    Right - today was going to be clear up day in the GH (won't say it!!) but the sun was shining so I've decluttered all the dead geraniums, loads of violets and all the dead stems in the garden. Looks much better. NOW I am starting on the GH (I did do a load of filing last night so I'd made a sart ;))

    Re the term glory hole..... I knew there was a slightly rude connotation, but I've just been on Wilkipedia. I didn't realise it was that rude ! :rotfl:

    I've had a fairly rubbish week on eBay, both on my personal things and my little business.

    I'm off to make a start on my bills and bank statements box, to make up for the lack of eBay sales

    :wave:Happy daddy, welcome to this thread

    Well done to you for all your decluttering this week.

    OH has been out all day so I have done more than usual today:

    * One letter typed up to be sent recorded delivery on Monday
    * Have completed one application form for an advertised vacant post
    * Hoovered the house
    * Sorted out the cookbook shelf, dusted all the books and the shelf itself, great to see it neat and tidy

    Earlier this week OH sent off 5 months worth of receipts to head office, living room book shelf is looking so much better now.
    No toiletries challenge, started 18/1/2010 - Putting £1 in my savings jar for every item that I use up. Pot 1 to 4 = £261. Pot 5=£23
    Boots points:£39.21. Extra money in 2012:£674.59. In 2013 £603.48. 2014: £85. 2015: £0 :j
