    Try having the trousers a little lower than normal, helps breathing.
    Hope your day goes well.

    Iol I am having a good day. No work done yet as blood sugars are v low.  I have pulled out a few charity bits from spare room. 

    I can now see a few bits that i can  move round that should give the illusion of more space. I have seen bargain perfume but not bought it as i am going to be a proper minimalist this year. 

    I am going to rest for the rest of the day. I will work all day tomorrow.

    I had the best sleep and feel much better.

    I have £144 in my account left for food, fun and everything and £54 cash which is plenty till the end of the month.

    Step away from the shops and count up how much perfume you have.

    Well done for clearing space and enjoy your rest.

    No nonsense bought over the weekend. No more perfume till mine runs out. A little bit of decluttering has made such a difference upstairs. It is quite clear and cheers me up.

     Only two lessons have been written but i have time tomorrow to write more for the end of the week. By next Friday we will be almost half way through the month! Wonderful as i cant wait to pay off my Christmas credit card bill. All money is set aside for it.

    Keep chipping away at the decluttering and you'll get on top of it all.
    I'm looking forward to payday too.

    Thank you. Things are falling into place, i am glad the house is tidier as the madness at work starts on Thursday and it will be good to have calm at home.
