  • Happy belated birthday.:)

    I went through one of my drawers and found some bits to donate to a clothes recycling charity. I found one of my sports bras at the bottom of the drawer, I thought I was missing one!:)

    I'm giving away a fluffy green jumper, it feels warm but I don't like it so someone may as well make use of it.

    I gave an old pair of socks to my dogs to play with.:p

    :T Well done to all for your decluttering achievements

    Awful weather here as well.

    Over the weeekend I managed to fill up the garden bin with rotten apples and brambles. Also had a good dusting session.

    The plan for this week is to go through my winter coats / jackets.

    Boots points:£39.21. Extra money in 2012:£674.59. In 2013 £603.48. 2014: £85. 2015: £0 :j
  • Hi all, can I join.
    Cookiemonsta, Happy belated birthday wishes, it was my birthday the same day, (a big one), so I have decided that enough is enough, I will lighten my load and clear my clutter. I spend to much of my time moving things around to do the simplest job.
    Thanks for all the tips and suggestions, I am kondoing when I can, and not adding to the pile.
    I love MSE, Thank you to all who share their journey and knowledge to reach their goals and live a good life on a small income.
    2025 will be a year of necessary challenges and changes, and closing some doors permanently that don’t serve me or are not in my best interest.

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Another hour in the loft this evening:

    - Loads of cardboard boxes to be recycled.
    - 2 bin sacks of recycling - including textiles.
    - 1 bin sack of rubbish.
    - 1 bin sack of stuff for charity shop.
    - 2 carrier bags of stuff for charity shop.
    - A few things to be given away.

    Just a couple of hours work has made such a difference. :)
