    Yes Karmcat I do find it good to do.
    For me apart from everything else it reminds me that I might have a very small income & I often struggle I am really blessed in many ways.

    Thanks beanie. Her income is fine now, but she remembers her struggles as a young married woman, I think thats who she identifies with most. I'm so glad you get positive feedback from doing it, into your own life.

    Sounds good, I did much the same in terms of PJs but no decluttering though I thought about it - does that count?

    Chanting today :)

    A couple of cards that I must write tonight.
    One I need to find the address for, & one I need to get an address for.

    Council tax is still not resolved.
    It just goes on & on sadly.

    Milann reading your Perranporth beach story - we used to go there every year for our hols when the kids were little. My DS had a thing about digging really deep holes in the sand, hope it wasn't one of his :rotfl:

    Beanie - boo to the CT not being sorted yet :(
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping) -.literally have been run over by a bike, mobility scooter and a car - still here 💪

    The council tax is dragging on as you say - are you waiting for them to make a decision or is the hold up for another reason? x
