    You are doing so well Jwil.

    I wish I had done a car boot rather than throw and give stuff away as it felt like a missed opportunity...I was just being lazy at the time.

    Decluttering here is at a stand still so I need to start moving on with the last few big areas - the shed, garage and loft :eek:

    We have been spending time sorting out the garden. When the weather is nice it is good to still be doing chores but outdoors to enjoy the sun.

    We planted some beautiful flowers last weekend (or the one before I've lost track) and the garden is looking really pretty!

    Thanks OF, sometimes I just want to give it all away so I can understand! I need the cash though.

    Good luck with the decluttering, I agree, it seems wrong to be indoors when it's nice outside.

    Well the weather improved yesterday so off we went to sell at the car boot. Did pretty well and cleared 54 books amongst other items! :T

    Just went to have a look today, but will be selling again tomorrow. Hopefully clear some more stuff.

    I've pulled out a few bits today to go tomorrow as well, and trying to add some more books.

    Just made the first payments of the month, would like to get some more cleared too.

    Hope everyone is well :)

    Hey everyone, hope you are all well.

    I've lost my mojo a bit the last couple of weeks, hoping to get it back soon! A few more bits gone, some more listed and a few sales going out later.

    The weather isn't looking good for this weekend, so no car booting planned, and hopefully we can get on a bit more with clearing stuff.

    DH has made progress and this week we moved little miss in with little jwil. The first night was awful and I was up pretty much every 45 minutes, but since then she's been better and I'm down to 3 get ups per night, which is much better than I was getting when she was in our room!

    She's also weaning and enjoying her food, though she isn't interested in BLW so just having purees at the moment. Will try again in a couple of weeks.

    I stupidly went and got myself a parking ticket :mad: Took a chance on there not being any wardens around at 8.30am while I popped to a shop. Sadly there were, but the £50 fine was reduced to £25 if I paid within 2 weeks, so that has been done. Means one less payment towards the debts though, stupid me!

    As little miss has moved out of our bedroom, the moses basket and all accessories have gone, so that's great and I can now get out of my side of the bed without obstruction!

    Not much else happening really, hope everyone is doing ok. :)
