    I am awake - Always awake so like a weirdo I have cleaned the kitchen.

    P'd off that the hot water bottle i made has slipped out the bed, maybe I need glasses but lets hope not as attempting to save every penny.

    I'm avoiding spending like its poison. Lovely HM food today Chicken and peas in black bean sauce it was delicious.

    HM Curry with Chicken planned for tomorrow - Maybe I will venture out to get some veg to add to it to bulk it out.

    I need to get milk - which is a PITA but also need to post sold items so can all be done in one hit.

    I have company at the weekend so happy days so need to carefully plan what we are eating so not to blow my budget.

    I must remember to change the phone/ Internet .

    Done my banking shuffle and monies are all good till end of month.

    Hi Sam

    Have a great day :D

    For phone / internet I recommend Virgin. If you want I can recommend you and we both get a wee boost. PM me for details ;)

    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

    All sounding good Sam :)

    Good to read you are making nice food to take care of yourself.
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

    Well flat needs a massive speed tidy tomorrow but I will think about that then :D

    Got My t3sco gift card :j but have to print it (fgs);)

    I have a big to do list tomorrow:o maybe I'm just a bit OCD :D
    • Catch up with a deadline report at work (estimate it will take me 4 hrs to half a day if motivated :p)
    • Cleaning
    • Listings on Ebay
    • Food shopping (after meal planning and making a list)
    • Find some jeans for friend
    • Beauty Routine - Face packs and all that malarkey
    • Pick up a pint glass
    • Give away the big bottle of Jim beam in the kitchen
    • Get shot of the washing machine (I know)
    • Sort out electric - and make a note of reading I think its like ..284..or something at the moment That will help me work out what amount i am actually using.
      Oh yes and most importantly find some motivation to not sleep in and do all of the above :D

    whenever people think I’m crazy, I know I am usually on the right path. icon_wink.gif
    Downsize my wardrobe ..not including shoes tho


    To clear out tomorrow
    1. Anything with shoulder pads, even if they are making a comeback.
    2. School jeans that haven’t buttoned since school.
    3. That formal dress you bought for one occasion.
    4. Your ex-anyone’s anything.
    5. Christmas sweaters.
    6. Things that are ripped, broken zipped or have holes that aren’t supposed to be there.
    7. Pieces you can see through unintentionally ;P
    8. Those super cute shoes that you can’t walk in without looking like a drag queen
    9. Sentimental items that make you sad probably because they don't fit
    10. The warm coat you don’t wear. Someone needs it more than you.
    11. items that don’t fit now and never will..
    12. Clothes you are saving for painting, gardening, rags
    13. Pieces that need to go to the tailor that never get to the tailor.
    14. The expensive dress they said you would wear again, and you know you won’t.
    15. Hats you don’t wear even though everyone says you look good in hats.
    16. Ill-fitting bras. Feature your features :P
    17. Bags - You only need one of every colour ** this is my weakness
    18. Clothes that don’t belong to you. Give them back.
    19. Anything with a weird mark /or smell that won’t wash out..eeeewww
    20. Clothing or shoes that leave a mark or blister because you are in denial that your size 7 feet will fit into size 5 boots
    21. Scarves that don’t go with anything you currently own and you brought because it was in the sale for like 2 quid ..
    22. Clothes that don’t allow your underwear to be under :P
    23. Anything you have to squeeze in to.
    24. Clothes you bought on a whim that you won’t wear where you live.
    25. Trousers that are longer /shorter than they are supposed to be.
    26. Shirts that are tighter than they are supposed to be.
    27. Sequins and sparkles i.e OTT - prefer simple and subtle.
    28. Anything with a wine stain that won’t come out...
    29. Guilt items. If you spent too much for it, dump the guilt. You’ll keep paying for it in time and attention if you don’t let it go now.
    30. Multiples. Just because it looked good in cream doesn’t mean you need it in every colour. One is enough.
    31. The top or bottom of a suit. They aren’t sold separately for a reason.
    32. Clothes you can pet, brush or sticky roller and they still look just as bad
    33. Gym clothes that don’t go to the gym!!!


    I'm reading your old posts, this is excellent! I need to apply this to the remains of my clothes :)
