    I'm not sure if I do Wendz, most of my cards/envelopes are smaller than that. :) Going to have to seek out commissions for wedding invites or suchlike to get rid of them! ;)

    Will you be trying for a honeymoon baby Wendz?! :) Hope your OH had a nice birthday. :)

    Don't say that you 'only' managed to clear a few bits CMD, I like to think that you cleared things that might not have been done had you not been challenging yourself! :T

    Thanks Birdie,

    You are right. They might not seem big things but they are big to me. I paid the booking deposit for Max this morning, posted an important letter and attended mother & toddler this morning. That is big for me. Lol!

  • Ooh Birdie, if you'd really like to get rid of a couple of blank cards and envelopes I can PM you my address and I can paypal you the postage on Friday when I get paid? I finished my stash doing my Christmas thank you cards and was wanting to make something for a friends new home. Don't worry if it's faffy though :)

    So bored of the snow, I'm itching to get back cycling to work, going to the gym but I'm stuck!

    No problem Archers, send me a PM and I'll get a little goody bag sent out to you. No need to reimburse me :)

    Quiet today, where is everyone?! :o

    I've been so cold all day; I had planned on finishing emptying my desk and giving it a clean but I'm so chilly that I have a feeling I'll get under my slanket and refuse to move all night! :o

    De-Junk Janurary deadline is looming, a week and a half left! I'm going to have to get ruthless with my wardrobe in order to hit the target I think! :p

    Hi all, have been at the new house pretty much non-stop since Friday, it is being rewired at the moment so is looking like a building site at the moment, just trying to focus on a few weeks time when it will all be done! I have been to so many DIY and home furnishing stores over the last few days its ridiculous. We have our old house until next Tuesday so will be officially moving at the weekend once the electricians have finished. Luckily we have only moved down the road so it shouldn't be too much of a mission!

    As a result I have lost track with the decluttering a bit as far as numbers go, I am being very ruthless and getting rid of anything I have to think twice about (if you know what I mean) so I am definitely still with you all in spirit and think I am on track! Birdie - I also keep the ribbons cut out of clothes :o (in a neatly labelled tin of course ;))

    Eeep excited about watching you today Shrimpy! :j I'm going to have to watch it on +1 so will have to stay away from FB as I don't want any spoilers before I see it! :)

    As expected last night I did next to nothing! :o I emptied the last bits out of a drawer, binned some of it and moved the rest into the spare room for 'sorting' at some point then had a mad 5 minutes where I pulled a few bits out of the wardrobe to get rid of but won't count it until I've actually got a bag of clothes and what-not sent off to the CS. :)
