This Time I'm Really Going To Do It

Watty1

You've all made me smile! Thank you so much. Back to feeling brighter and more positive.

Lovely day. Pretended to be in office all day, but really finished decluttering one room and took the German Shepherd for a walk. Gorgeous sunshine and admired snowdrops and daffs and the hugest purple crocus I have ever seen which was in a field - no idea how it got there but it made me smile.

NSD. Mr Watty has to go to Oslo for work and his work arranged everything but the parking so just booked that via Quidco for the cashback.

Listed 5 items on ebay.

Am hoping that the threat of snow made earlier by a man on TV is not serious. I was busy listing ebay stuff at the time. Just off to check the news now as am hoping I did not hear right.

Well done on the lorry. WHAT an achievement♡♡♡

Thank you. I am so proud of baby! There was a camera in the cab so we could see him travelling. Mr Watty drove and I spent the journey watching him. (Watching pony that is not Mr Watty!) What a good traveller he was. So nosey! He was looking out of the windows and couldn't decide what window to look out of first :rotfl:
Just got a photo taken by Mr Watty back from snapfish (no photo printer here) and framed it as a reminder of the day. It is of me riding baby during the test. What a long way we have come in a short space of time. He has been so good. :j

Just checked yesterday's ebay listings and someone has bid £6.50 already for a china storage jar lid. I broke the jar and thought the lid (as it is a recognisable collectable pattern) might fetch a pound or so. Amazed is up at £6.50 :rotfl:

Jumping lesson today at local riding school. Really was hoping it would be cancelled as nerves took hold - but - it wasn't so I went - and I jumped. Fantastic :j

Now just off to yoga lesson. End of the month tomorrow so can review properly!

great ebaying. And horsemanship.

Inspired by Habibiboo I was thinking of keeping a tally of decluttering. But having started with the *january jettison the junk* I read about on another board, and, kept it up till the end of February I can report that the living area, the dining area, 2 bedrooms (other than Mr Watty's stuff) and 2 bathrooms done. Most of the kitchen cupboards done. Part of the office done. Am actually very pleased with this. :j

One spare room still to be done but I dont think that will provide much to sell as I had kind of done that one in the past.

Now it is more tidy and use up and don't stockpile in the future After all how many washing up sponges does a girl really need :rotfl:

Due to rain cancelled riding lesson and then the sun came out Feeling somewhat overwhelmed with end of month work! Had large delivery of stock in, sent a lot of back orders out, now sorting out end of months accounts. Think might need to work this evening to catch up ...

Reminding myself that I get behind because I take time out during working day. My idea of regular work is more aspirational than reality:rotfl:

Hi Watty,

Hope you got up to date with work

Well done on the decluttering too sounds like you have achieved loads :T

Watty1

Not up to date Dedicated. Living room full of stock to be shifted to office but stopped work at 9.30pm. That was late enough :A

Just sat down to check bank account and think ahead for month and realised on the 3rd account would go overdrawn by £3.22 so hastily shifted £10 from savings a/c to cover it. Feel mighty proud I was so organised.

Looks like there will be a little surplus for overpayment pot this month too. Aiming for £500 this month.

What a weekend. Took dog to agililty class on Saturday morning, arrived to find car *smoking* from bonnet and oil all over engine. Drove home carefully and Mr Watty cleaned oil up. We need to investigate further. At this point we have no idea "why" ???

Then today a friend bought some *stuff* round. She found out a couple of days ago husband will have to declare bankruptcy. Its so sad. I've been very moved by her plight. Makes me so grateful for all we have. She dropped off some bits she couldnt face throwing out. I've offered to help ebay stuff as they will have to downsize but she just cant face that. I'm going to rehome the stuff to a local horse-rescue which runs the odd sale etc. It just doesnt feel right to sell it myself.

Now tired. Will catch up on forum then early night I think.

Your poor friend.
Hope its not carmageddon.
