    :rotfl:Went to see some show homes today!!!! Wow they are amazing but realised that the main reason they are amazing is because there is no family clutter!!! ........... can’t really leave them behind so have decided to start decluttering instead:rotfl:

    I've slightly started that too !!! Kitchen almost done, just a couple of bits and bobs you uncle ;)

    It's amazing, I love it and can't wait, but will take me a very very l o n g time. However I'm going to keep at it :)

    Another amazing thing, is you have reached your target 2 months early :j Well done and Keep going . . . :D
    Always have 00.00 at the end of your mortgage and one day it will all be 0's :dance:

    Spent £40 today taking my kids to a science festival!!!! They were very grumpy and unappreciative. I wish I’d put the money to my mortgage instead!!

    When you've finished your decluttering, can you pop round to SJ Towers and sort ours out?? I wonder if its possible to declutter the kids alongside all their plastic **** (insert whatever adjective you prefer).
    MFW: Was: £136,000.......Now: £47,736.58......

    Just because we don't often post we are still here, cheering you on from the sidelines :)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)
