    Yes, that's the one pix - it was very sad. This morning I chucked out makeup, old broken bags, scabby boots, scabby clothes, recycled jars (previously collected thinking I would use as tealight holders - I have about 50 tealight holders!!!), dumped a black bag of carp, old TV, empty helium canister, and my son's old college papers. Little and often I think:o

    nattypants hope you and the car are well. Sounds like you have made a good stab at getting rid of all the useless things we all seem to collect thinking were going to use them for another use.

    I can't remember if I said previously, however I had a car break in 3 weeks ago (despite loads of things in the car, the only thing taken was.......my work pass!)
    Anyway, fast forward to today and someone bashed into my car - LBR is really in the wars poor wee thing:(

    Aw poor little LBR - and poor you :kisses3:.

    Yesterday evening I watched a programme about hoarders on iplayer, so this morning I loaded LBR with toot and went to the dump, as well as creating a charity pile - I think I could easily become a hoarder if I'm not careful so have decided to, for once and for all, to mercilessly get rid of unnecessary clutter and reclaim my garage;)

    Natty can you look up a story for me in the local paper from 4th October 1999. You do still have it don't you :eek::eek::eek::eek:.

    Aw, poor old soul wasn't she :(.

    #Weather carp so TD (with internal light:smileyhea) made utility room all cosy and smelling like a laundrette - larve that smell;)

    It's the only thing keeping me going Nats :rotfl:.

    And as for the nobbly bobblies - I've a few in the freezer believe it or not so if supplies get low just pop on down :T.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Is there an easy way to find one's diary? I had to keep going through the mists of time until I finally located this baby;)

    A quick update before I zoom off to work;

    Money in - nada
    Money out - loads

    Veg and plants and twigs all taking shape nicely, so garden looking pretty good (albeit looking sparse on the decking front - MATT??!!!)

    My weight loss is turning back into weight gain, so really must refocus my attention on the lady gym:o

    I did a whack of Uni work yesterday evening, and then promptly lost all as my Internet connection failed (was working via work home access as everything is located there). After crying like a baby, I drunk wine to make myself feel all comfortably numb about said situation.........so am going to work early to try to recoup as many clever words as possible and bang them into the assignment this morning.

    Happy MOPs everyone (don't be like me kids:p)

    NP:D

    NP - once you log in, if you click on your username, it'll take you to your profile, then select the Statistics tab, the 'Find all threads started by Nattypants' and voila. That's the fastest way I've found x

    Depends if you've started loads of threads all over the place. I've hardly started any, so I can always find my diary by clicking on my own name and selecting "find threads started by Lois_E".

    Nice to see you again. Good luck with your assignment. :)
