed.....definitely the long haul konomarie method here:rotfl: Work related stuff I am tackling in evenings - I can think better then.Just need to get it all emailed off by Sunday

    Crikey! Ill health!!!!!?? I don't consider myself as having ill health:eek: I have an inherited condition that was slapped on me last year out of the blue but I am certainly not ill. I need to lose some weight - a priority once I am fully KM'd and something that I think will happen more easily/naturally then and I certainly know when it's time for the next magic jab.....but not ill:D

    Right fluids taken on board.Off I go again:p

    Loss adjuster been. Nots sure if we will go ahead with claim - £200 excess. He wanted me to book the job with him and pay £200 up front.................:eek: Er I think not.I asked for report and quote first. Cheeky sod asked, with a smirk, if I thought I could get job done cheaper locally. Yes I said without hesitation. I dont think he was ready for me being so direct:mad:
