I posted 20 parcels today! Feel great that they are gone but still plenty left to be sold! I have no motivation or energy to do anything at the moment, but sure after some lunch my energy will come back

sorry to just randomly turn up! /QUOTE]

Lovely to have you here. I've been away for a few days, but found I missed you all!

This morning freecycle was good for me:
1 microwave
2 wooden chairs that a previous recycler didn't turn up for
1 ramekin broken (and binned) as I was cleaning and testing the microwave - my fault, not the mv.

All my visitors turn up today but on Monday something totally unexpected will hopefully be leaving the garage. I'll report more when it happens.

I've just shredded about 1000 pages of paper. Now what to do next... hmm...

Tackled the paperwork today, goodness me there was a lot of it.

A carrier bag of paper to recycle and a carrier bag to burn! Did consider shredding but there is so much I think the motor will burn out

I've said this before, but I really am loving the new uncluttered look of the house, and putting everything away in its own place. It's also a great weight off my mind to know that all the craft stuff and sewing stuff is out of the house and being used by people who will actually use it, and not just look at it and drool over it!

Once you get started and can see results it get easier, doesn't it? Well done for letting go of the craft stuff!

hello.........

I read but no longer post, I did join in January but we had Ofsted and from that point onwards life was crappy - not massively crappy just stressful and hard bloody work to manage everything.

I read one of my early posts and to my horror my cluttering situation has not changed at all.

In fact it has got far worse!

I have had five weeks off work and only have one left.....

I did clear out my wardrobe - bag of clothes to charity but now need to move on to the rest of my stuff.

So I pledge this weekend to clear my room. I will report on progress later today.

sorry to just randomly turn up!

I go back on Tuesday and wish I'd started to sort out the loft 5 weeks ago! I might get it finished by then, but if not, I can do an hour here and there. Little and often might be the way for us?
Hope the room clearing went well

I wanted to sort the crap in our loft while we had no children here but OH insisted on visiting his family so it hasn't got done another year!! it is so annoying!
