    Fantastic news Shrimpy. Am thrilled for you, on both counts :)

    Wendz - lovely shoes. I hope they match the dress :) Did you book a honeymoon yet?

    I still have the flu. This is 8 days now and my head is hopping and still feels dizzy. I just want to go back to normal. I was meant to be going for a meal for my birthday this weekend but just want to feel normal. Have no interest in going out.

    The only decluttering I have been managing is to insubscrobe from annoying emails!

    I have started that savings that you posted Dinah. I think it is a fab idea, although I may struggle in the later months. I am using mine for Xmas presents in 2013 so I may dip in and out of it as and when I see presents for the kiddies. I try and buy thoughout the year. I will try and save it all though.

    Cute shoes Wendz! Hope they look good with your dress, what a bargain too! :T Your hen sounds fab, what a great idea to make something to remember the day by! :)

    Sorry to hear you're still ill CMD. :( I've never had flu last that long, usually it's a 3 day job of feeling really bad, with a few days to recover properly afterwards, maybe you should call the doctor since it's been over a week now? Hope you're better by the weekend. :)
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Thanks Ruby, how's that eye?

    If I eat an entire box of christmas biscuits, does that count as a declutter...?
