Declutted old pair secateurs 20/365 and some rubbish from garden/horse storage shed 21/365. Still have some way to go.
Made fruit puree from frozen berries and left on stove a bit too long whilst distracted. Looks like a murder took place in kitchen. Will freeze any that is stuck to bottom of pan for flavoring plain yoghurt for puds.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

Sounds like a gorgeous ride Watty, just as it should be! Do you ever hack alone? I only ask because the horse I shared for a while was an angel with his one mate but a bouncy ball on his own. He sounds like he's been brilliant on his own at shows so that will help his confidence.Mortgage Apr 18 £417,894 BTL Mar 18 £162,857

Excellent decluttering Watty and glad you had a lovely ride!
Re: the gardening. I noticed you use freecycle, it might be worth putting up a virtual notice in your "local" Freecycle / Freegle thread asking about gardening services in the local area ... Freecyclers usually know the best well-priced trades-folk or you might get a response from a fit student or two! xStash busting 2014 45 / 60 (balls of yarn)!

Great idea. Thanks Hbbb. Will try that.
Floppy, I used to hack alone before "melt down moment" but havent since. It is something I will get back to at some point. For now I am just working on building our confidence together and think slowly slowly is best approach.
I know he will be great on his own, he is after all fabulous at shows. Its just me - but - I'm focusing on how far I have come since my low points.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

A beauty product that actually does what it says on the package! :j Was sent a very odd looking sponge thing to test for my product review in magazine and with some trepidation I gave it a go. Immediately my skin looked better - and - have used it for 3 days and I love it.
Wont be buying it though when this one runs out. Still have a cupboard full of 'product' that I am using up in MSE/decluttering style.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

Updated signature. Is it sad to say I just love doing this ? So exciting to see figure fall. Soon won't be able to overpay anymore without penalty so will then switch to building the savings pot.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

Wow what amazing progress! Not long now!
Congrats on the mway bridge!
At my old yard we used to have to hack under one, over one, under a railway bridge and over a railway crossing - was very scary when the barriers / lights started going when you were halfway across! Didn't get used to it in the 3 years I was there (horse didn't care mind!)Mortgage starting balance 2011 ... £170k today £1.5k
