    Hiya everyone


    Sorry not been about but was feeling a bit down and depressed. Feeling much better now as I had a great night's sleep (for once) and I've decided to ignore rude people, and their nasty comments, and not let it get to me any more.


    I am still decluttering but have started in the big, big cupboard of files and paperwork. It contains most of our life for the last seven years since we moved here and has to be gone through carefully, making sure I don't bin anything important and remove all personal information. So I have actually emptied about ten files so far and have about another twenty to go - so will be some time :rotfl:


    'See' you all later and hope you have a great week-end


    Lx

    Hey lynnejk,

    Sorry to hear you've been having a rough time. Were these mean comments on facebook? It can be really toxic.

    Glad that you're getting back into the decluttering - it's bound to make you feel better!

    Hugs,

    Cookie

    82. Fridge clear out

    83. Pile of paperwork, sorted, binned, filed as needed

    84. I have gone through all my notes and papers for mycourse and sorted, binned, filed etc.
    85. Returned items by post and to a shop because they don't fit me well.
    I know this doesn't sound like much but these jobs took me hours! Although I now have a headache I do feel a bit more calm and orderly. It is a joy to be able to find clothes in my newly decluttered wardrobe - my clothes actually hang freely now rather than being wedged in there. Perversely I now feel like I have more clothes :D

    Lynnjk - I never see the point of mean comments; what do they do for the world? Hope you are feeling better and good luck with the files :)
