    Tori you are right, lol. I am a bit scared of chucking out what I might need in the future. Hopefully I have plenty of time to decide whether to be completely ruthless.

    To be honest my house is pretty clutter free but its just my storage room that needs a shake up. But my new mantra is a clear house is a clear mind and all that. It is cheering me up and is a lot better than marking. :rotfl::rotfl:

    Weather is lovely after a cloudy start to the day. I did one lot of marking it took most of the day. I threw some tat from spare room in the bin. I have found some shoes that I can put in the carboot.

    Tomorrow I will be going on a trip with some work friends to London. I am quite excited.

    Enjoy your trip SW !


    Well done on the clothes rail, it will be an investment ! you can use it for car booting and then use it in your newly de-cluttered storage room to hang all your lovely clothes that you want to keep/wear :D

    Thank you so much Skinty. I hope you had a good day. I have watered the garden and am going to have an early night I think. I am so glad it is payday. I have paid my dad back £50 and have paid off my credit card too. I had to borrow £25 from this month's pay though.

  • Wow that is a belter of a lie in!

    I'm lucky if I can sleep past 9am now, would just love one day to wake up at noon.

    Glad you have the nice weather, its not very sunny in Glasgow today.

    Hope you enjoy your day.
