Thanks ed - i really did appreciate the input and the nice way it was given too

I am just about to have a look on your thread too

Completed the next bit of study so a quick break to refresh and then on with the next bit :cool:

I have moved even more stuff since last posting :T My Mr's stuff is irksome but once i've got my 'bits' cleared away then hopefully that will encourage him - mine has mainly been paperwork - you know stuff you kinda need to deal with before filing or just need some detail off. Well its all looking alot better - a few more bits to do today or tomorrow and then its done :T

Realised now i am hopefully getting back in the swing of studying that i definitely drink more coffee when i'm at the books :coffee:

I love making a list last thing at night - I always feel like I've wasted a chunk of the morning if I need to do a load of stuff and I don't have a list ready when I wake up!

I'm interested in the crisps tho - do tell!

And sleep well.

Hi All

Oh dear - i probably made the crisps sound more exciting than they are :rotfl::rotfl: Basically it was just to sort out the crisp basket - i actually did it yesterday - i checked with my Mr if i can give any away or if he eats them so have 2 big bags for family and i put the crisps back in in date order I do eat crisps on occasion but tend to not eat the crisps my Mr has

Sorting tea x back soon x

It sounds it doesn't it? Until i say they are in date order with the most out of date ones at the front :cool: My mr eats the crisps and will just grab the nearest / favourites so i have put them in this order so that they are not wasted - These are the really big bags of crisp at 150g and 300g size so easy to put in order and the basket was a complete mess with other things dumped in - now its tidy and i can tell what i need from shopping too

Hey all,

jwil, chocs - if you are reading i hope all is good with you

So i've not yet done the listing for the dvd thing but i will

Living room will be clear by weekend - wine making stuff in here at the moment as the space for it hasn't been cleared :cool:

avoiding on-line thing :cool:

I am hungry. i have sold a couple of bits today - hope they pay up! I've also given a couple of things away :eek: Could've sold but it helps someone out who helps me out so that seems fair I have shuffled a small amount of money around. i have made plans to part with another item

New plan is to utterly declutter 1 room every / every other month. Whilst studying i will be dealing with the smaller rooms so starting with the utility - this is a feb job but may get bumped up to jan / feb. I will empty out all areas and only put back what is being kept I am pretty methodical so will do an area / cupboard / shelf at a time. I won't be decluttering the freezer - its an ongoing challenege and all food in there is being kept - i just need to reduce the amount of food in there

Scarily i am thinking of getting rid of all my cookery books - i look in them for inspiration and find i need far too many / too unusual ingredients so i google recipes instead... still needs considering - as i said if its not being used it needs to go :cool: Any thoughts on this and / or ideas where its best to sell them?

I am still hungry.

Today was an NSD :T

I found 6p :T

I ate my packed lunch and was still hungry but didn't buy anything else to eat :T

I walked to the station and back :T

Righto, back to the study :cool:

I'm fine thanks and have been lurking
