    Well done J2A. You sound a bit like me in that you go in for a frenzied attack at times. You do sound much brighter and more positive than your OP, so good for you. Got a bit worried reading the 'pulling out the cooker bit'!!!....are you meant to be doing that?!....maybe I am used to big cookers that weigh a tonne, and am sitting here hoping yours is a smaller one.

    I will update later or tomorrow as got side tracked by a friend arriving and off now to carry on.
    Yep...still at it, working out how to retire early.:D....... Going to have to rethink that scenario as have been screwed over by the company. A work in progress.

    I had a bit of an energy slump this afternoon and ended up falling asleep on the sofa so nothing else managed today - still, I'm feeling pretty smug about my shiny kitchen :)

    Please don't worry, our cooker is dinky and pretty easy to move about. I think it was originally in my Nana's caravan lol, we desperately need a new one but it'll do for now.

    Have a good time with your friend and good work to everyone else who's been battling on.

    I love this thread and catching up on postings now feel inspired again. Have stayed awake too long reading postings!
    De-hoarding been on the back-burner for a couple of weeks - cleared half a bedroom and half a shed but most things just replanted themselves somewhere else :(.
    De-cluttered my psyche a bit and have remembered who I am :) - still not found my GSOH but it must be there somewhere.

    Hello Everyone, you all seem to be clearing carp so well despite some very difficult situations. Keep up the good work.
    Congratulations pigpen -brilliant news.

    I've decluttered a large cyst from the cats back..
    • I am having DS2 take stuff to chazzer today.. he doesn't know yet. I shall have OH move it to by the front door so I can just tell him to 'take all that' without having to look at it any more.
    • I have a few bits to return to Next which I shall sort now.. I'll organise collection then I have a deadline for getting it done.
    I then need to sort Squeaks uniform for nursery tomorrow.

    New piglet... Delilah Gabrielle

    pigpen,

    what a lovely surprise today to come on the thread and see such a gorgeous little bundle! Lovely name too. Well done, proud mummy and daddy.
