    Sorry to hear about your pooch, hopefully it's been caught early and you will have some positive news. 

    We are forever decluttering here but it's easier now the children are bigger and have less stuff.

    Keep up with those steps and runs as it's good for decluttering the mind too.

    I'm going to take inspiration from tour decluttering endeavours SJ, even if it's only to make sure I get the recycling out every week! We are very rural and can't see neigh ours, and even with a reminder alarm I often forget, or can't be bothered wheelbarrows everything to the top of the drive. The result of course is that it just builds up in the house/coal shed, and often we end up taking it to the tip! What a waste of time! 

    Not taking inspiration from you taking the decorations down though - ours will ne staying up until something more cheerful happens. Last year that was the arrival of the daffodils - they finally came down on Feb 28th 😮😂😂

    Very impressed with your decluttering and trampoline assembly! Also with your candle collection 😁  

    Commiserations on the lack of PB won - nothing for us either, pah!
