    Well, I never, ALK - I do believe you are in the same train of thoughts as most of us. Decluttering means "extra cash"

    This is excellent progress, keep up the good work. Sometime soon I'll be reading - your getting your roof fixed:T

    :rotfl: Not really. The main motivation for decluttering is because the house is terribly untidy and my wife has been nagging me for years to get rid of some of the "junk". I now see it's of little use to us. :o

    Yeah, do need to get on with raising the cash for the roof. I'll be very disappointed to see the money go on it, to be honest but will hopefully be motivated to earn some more for toys. :D Yes, yes, I know ... ;)

    "Bookmarking this so I can quote it next year when Alex takes his family to see it" :rotfl:. In all seriousness Alex, I went to see it with some friends despite 'knowing' I woudn't like it - it was actually great fun and I challenge you to see it and not come out smiling. (Not the film though - Colin Firth should stick to wading out of lakes in breeches rather than trying to sing :D.)

    Evening all...Have been AWOL for a long time but have kept up with the posts.

    Happy one year diary - very belated I know.

    Our house is also being kondoed but on a slow and steady pace, which suits us - with the studying that I have to do plus for future plans.

    Own mortgage going down slowly and steadily.

    Hope that you are ok, as with everyone else.

    SIL

    There's not a chance I'll be booking tickets to see Mamma Mia, Gally. :rotfl:

    You may have got me to clear some of the things I no longer need in the house and fill in a spreadsheet or two but you won't get me to go to Mamma Mia. Not. A. Chance. :D

    Can't say I've seen any of those, either. Though there's very few films I can be bothered to sit through, to be honest.

    When we had a TV, my wife used to like watching trashy programmes whilst doing her work and would likely have mind numbing films like that on in the background. Quite glad she goes to her girlfriends' places if she wants to do that now. :rotfl: Son has asked if we can have a TV once recently... :eek:
