The yearly plan sounds like a good plan jwil £10k of debt clearance on top of all your other bills sounds a lot but if anyone can do it you can. :T
We've got workman here fitting our new cloakroom at long last. Two lovely (well to me) lads and when I asked if they would put the blind up, loo roll holder and mirror as DH couldn't and I'd not managed the electric drill they didn't hesitate :T0 -

Thanks retiredI'll be very surprised if I get anywhere near 10k, but I might as well be ambitious
Yay to the new cloakroom, it will be nice to see it done. That sounds like you've got some great workmen there, worth every penny!"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -
Well I have cleaned the oven :T Still got the trays soaking but the rest is done.
That's cleared out 3 bottles of oven cleaner! I had the new one and found 2 part ones under the sink so used them all up.
I also sorted out the under the sink cupboard so decluttered a bottle of window cleaner that has degraded(!), a bottle of drain unblocker in the bath as one of the dogs is needing regular baths at the moment for a skin condition, so the bath keeps getting full of dog hair, and a packet of tea lights which I will send to my Mum as I don't use them and she does.
Two more sales on ebay today, so will get them posted today.
I'm going to add an ebay listings category to my declutter page - they won't count until they sell, but it will be nice to see how much we get listed this year.
Trying to do the odd survey as well today, to try and catch up with them."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -

Great start on the decluttering and EBay sales.
I go through the house on a regular basis very much aware that if things get too much for me we may have to downsize further.0 -

Not sure which, it was smoking on Sunday so was desperately needed :rotfl:
I just feel so much better than I did for the last 9 months - pregnancy does not suit me at all. It's nice to be able to do stuff again!"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0
