    Managed another bin bag to CS :) I now have more empty clothes hangers than ones in use:j: Also got rid of some bedding - blankets and 2 single duvets on F**cycle:D Still lots to do in bedroom room re declutter - OH clothes, chest of drawers, bedside cabinets x2 ,large cupboard, 4 drawers under bed and book shelves and large storage area behind clothes hanging area:(.............never mind a vacuum and dust - wont get it finished today as have other mundane, pressing day to day stuff to do too.

    Tesco back to school vouchers - all for money off/extra points for stuff they are promoting for school packed lunches. My:mad: with it is that its all processed rubbish - when did cheese ever become string? have you ever looked at how much that highly coloured plastic stuff is per kg. Much cheaper to by 'real' cheese. Also loads of stuff claiming to be 'free from XXX' but if you look carefully stuffed full of other carp! Just makes me really:mad:

    Freezers sorted and list made and also DD2 organized food cupboards for me and made list.....should now be easy to make a meal plan for next week.

    Got some shuffling round to do with CC - have a promo ending today but wondering if to wait and see what they offer me in September..............decisions decisions

    Bleurgh! 2 days back at work and I ache all over. Frogs back tomorrow and dont really feel ready for the onslaught:( One turned up today and mummy frog was not happy............'I have had him for 6 weeks at home' I so wanted to say 'Really? He is your child after all................:mad:' But I resisted.

    A few 0% deals to play around with for CC reshuffle - cant think at moment so will look at it at weekend.

    Wow you are doing well with decluttering.

    DD went back on Monday. They seem to gave been the only school that did and I now see why they have inset days at the beginning of term! The secretary was so stressed. She had deliveries taking over her office, parents trying to get the uniform they had ordered (which was in one of the said boxes) it was just chaos. She could have done with an extra day just to get herself sorted.

    Hope your day goes well today x
    Goals for February

    Wide awake! This is the result of a week of early nights and 6 am starts - body clock gone haywire - oh and a large cup of tea at 9.30pm - cant do late caffeine but suddenly had a yearning..........no idea why cos I am not a huge tea or coffee drinker - 2 cups coffee at weekend and about 3 cups of tea during week!

    Will do some financial number crunching and that should send me off................:)
