    We started the great task of decluttering DDs bedroom... started and gave up after the wardrobe... but have a bag to try to sell on f/b sellers, a bag for charity and new school jumper for old school - which take in to see if they want for a spare at school.

    All got left my room to sort - is bedroom draws and the chair...

    Then DDs room considering she has the smallest room, - feels like she has the most stuff! xx

    Well done on the progress you have made in decluttering things.

    As regards the amount of stuff your DD has, that seems to be the way with children. They always seem to have much more stuff than the rest of the household. I convinced my DS to part company with stuff he wanted to hold onto by introducing him to car booting - he doesn't mind parting with his stuff if he gets paid hard cold cash for it - he bought himself an xbox one with the proceeds of selling his stuff last summer at car boots :D :money:

    Have a lovely time in Wales.

    Unfortunately debt busting has had to take a back seat - my fathers been taken seriously ill he's in intensive care he had a burst bowel but there's major complications can't really explain fully in full view.

    I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has supported me and helped me on the debt free journey - the debt free on hold but still pop by and update etc xx
