Thanks jwil. It is rather mad just now.
This morning I sorted through 6 large boxes as I had 'lost' something critical to uploading photos. I asked DD2 to check the drawer again-she had looked yesterday and said it wasn't there...guess what? Yes, it was in the drawer all along and not lost at all.
On the upside I have sorted out 6 boxes.
Busy sorting more stuff out now.

That's so annoying when that happens, it happens here all the time!

Well done on sorting stuff out though

Right, new month and I need to get some stuff done. So it's target setting time.
To do:
1) Paperwork-I think I have about 4 hours worth-maybe 6, it depends how long it takes me to get my head around it. paperwork is in hand.
2) declutter-either make £200 or get rid of 50 items, whichever happens first, that's my interim target. I'm trying to compensate for the unexpected expense of last month. So ideally I need to make £500+ only achieved a tenner
3) use cash back sites more yep, I have been doing this
4) kon Marie loads of stuff-at least 100 items need to go-i won't be individually listing them all on here though, too time consuming when I need to do loads of other stuff failed miserably
5) achieve 10 no spend days completely lost track but probably failed
6) cut the grocery bill, I haven't done the final tally yet, but I know I failed miserably last month and I need to do much better
That'll do for now. Best get on with it,:)

yep, I think I have managed to cut the grocery bill
ok, so over all, last month was an epic fail to be fair.
Unfortunately, real life got in the way somewhat, it isn't good times in the tattycath household at the moment.
I'm hoping to try and get myself back in the game this month. I will set some new targets and make a concerted effort to achieve my objectives.

Don't beat yourself up, though, Cath - life throws things in the way at times, and this is a long trip x

New targets for this month:
7 no spend days
Save £400
Sell some stuff and make some Money £200 target
Kon Marie 70 items.
That will do to be going on with.

Last month wasn't an epic fail if you are dealing with other stuff. Good luck for this month's targets. Don't put unnecessary pressure on yourself though xx

Hi, just been reading through your diary. You have achieved so much and I love all the challenges you set yourself. Am going to try some of those myself! You certainly shouldn't beat yourself up - you are an inspiration
