Good Evening

I gave the living room a really good clean today and decluttered some magazines from the coffee table.
DD has taken a black bag up to her room and says she expects to fill it with rubbish.

Well, I couldn't find the free calendar for work yesterday, but there's already one at work so no need to look for it now.

After work I tried to find a recipe for banana jam (for another thread on here) but couldn't find it anywhere. However I did manage to find a big wodge of paper/card which is now in the recycling along with the xmas cards. I made tags out of the small cutsie ones ready for Christmas presents this year and put them straight away (give myself a pat on the back :T:rotfl:)

That is all I've done today, but it was my first day back at work after the hols.

Cleared out the laundry room today and binned a load of old half empty or dried out stain devils that I never use, plus a selection of random odd socks

I've been hanging out on debt free forum for a while but just came to check out this forum and this thread is perfect for me.

I'm sure there is some connection between my cluttered house, my cluttered head and my cluttered credit cards!

My new years resolution this year is to de-clutter my house so that hopefully the rest will follow!

Not started yet as kids still off school and I've been working but as soon as they are back at school let the real work begin. Have wednesdays off work so that will be my de-clutter day - I have to accept that the house will get worse before it gets better but know it will be worth it in the end and I will be able to spend more time concentrating on financial planning instead of tidying away stuff!!!!!!
