The kick up the a&£e diary for debt busting

tattycath

I did not achieve as much as I would have liked over the weekend.
That said, I did manage a couple of sales. I went to a lovely celebration over the weekend. Church yesterday morning-long overdue.
I also managed to 'declutter' a bottle of wine yesterday afternoon with a friend-well, we both decluttered a bottle of wine
Today I need to:
Sort some stock out and get it for sale
Shredding
Start on loft
Sort some more belongings out that we need to shift
Pack sales
Sort some stuff for charity.
Washing
Sort out clean laundry and put away.
Right now I need breakfast.

Still need to get some more work done.
Starting on the loft has been deferred until Thursday-hopefully DD2 will be available to assist.
I have done some more shredding but there's still loads to do. We seem to hang on to so much stuff for far too long!
I still need to sort some stuff out to go to charity.
Hoping to get a couple of loads of washing done today.
Went to @sd@ last night and wombled a receipt on my way back to the car- got just over 50pence voucher from it! :j

Thanks jwil. Not even managed to make a start on the loft yet!
I must look into the kon Marie method. Is it a book? Might have to invest!

It is indeed. http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Life-Changing-Magic-Tidying-effective/dp/0091955106

There is also a huge thread on here about it which explains it all https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5146700

The thread is enough to know what to do, but I found the explanation in the book helpful as well, and motivating. I sold the book after I'd read it too

Well done on the voucher! Good luck with the sorting.

Went to @sd@ yesterday with DD1.
I bought a reduced pork shoulder joint so I'm putting it in slow cooker this morning. Still not sure what to have with it for evening meal... Decisions, decisions.
I've moved some bits of cash around this morning and have a busy day ahead. The glorious weather certainly helps with motivation!

Late to bed last night as I watched the first half of the ladies football semi final. Poor girls. I bet they're gutted!
Had a sleep in today until 8.45am.
Got all the windows open - lots to do today, just having a cuppa and catching up on the news.

Thanks for this jwil. I think I'll order it and have a look at the thread....
Just need a way of sorting out kitchen cupboards and upright freezer-that has no drawers! You open the door and if you're really lucky nothing falls out!

tattycath

Book...or that might be 3 books... ordered.
Freezer inventory finally done. Just got to meal plan now.

tattycath

Fridge inventory done and dishwasher on.
Another load of washing about to go in.

She's very keen on using containers to hold stuff in - it might be an idea for your kitchen cupboards.

Oops to 3 books!

We had pulled pork and jacket spuds the other day, it was yummy!
