What a lovely feelingMade it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

I think I need to learn to do things other than work. A big part of my reflection this season has been that I've used work as a way of avoiding doing 'life'.
Sobering.
Currently in office but this is an early start on the 2016 big decutter. A three drawer filing cabinet has been emptied. Mr Watty has a pile of stuff to go through. Only one drawer now has stuff in. Go me !!!Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

Then you need to find out why you're avoiding the bits you're avoiding .... and deal with it :eek: and then the world will be your oyster :beer:2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
Great post KC.
Any ideas where I start?
I mean I have some ideas but geesh am not entirely sure.
Am now off to do more decluttering in office. Half office much better, 3 boxes of stuff decluttered, 2 things on ebay and many spiders rehomed. Will think more about KC's post. I liked it a lot.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
