I wish I had your drive. My decluttering/organised has shuddered to a halt...
Re washing, it is harder at this time of year when it can't be dried outside...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

Think my total Nov sales will come in at £285 think I'm exhausted with 3bay for a while.
One delayed Xmas present for plus one but not overly worried yet.
Need to return some boots...which I will sort out ASAP.
Nothing much to report.

I have £95 on v*ery, and waiting for the credit card to update so I can pay that off too.
Need to replace bulbs in car (20 years old lol) so will find out cost of those.
So looking at a spend week.
Decluttering is still going well, I could get a little more ruthless but if I find I don't need these things I will find someone who does.
Need to budget for Xmas food, crackers and that sort of thing so will make a list or find one online as a checklistso I can space it out over the next three weeks.

Just an update, money is all OK for December (fingers crossed emoji)
Pretty exhausted and in a bit of a fug but will push on this week. Not buying anything else now lol can't cope with it.
Need to shop for Xmas food but 10 days to go yet. Interesting meals as we are eating up stocks and soups.

Well done eating from stores and making lots of soup.
You'll be able to get some bargains I expect if you leave it until next week.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

I've caved and got the meat today. Anything else I will be a savy shopper and wait. In tier 4 yipee, not but totally understand the need to stay in.
Been in a bit of a fug and a little poorly but tomorrow is a better day.
I have been saving some new pj for Xmas eve so that's me sorted
On a small declutter tomorrow if I can be bothered, last few bits now.

It was probably a good idea to get the meat today. I went shopping for food to see us through to the end of the year today too and the shelves were looking pretty bare where I am. We're only tier 3 though and there's a strong panic buying culture here. Whenever there's any gossip about lockdown (or shut ports or whatever) people flock to the shopsSorry you're not feeling great. Hopefully you'll feel better in the next couple of days and have a nice Christmas!Start Debt Jun 2020 = £10,036 - Current £5,894 | #324 £1,000 Emergency Fund Member - £2052

Hope you are feeling better.
I compromised on meat and having lamb from the freezer and will be shopping for YS Christmas dinner after Christmas. I have to agree with Ceremony as the shelves were pretty bare where I am too.
Ooh new PJs. A lovely treat for youIf 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
