DDFW!!!! Fancy avoiding it that much - thats awful, actually, the adrenalin must have been tearing you up inside I'm really chuffed you've passed

I love decluttering! I sometimes suspect I collect things - newspaper articles, books, anything - on purpose to declutter the next year - bad, bad, bad KC! Waste of time! So I must stop.

Not sure about getting rid of *all* your recipe books - mind you, there are some I could happily let go of. When my sister was in her nesting phase, she swore by Delia - it was that era! - and I was bought it as a gift, and it was really expensive then for a cookery book. Its jammed with information, and I have never, ever used it. Her recipes are so elaborate, so time-consuming (and so many aren't vegetarian) plus there's so much information on the web now ... you've started me thinking, actually. Its so old, its probably a CS, not ebay ... I'll think about that one.

See, you've got me doing it now :rotfl:

Dedicated i totally understand the essay thing.

Crisps need reframing. They are not out of date, just mature.

Well done on the pass!

Keep up the good work, on all counts.

I'm very pleased you passed the assignment.

No, I'm not starting a diary. I would feel a fraud since I am currently debt-free and don't have a house. I am feeling a bit lost with things to be honest. I am desperate to find somewhere to live and willing something suitable to come onto the market. After that, I will be with big mortgage and debt but I just want to get on with it.

Anyway, I'm very busy at work at the moment so at least that is keeping me occupied.

Take care x
