    Updated signature yesterday. I get such a thrill out of monitoring progress :rotfl: I must get out more.

    Moved last years business storage papers to loft - or rather - I had bunged the papers in the loft in plastic box when they came back from accountant - have now put the cardboard box properly labelled in loft and transferred papers into it and taken plastic box to barn. Had I done the job properly in the first place it would have saved time :rotfl: But, the cardboard box now gone from spare room where it has lived for the last 6 weeks so can up declutter total by 1! Now I'm in the homestretch of the declutter as it were the counting inspired by Habib.... is fun too! 12/365.
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Horses feedroom cleaned out. Few bits thrown out. Wasn't sure I could count as part of the declutter until I threw out 5 left handed rubber gloves. Wonder where the right ones went?? :) 13/365

    Fantastic lesson on baby today and lovely walk in the sun. Now catching up on work (err well reading here actually):rotfl:

    Wow! Just made £5 answering a survey that took less than 2 mins. Survey panel I joined has been sending out mini surveys that pay £5 per survey. Have done 3 in the last week and made £15. Delighted :)

    They pay in Amazon vouchers so will just retain the credit until I need to buy gifts. :T

    Lovely sunny day. And I am stuck in office :(

    Dropped horse rug off at local horse rescue and chatted to woman running place, was glad had gifted rug rather than ebaying it. 14/365

    £6.80 from quidco into bank account. Daft how joyfully I found that little bonus for funds :)

    Thank you Alchemilla.

    Just had to refund £25 for an ebay sale. Went to wrap the item and found it had broken during the week it was on ebay. No idea how that happened. Mr Watty and the dog both deny all knowledge :rotfl: Oh well I suppose it can count in the declutter total 15/365.

    Just as well popped the overpayment moneys into savings pot as may well be needed. Foggyfellpony has had colic Sunday requiring emergency call out and Monday night again requiring emergency call out. 2 out of hours vets bills and drugs so far. This morning however he is much brighter than I am (having had very little sleep) so hopefully on the mend.

    And show jacket bought. Found a childs one to fit. Not as nice as the £575 one I must say but most acceptable and within budget.
