    So next week I will:
    1.Clear a shelf in cupboard of some china that belonged to my Grandmother. I am never going to use it and i am sure its nothing special but for the moment I cant part with it - plan to pack it all up carefully in a box and store away - shelf can then be used for things we do use:

    Hi was in similar position 4 years ago and it is difficult to let things go but a nearby charity took the crockery to use at their cream tea fund raisers as they present it in the traditional way. It was nice to know that it was still useful.

    If you are in anyway handy when you feel up to it you can make candles in tea cup and wrap in cello complete with saucer and gift to friends and family or sell and donate money to OAP group.

    Hi everyone quick update

    My declutter challenge last night lead me to an interesting find.... Not money:( but was going thro craft stash and trying to get rid of all the empty christmas choc boxes to put stuff into see thro containers.

    Was chucking away these miniature choc bar boxes and noticed difference in size older container had 855g and this yr had 750 so when we think oh they are still such a good price how can they sell them for that.... It is essentially because the amount of produce has been reduced!

    This is my second recent discovery on this matter as at butchers I said the chickens look much smaller....was told reduced from 2kg to 1.8 and priced the same as people don't like price rises...

  • Hi everyone.

    Well, been back at work for 2 days and in bed by 9pm for 2 nights, so getting things done is getting harder. I did do quite a lot of things on Sunday and I'm trying to keep plugging away at the list, even if it's in smaller steps.

    Have a good day
