PB Rides Again....Life's Never Smooth, Is it?!
Comments
-
Hi all,
So more things have been moved to the charity shop, and I managed to give one of the objects I was more enamoured with to someone who will use it well, so I'm happy as it's not wasted.
I don't seem to have done much else, though, today, although saying goodbye to mummy PB was a big part of it. Here is my list of things to do this evening:- Finish off online application form (get required paperwork)
- Fill out other form to post
- Find photo for present
- Log onto job website
- Apply for job
- Make time schedule
- Take Ebay photos (just in case they decide to invite me to the Free Listings Weekend)
- [If there's time] Write up recipes to recipe book.

I know what you are saying, but I can't listen to it. I'm *technically* a slumdog millionaire but I can't deal with the slumming anymore!
It's gotta go!
Sorry, it wasn't a dig at you PB.
I know you needed to get rid...and if I'm absolutely honest I do too but I just can't bear to just give things away. I should really just so that I have a de cluttered house-then I might have a de cluttered mind too.
I just haven't had the kick up the backside I need to just be ruthless-pity you don't live round the corner, you could help! :rotfl: I bet you're so pleased you don't live just round the corner now I've said that. :rotfl:GE 36 *MFD may 2043

I know it wasn't.
I think the amount of stuff I had was just so overwhelming that I couldn't have dealt with it all and so it would have just kept hanging around and I would have felt really
with it all here, so I had to make some executive decisions. Alas, I am procrastinating big style and still haven't listed anything so far, which is VERY NAUGHTY. Tell me off, tc!
And if I did happen to live just round the corner I would help you in a jiffy...on an understanding that you would come round and help me afterwards.
I think it's much easier when there is someone else there to help motivate you.
Right, I need to get on with these listings. All I managed to get done off yesterday's 'To Do' list was declutter then wine and a LurveFilm DVD.
I had better get on with it. Here's the plan:
Today: photograph and list the large number of books I have to
get rid of. Apply for job. Do washing up.
Tomorrow: list clothing items (and hopefully old course stuff).
Finish off paperwork that desperately needs doing.
Kick my bum if I don't do it. I don't seem to have as much motivation as I normally do!Debt: £11,640.02 paid in full! DFD: 30/06/20

Your lists are long, detailed and most importantly....get done. :rotfl: Can't say the same for mine so much.

I've been watching Tedx talks while I take photographs as a way of inspiring myself. I now need to list all those books :eek:
Wish me very good luck! I think I need a cup of tea, first...:beer:Debt: £11,640.02 paid in full! DFD: 30/06/20

Hey, if I lived round the corner, I'd be right there with you.
I totally agree having someone just there is more motivational than being on your own.
Miss tc wrote my to do list today. :rotfl: she got all my notepads together and looked at lots of previous to do lists and anything that wasn't ticked she wrote on today's list.
It's a looonnngg list. But I'm getting there.

I'm listing, honest! Having said that it is taking ages partially as I seem to be sold and partially as I can't seem to upload the photos easily - it keeps making me do it again. :mad: I've only managed 3 items so far!Debt: £11,640.02 paid in full! DFD: 30/06/20
