    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    I have decided to declutter my wedding dress as it has a catherdral length train and takes up half the bedroom. I have looked into ebeast but they don't seem to sell on there. Anyone know where else I could try?

    Sorry no idea but good luck and well done for making the decision

    Yeah! First list i've completed since forever and it feels pretty good!

    I've done the winter challenge but no-one is home at the moment so not done the first challenge. I've planned what they're all doing though!

    DS - sweep floors downstairs (they've been done once but with two dogs they always need doing again)
    DD - s/s make tea (it's only pizza and garlic bread and she loves being in the kitchen so she'll be happy with that one)
    DH - scrape stairs for me (dog fur city!)

    Then i'll be done. Wooooooooooo!

    Off to sort out accounts now xx
