Your decluttering sounds like it's going very well...well done you:)

Have missed what's going on with the car..still a money pit?:(

Thanks Again all

Cheery hope you are feeling more like your cheery self soon too

TC, LJ - thank you also - LJ hope you get a rest and feel more energetic soon - TC i will get around to your diary

PB - i am trying not to use my thread too much as a vent-y / rant-y / moan-y place - i can't imagine its nice for other people to read and as much as its on my mind its also not something i want to dwell on either

KC - thank you - i probably just don't talk about watching tv etc. which is why it may seem like i don't relax :cool: Today, to change my mood - i went back to bed this afternoon for an hour, then finished the cupboard declutter and ate some chocolate and had a cuppa and put the assignment to one side and have been catching upon some programs i like to watch I regret not doing the assignment but also accept that my head wasn't in the right place for it and i have done *alot* of study this week too and still done some today :T

The le cru is going - it is just too heavy for me to use and whilst i'm not bothered about it breaking per se i'd just be annoyed if i used it and it broke - i'll wait for flw

Brizzle bah! you've challenged me now i am all pondering which ones to get rid of :rotfl: they are in 3 piles - i think you asked KC so a pile for each shape and also makes them easy to access Getting rid of some won't make any more 'floor space' if you like just they'll be less stacked - i'll need to ponder some more...

And no you've not missed anything brizzle - i just haven't got the money to get the car fixed fully yet. And won't next month either s that is :mad::mad::mad: car insurance - i just cannot work out why its so expensive hence the angry faces - the car is worth very little and doesn't go far or often

But in good news brizzle - yes the decluttering is powering on I have got rid of a long pot thing, large tupperware x 2, small dish, small utensil, medium tupperware thing, small chopping board, small carving board, egg thing i think?, le cru will be listed also - so at least 2 big bag fulls leaving the house from this cupboard so i am pleased and happy with the new organisation

All ok my end thanks D.
Sounds yummy soup.

It's nice, but not really a minestrone. I realised that I was missing a few key ingredients, but it's tasty all the same. *Hands bowl over to Alchemilla*

Oh, you mean Dedicated's! :rotfl:

Le Creuset costs an arm and a leg and I bet you will get a pretty penny for it. I just listed something on my personal FB page as I realised that I know quite a few people who might be interested, so would it be worth trying that? You never know...

It's more like a veg soup with lardons in it, but it's still very tasty. I had it with HM bread. Yum! :T

Excellent on passing and I'm glad to hear you *do* chill out sometimes

It made me laugh about the roasting dishes if you feel good about what you've got now, then thats the most important thing - less bother, still flexible, more enjoyment out of things - its all win-win-win

Thanks for the soup!

Congratulations on your assignment!♡♡♡♥♥♥
