Thank you everyone

Got the day just about all planned out already. And it's still the best part of two years away. :rotfl:
Have been really ill the last few days, thankfully I'm on the mend now. Not a moment too soon, I'm desperate to get Konmari-ing again!
Decluttered a few things that caught my eye - makeup bag that held my nail polishes (they're not in an empty storage har I have on display). Box that held cookie cutters is gone (they're now in the empty cake tins sitting on top of kitchen cupboards). A few random trinkets have made they're way into charity shop bag too.

Enjoy your plotting!

Weird few days. Thought I'd end up in a&e as I suddenly felt so shocking on Wednesday night, thankfully woke up the next day feeling much better and managed to potter about organising bookcases (a favourite activity :smileyhea) only to go back to feeling rather blah again today.
Thankfully not as bad as before so am putting it down to a blip, no doubt I'll be back on track tomorrow. Has meant I've had to miss the threatre tonight though as I'm in no fit state to go gallivanting.
Had a brief walk out this afternoon (testing to see if I'd make it out tonight) and only just made it home. Managed to drop off a small bag to the charity shop though, so at least that's something.
Decluttered: a few unneeded storage boxes, a damaged coaster (have too many anyway), damaged frying pan, a few random decorative trinkets.
Oh dear, no MFW activity at all. Unless you count continued decluttering attempts which means being satisfied with a smaller and cheaper living space...

Congratulations PM! :j:j:j
I've finally caught up on your diary.
Things really seem to be on the up for you. I hope your virus goes away soon, make sure you give yourself plenty of time to rest amidst your decluttering endeavours.

INOD, me too - daffodils are possibly the most cheerful of flowers. a penny picker upper.
