OMG, how did you manage that?

I am in a process of decluttering so I shall come here for displacement activity when it gets too much. But now I need more coffee before I really get started. "See" you soon.

Hi Marru

I downloaded loads when I first got it, and now I get an email every day telling me about the new free books available which I often submit to a few. Because I haven't been using it, then I don't remove any.

Good luck with the decluttering and do pop in whenever

Do you know how far back you can claim on this for jwil ? And how to go about it if you can claim back over 6 years ago ta x

I don't know to be honest - I just used the guide from here on the main website. I still have the card in question, though I cancelled the ppi a few years ago - that was still within 6 years though.

DH had ppi on a loan from way back, and I'm going to do that even though it is well over 6 years ago. He still has all the paperwork for this though, so I'll have the details.

I'm just going to send off what I've got, and let them make the decision. I'm not going to expect anything, and if I do get something it will be a bonus. I figure at worst it's going to be the cost of a stamp, at best something will come of it!

Hmmm still not really done anything . It's not even that I've been relaxing either, I'm not sure where the day's gone :huh:

DH wants to go out tomorrow as well now, it's not something I want to do but I'll keep him company, so it looks like I won't be achieving huge amounts this weekend. Oh well, I'll probably get on with some magazine decluttering tonight, they are annoying me

You got loads done last week though hon so a rest may help make sure you don't burn out. plus i bet you've achieved loads today - i actually don't feel like i've got much done at all but by listing alot of what i've done i know i've at least got some stuff out of the way

Loving your monthly lists too :T It does help keep me focused - though now i've got some of the easier stuff done i guess i'll have to address the 'bigger things' *gulp*

I'm off to the carboot again tomorrow though with the weather i'm not sure how successful this weeks rummaging will be - are you booting this weekend too ?

I really haven't done anything today, not relaxing or productive. It's been a weird one really.

The lists do help me too, and I've had a good go at the magazines tonight so that will help.

It's going to be very wet here I think, so no booting for us this weekend sadly. Hope you find lots of nice stuff!

Hi all - hope everyone is well. hi hiddenidentity too.

I am missing the posts from peaceandfreedom and ebayqueen - hope they're both ok x

Hope you've had a nice day jwil

Weather stayed dry for the carboot - and warmer than last week but not hot which was good Not sure if the weather in the week put some sellers off though. Managed to pick up a few things - including a book :T Always prefer to get something if i'm up so early - especially after i hardly had any sleep last night x
