    Busy week but we've survived the first week of the summer holidays :)

    Went out for dinner last night for a birthday and wasn't allowed to pay for our lot, so I've moved £30 across to the mortgage this morning to compensate :)

    Thanks guys. I have a LOT of Kondoing to do, but hopefully it's all progress to the end result.

    £16.06 landed from TCB today so sent that across to the mortgage

    Decluttering and cleaning really do return your home to you, don't they. Lovely! Hope you slept well after that lot ...

    Let's just say I'm very tired lol. More tidying and sorting has been done today with a trip to the tip. Went to L!dl and whilst at the check out the guy told us there was a £5 voucher in the magazine on the windowsill so we grabbed one and saved £5 on the shopping, so I OP'd that this afternoon.
