Equally as importantly, glad to see you seeing yourself as the rest of us see you. Who knows, next step may even be that you feel proud of yourself for doing all you do while looking after a menagerie.Mortgage at 01.01.14 £119,481.83:eek: today £0 Emergency fund £5.5/5.5k & £200/200 cash.:jWeight 24/02/19 14st 7lb now 11st 12lb determined to stop defining myself by my mistakes.

Plan -
Finish the year at work. Have till the end of July Off. no tidying no decluttering no work, one week away and then when I return I have 31 days to PURGE.
The Conservatory
The Sheds
The Garden
My Room
My Stuff in the loft.
It is ALL going. sold, chucked, given away.
And then it is 103 days till Christmas.
and you know how EVERY year I try and do that Christmas programme? Well this is the YEAR it is going to happen.
The depression and the job and the life I have lead has been me doing the best I can and that is ok. In many ways I have done really well. But I need to move past this clutter and crap. I have to make a clean break from this.
So this holiday is going to be important.
just got to manage this last week at work.Nevertheless she persisted.0 -
Only one week at work~five days~~ then have a happy summer.

Oooh I love your Summer plan. Can I join in too??
I am FORVER trying to beat the clutter and get organised. May be extra challenging with kids home, but at least I will have more spare time as won't be having to factor in school runs, events and just generally having to get them organised.
I am looking at our office desk right now and it is chaos. It makes me feel ill, so getting organised and de cluttered would vastly help my mind state I am sure.
Nice that you are giving yourself abit of time off first though with no pressures. We all need time to just BE occasionally.
Great plan :beer:0
