    Am going to do HHC 2.30pm

    Back from City centre having decluttering savings on a new tv. Apparantly we have the worst one in the world. Didn't bother me. I am hoping to get it price matched as I saw the same one elsewhere for £90 cheaper. I still wanted to get where I did due to customer service etc so fingers crossed etc. My DH says I don't buy anything now without turning into MSE. :money:

    Been to the dump run x 2. I went once and hubby went once. Got rid of tons of rubbish from the garden and the never ending bathroom which is not being finished at any point soon....that was said with a very strangled cry!

    I've swept the concrete outside, rearranged the garden furniture, composted lots, relocated the bins and can now see that we need to remove the raised beds as I haven't really used them and they are in the way!

    Washing hung out, it drizzled a bit but is warm ish and dry now.

    I'm off to try and empty the dining room now which has become the dumping room.
