    De-lurking to say wish some of us could be there to flylady the house with you. You're doing so well, glad you have TRG with you (I packed up for removal solo two years ago! :eek: I did it all in 15 minute bursts over many weeks!)

    Looking forward to hearing of your life in my neighbouring county - nay, Kingdom! :p

    Good luck on giant cleaning marathon! :j :j Mind you, you've packed so many things there mustn't be *that* much left to clean?? Or am I deluding myself?? :D (quite likely :rotfl: )

    Good luck stripey one!

    Ay up! I hope them there multi-coloured napkins are coming in useful for the hoose cleaning ;)

    I was minded of you yesterday. I ruthlessly de-cluttered my plant pot stash - you know the one that grows all by its self, even though you don't buy any plants........ Anyway, I cut it down by more than half and the best bit is that the pots are all in really good condition, and they are headed to the local allotments for new homes, rather than landfill. I hope you approve :D

    Hope it is all going well and you've made great strides today :D

    Aw thanks guys house is half cleaned or maybe more.

    Waves with tired arms.

    Brb and Darwin got sold today. Both getting rehomed tomorrow without my help. So we might indeed have a 'garden' budget when we move as that money is ring fenced for horticulture.

    Just under £550 raised in total towards the move through decluttering.

    Land lady popping in during morning.

    Yay to virtual fly ladies and rehomed pots.

    :-) up with the skylarks tomorrow :-)

    Night guys.

    Thanks for cheering on from the side lines. Cars half packed........

    The deed is done.

    We is now credit card free.

    2 car payments left (£413.24 total) and £550 0% interest loan to pay and we're totally clear.
    (Aside the overdrafts and the pesky student loan)

    And, of course, poor but we'll eat cheese and toast and celebrate quietly.

    Should clear before we get the boat later.

    I can't of course thank you all enough for the help along the way, the encouragement, advice and general access to cheese and ample giggles too.

    Thank you all, stars that you are.

    I'd take a seat and relax and celebrate but the PESKY SNORING HOUND has taken the only one left.

    So, in most exciting style I'm off to celebrate by cleaning out the fridge and doing the last of the hoovering.

    Rock and Roll people, Rock and Roll.

    Living the DFW MSE dream one day at a time.

    :D
