Countdown to Freedom

Morning, delightful grey summer day

12p TT OP

Given that we have stepped into autumn early, I'm making toad in the hole for dinner :eek:

I may have sold another piece of china to the guy at work, whose wife collects the same stuff - may know this week, if not early next. Could be another £80 for the OP pot.

I'm loving this decluttering phase, although I do understand I'm stripping the house of stuff, it leaves a clean/clear feeling in my head - apologies if I sound like a nutter, that's not worded particularly well.

Have a good day and I hope somewhere the sun is shining.

Best wishes Tilly x

Hi Tilly,

Well done on the decluttering another £80 would be great!!

Just with the talk of [EMAIL="halif@x"]halif@x[/EMAIL] rewards I've just realised they didn't put mine in this month, I did set up the DDs although maybe a bit late were definitely set up before the end of April and they have been coming off. i will keep an eye if nothing next month I will close account although a free fivers not to be sneezed at.

:rotfl: I don't think I could live a minimalist life style but I am enjoying getting rid of stuff

Is that the same woman who has made previous purchases from the Tilly collection?

I know exactly what you mean about decluttering, I firmly believe that possessions can become a psychic burden! By that, I don't mean the toaster is reading your mind

I wish I knew someone that collects LOR goblets I have a fab collection which if I got the right offer would sell ... Sigh the things we buy when we don't think about money lol

It's great getting decluttered I seem to be able to go so far then get stuck or a wee bit, maybe I need a professional de-clutterer Tilly do you fancy a busmans holiday ooop north ?

Gawd, I seriously need to declutter. I spent £1000 on having lovely wood flooring put down (70% off retail price - bargain) and I can't see it because of all the boxes of "stuff" that take up so much space.
I've seriously got Hoarder Syndrome. I keep everything - it's embarrassing when folk call for coffee. LOL

I also need to declutter (I expect most people do). We had people in to measure for carpets the other day and I thought they would have the digital reader, but no came with a good old fashioned tape measure. I was slightly embarrassed at the clutter we had pushed to the sides of the rooms.

It is and I have a special piece,of the same type, which I think she may like. Twenty years ago I collected a particular type of porcelain - Hungarian - and she seems to have caught the bug. I really did like it but not sure now, why I bought so much. However, I would keep a couple of examples but that would be all.

Honestly Mr E, at the beginning of this year I felt, in fact we all did, weighed down by stuff and it was quite a weird feeling. Once we had emptied the loft and sorted that out, it made a massive difference. This meant the whole house seemed to be upset by stuff everywhere and it made it easier to tackle a room at a time and CS, eb@y, out in the car boot pile, or skip.

Right, I'm off for a very rare glass of wine - Tilly x

If I was to come for coffee and you apologised for stuff all over my response would be, "don't be daft I've come to see you, not your house Hun"
I'm a bit of a hoarder and I've found the people who matter don't mind and the people who mind don't matter!
