The diet WAS going really well until I had a series of events recently where I had to be dodgy, so I haven't dared have a weigh in for a couple of weeks. Ill get back on the wagon properly after Easter as I need to prepare to get the budgies on again just after the middle of May..:rotfl:0 -

With regards to decluttering your loft maybe set yourself say two hours per week and keep at it until its cleared. It will be really time consuming but think how fab you will feel when its done. Also you never know what you may come across that you could be using now:DMorning elite!
Dipdap re: your clutter problem. It sounds like you have lovely ideas for certain items. But if you say the bits for the trike have been sitting in your house for 2 years then I think it's time to let them go. That's the problem with keeping things for an unknown time or person, there's no time limit to get them out of your house because you know what you might do with them but just never get around to it.
Sort everything into piles. Charity shop/dump/definite present for someone's birthday or Christmas. Anything else you could take to a car booty? Good luck!
Thanx both
We already have 5 boxes full of stuff for charity so far, just need to work out how to get it there as I don't drive.
I think I find it harder to get rid of the more expensive bigger stuff as its more noticeable. We currently have a 6ft wooden pool table cluttering up the kitchen that smells all musty and I won't part with it (despite it being hidden under the stairs for the past few years, hence the smell) as I'm sure I can clean the smell off and it will become useful to someone againHistoric Debt August 2009 = £63,600 10th March 2017 = £0 100% paid all gone!
Mortgage started June 2015 = £170,000 January 2022 = £134,000
Saving for Xmas 2022= . . Amazon £55
If you focus on what you have left behind, you won't see what lies ahead - Gusteau0 -

'Regularly' causing mischief is enough to get more than just a PPR0 -
It depends on the situation
Parenting;
Give up; walk away
Give in; spoil them
Give it all you've got; do the best you can for everyone
But when I put it in my signature it was relevant to my situation at the time. I thought it was more about effort;
I knew I should return to work after my treatment;
Give up; don't bother trying to return - get my sick note extended
Give in; go back as I thought I ought
Give it all you've got; go back and try to enjoy it! Nobody would want me to look after them if I didn't put love and care into my work
Well said Logie.
I'm sure it was your courage and determination and positive attitude that helped you.
We should all adopt your signature.
The world would be a better place if we did.0 -

Did a normal shop yesterday to get rid of some APGs and the beef gave a good APG back vs tosco.

Its always hard when there are things to attend or holidays that include eating, which these days seems to be all of them !! budgie smugglers , do not know what legend thought that one up but its so accurate !!
I think everyone looking forward to some sunshine whether home or abroad !!0
