Too lazy to keep flicking over the page to check / report progress so a copy and paste will do

Absolutely shattered, didn't get to sleep until after 4 and have so much to do today.

Break with a cuppa for now and then back to it :cool:

More and more things leaving the house - lots has gone to the carboot stash, some given away and now i'm really trying to get to the 100 items in may :eek: - Aim is to achieve 60 items from this house by the end of this week - i have the few final bits of mine i picked up from parents last week and will check how much nearer that'll get me from the 60 to the 100

Feeling so much better with less stuff in my wardrobe, new rule is that i only buy an item for a set date of wearing it - so that will determine its a need and not so much a want I do tend to pick up bargains in the sale maybe too much To be honest though i have had a lot of things for years and years - still kept something i've had for 20 years

Prepped tea so i've just got to cook and eat it now - hope i can eat ok today although my tum does seem to have settled down alot after yesterday.

Knew there was something else i meant to update - i got the gold weighed bagged and sent off, missed the final post so hoping for an accurate quote tomorrow as i used kitchen scales - really, really hope my friends kitchen scales are accuate as it was so expensive to post - i'll be a bit :mad: if they aren't accurate as she should have told me Will see tomorrow i hope *fingers crossed* please

*positive vibes* for the assignment please

Aw! Thanks Ellidee

Ok, apart from assignment all other things are done except for meal which will of course be later anyway.

Going to start typing up now i think for a bit of a change from the books and the writing.

Just lifted a top out for bay of e - takes me to a total of 48 of 100 of my target. So 12 more to find over the next few days. As i said before wardrobe is now looking much clearer, actually keeping what i wear is making it easier to find things / see things. Part of motivation before was also the whole 10% worn 90% of the time thing - thinking if i am not wearing it think why? and then remove if needed

looking forward to the end of work tomorrow - should mean assignment done and in, and i can start on the exam preparation :cool: Done the plan until the end of this week for this so i am happy with that too.

Hope everyone is enjoying a nice Sunday xx

Had to stop for lunch - i am finding my body tells me in no uncertain terms when i have not eaten properly so i've hopefully headed that off!

Am up to 50 items of the 100 now - so 10 more to find this week. Loving parting with things just now it really is helping me feel so light. Just having a very quick peek in the assignment breaks and to give my eyes / head a break from the screen.

Ok back to it :cool:

Fantastic progress hon.. You're doing so well and juggling study too :j

DedicatedDFW

Thanks SF and brizzle

The money would be most appreciated thats for sure But i am also enjoying the space that this clearout is producing.

I thought i had thoroughly decluttered but i think this just shows that with a change of mindset then extra things can be found Some things i am parting with i thought i would keep forever.

Just starting the roast off now

Well done on yet more decluttering - and positive vibes for the assignment xx
