    Hello :wave: Please can I join in ?? I am currently on flylady and de cluttering threads and this would help me also , like stated I will notice more if I see it as 10 steps a day that I achieve

    To start me off I rang my landlord yesterday and arranged a later payment date , as I get stressed every month about payment date due to lack of funds until a week later and never seem to catch up to get in front :( However they have agreed so I feel lots more positive today and raring to go :)

    So for today my steps will be
    1. walk the dog - done :)
    2. hoover & clean around downstairs :)
    3. list items on ebay :)
    4. sign up / take a look into pre loved - Does anyone have any luck on this website for selling unwanted items etc ??? :)
    5. wash clothes :)
    6. dry clothes
    7. put away clothes { I already have a large pile }
    8. put stuff in the loft :)
    9. take stuff out of the loft for getting rid of on ebay :)
    10. speak to a few friends on the phone I haven't contacted for a while :)
    I will pop on again later to see how everyone is doing and hopefully have a few smiles to add connie_mini_boybye.gif
