I have just done ironing. The weather is gorgeous. I have listed the crossdresser on fleabay let's see if it sells. Skinty to be honest all this decluttering has made me happy as my tidying is so much quicker now as there is less tat in the way so I am going to leave Henry till half term.
To do: a bit of marking, rest.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -
Fingers crossed it sells!
I'm trying to do the same but on Facebook Marketplace.

Good luck Deleted_User - no one seems interested in mine, I think after January might be a better time but I posted as Fleabay had an offer on.
I didn't have a day off this week. I hope the week get's better. Im taking tonight off.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -
It can be a nightmare can't it.
Someone was supposed to meet me yesterday for a pair of shoes at 10am, I waited until 10.15am and sent her 3 messages. I had to go back to work then she messaged me at 10.30am are you here :mad:
Eh no I'm not, selling the shoes to someone else now.

Oh dear Dolly thank goodness you managed to sell them.
I was doing so well (buying sweets for my students was all I had bought £2) then I came home vv late yesterday and had no decent hot food in the house and ordered a Chinese! (£15. YIKES!!!!!). I have eaten most of it but there is still a bit for tomorrow.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -
I'll totally join you on the "is October 31st too early to put up my Christmas tree?". I'd happily have my decorations up all year round - the house always feels so sad and empty in January once they come down
I genuinely think I might be presented with divorce papers if I tried that though :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
The decluttering sounds like it's going really well. On one hand, I really want to do the same but on the other, I spend so little time at home anyway that what little time I do spend there I don't want to spend decluttering!MFW2023 challenge #99: £1090.11 / £1,000 MFiT-T6 (Jan 2022 - Jan 2025) challenge #99: Reduce mortgage to £400,000.

mm yummy... haven't had a chinese for a very long time. they are SO expensive though! fills you up though and you have extra for tomorrow so there's that at least
I always keep chips or garlic bread for those days when I come home and don't want to cook or have nothing good to cook with
