    Tilly, on the wardrobe thing, having a wardrobe where everything goes is so transformational. I did colour and style analysis sessions a couple of years ago and then cleared out all the "wrong items" and only allow "right" ones back in. I can grab a random top, trousers and cardi and know they all go together. Made an amazing difference to Mr Katsu and I to know what really suits us. I think it saved me money in the longer term as I know to say "no" to bargains that won't suit me and I don't have clothes that nothing goes with.

    Doesn't everyone have a stuffed nana in their attic?


    Mis-read that as
    "Doesn't everyone have a stuffed naan in their attic?"

    and found myself day dreaming about curry :o

    That'll be the mortgage gone then :T

    Or perhaps a relaxing way to spend my Saturday evenings.......perhaps I should look at baking a few more cookies;)

    I think I may have said before, but I have not once been up in my attic since I moved here (approximately year and a half), as a result I have a lovely clutter free attic:D

    Okay, that's enough bragging from me;) well done on the clear out/sorting/skipping achievement tills:T

    Me too, instead I have a whole room that needs sorting :eek:

    I shudder to even think what's in our loft, I think a stuffed nanna or even a stuffed naan would be preferable, I do think a family of Dutch birds have moved in though, there clogs wake me up every morning .... Sigh
  • Morning, I was absolutely weary last night, but couldn't sleep :eek: I kept imagining I was in the loft looking at each box and thinking how tidy it all looked :o

    Anyway, we need to get cracking we're driving up the the Midlands.

    Happy Mothering Sunday

    Hi Tilly, I regularly read your diary but don't think I've ever said hello :hello: before.

    Every free listing weekend I think how I MUST get on and sell some of the stuff that's taken over the house, and when I round down my accounts I call it a Tilly Tidy! So you are a good influence on people you've never even met before.

    Luckily, we never put anything in the loft :T But sadly that's because it's all in the cellar :o

    Have a lovely Mother's Day.
