Errr no to be honest it is not a huge loss to me in the slightest.I was very put off by the first chapter or two. She's a weird woman, but by the time you get to the end you can take some useful stuff from the book.
I'll always be messy though. My drawers and wardrobe are now lovely but I still throw my clothes on the floor at the end of the day.Mortgage (Start Sep 2014)- £70,295/£0 - 100%

As I got well, I had tidy-up after tidy-up - as you say, beanie, there can be more important things to think about! But as the house got tidier, it did feel more pleasant to be in. Maybe it was just that *I* was feeling better, but it did feel as though having a couple of rooms tidy made them more pleasant to be in (the kitchen is a tip, the pantry is a tip, the office is a tip).2023: the year I get to buy a car1

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
