    More done tonight - thousands of pictures weeded on laptop, multiple copies removed, some chosen to print, the rest backed up onto external hard drive & cd. My eyes have gone square but I.ve had a lovely time with memories :)

    We really do need to get on with the decluttering, I've listed some stuff on Ebay this week and filled a binliner for the charity shop too, but our attic is FULL to bursting.

    5 stale granola bars to bin - I love granola bars but I'm doing Slimming World so if I'm going to use my syns it will be for red wine not granola bars :D
    Stale oatcakes to bin - see above!

    A few things listed on ebay but not as much as I would have liked.

    Reading through the posts, my next declutter session will be handbags (and contents) and photographs, especially the scenic ones that I have no idea where and when they were taken.

    I spent over 4 hours sorting all our financial stuff; bills, statements, receipts, insurances. Bonus is We forgot OH has been putting into work sharesave scheme (comes out of pay so we forgot) so added that to our accounts statement! An extra £490 on the savings side :0)

    Also found student loans statement- still 8.5k booo!

    But two huge bags full if non confidential paper waste to the bin, one large pile for shredding- only issue is we dont have a shredder! Ooops!

    Thanks for the inspiration. Off to the charity shop with another huge pile of clothes :-)
    First home- Oct’16 until June’21: £170.995- Overpayments made £13,784 (25% extra!).
    New forever home- Sep’21 £309,449 @ 2.05%. Plan to clear it before 30 years!!!!!!
