  • Check you out decluttering already!! Off to catch up on some washing and tidying upstairs. I did downstairs yesterday.....nothing much can do apart from this given the horrible rain :(

    HAPPY NEW YEAR :) xxx

  • Happy New Year to two of my fave MSE'ers :D:D:D

    Bit of a spendy couple of days as I have spent £95 on hubbys birthday and ordered a few clothes for me....however I only plan to keep one new top so most will be going back.

    Pay day today! Woohoo! I needed it!

    I am up to 134 things decluttered now :D We don't really hoard anything so I am suprised I am finding so much.
    I desparately need to do DD1's bedroom but she is a hoarder of pointless tiny items so I can't have her in the house when I do it.

    I am thinking I may send hubby with Daughters to MIL's for tea like normal on sunday and I will stay home and get on with her room.

    Off to SIL's tonight to have some drinks and play some board games. We then hope for a cooked breakfast in the morning and then a nice long walk to hide some geocaches. So a cheap New Years Eve for us.

    Have a great evening everyone xxxx

    We are going to have a great 2013! I know it :j Hopefully babies for Happy and Choc and a baby Tortoise for me :)

    Right my resolutions

    1. Try my hardest to become debt free
    2. Lose 2 stone!
    3. More quality time with the kids including one on one time
    4. Declutter the whole house
    5. Get the kids homework done when they get it! Not last minute
    6. Go out for a meal with hubby at least once every couple of months
    7. Complete at least 75% of my 101 list (eñds may)
    8. Start my new 101 list :)


    Nothing to bad there. Debt, weightloss and family life :)

    Happy new year lovely orange one:A
    A lovely list there - I will look forward to reading your new 101 list.
    I haven't been good at posting on your diary, but am always reading:)
    I thought of you when I saw the flooding in Braunton, along the road we drove to lovely Woolacombe. Hope your house wasn't affected.

    ETA: No baby here this year hopefully:eek: I wouldn't say no to the lovely guy though:dance:
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    hehe how strange I just posted on your diary.

    The flooding was terrible :( All the poor shop keepers! so weird seeing it on the news too. Luckily we are a good mile from the river and on a hill. This was the worst flood yet. We had it bad on Boxing Day a few years back but it wasn't anything like this. We have just had a 1.2 million pound flood defence put in last year!!!

    I hope you have a wonderful 2013- ill be wishing for that perfect guy to come along for you :) xx
