Well done on decluttering. I followed your example and threw away about 15 small items - mainly the children's small toys like party bag fillers. The small stuff really adds up, when you think about it.

The one thing I will disagree with you on getting rid of is no 23, sauce sachets. My children love having them with dinner. They are also handy for when we go on trips out, as we have things like cocktail sausages or chicken nuggets. Ours sachets live in the cutlery drawer, as we have a spare compartment.

Well done on decluttering, half the time I don't know where the junk has even come from.
Agree regarding the sauces, but these were well out of date and had been stuck in the drawer of doom in the kitchen for some reason, usually I put them in the fridge and DS uses them. They were from KFC, I can't even remember the last time we had KFC.

Morning.

Feeling much brighter this morning, weather is pants today though and I have a pile of washing to do.

Couple of small sales yesterday, £6.50 has been sent to mbn@. Tomorrow when the children have left for camping I want to get all CC paperwork looked at and note down in my diary when different BTs finish and what I should be over paying and when. I know my mr T CC has 3 different BT on it 2 finish In 2018, but i'm sure 1 will finish November this year. Barc card has a lifetime BT of 2.9% so I pay just over the minimum every month by rounding up. But I need to do a proper sort out.

Need to nip to B&M this morning to pick up some snacks for the kids to take camping, main meals are covered but I have 2 hungry teenagers, so will get some cereal bars, popcorn and other bits, also giant marshmallows have been requested. Will then help them pack as DS won't think about clean underwear or a toothbrush:eek:.
Just going to do a generally tidy around today, going to do a proper clean once children have gone, which will include deep clean of 2 teenage bedrooms:(:eek:, wish me luck. Wonder if I should buy myself one of those all in one bio hazard suits to wear before entering :rotfl:.

Morning.

Not much to update really, Sent £7 this morning to MBN@.

DH doing my head in, he is like having a 3rd stroppy teenager in the house and quite frankly I cannot be ars£d with him at the moment. I may just have nipped to the PO later when he comes home for lunch as he is just irritating me. Shame he couldn't have gone off camping but then he wouldn't be centre of attention, he's taken a day off tomorrow which I should be happy about but I know he will just get under my feet, also I wasn't asked if I had any plans because of course I don't have plans, or any thing to do, or a life, so anything i'm doing must be dropped/stopped. Yet if I needed him to take a day off I must give him at least 3 months notice, have a back-up plan, nag him everyday and then 3 days before he might remember that I need him to take a day off, oh and god forbid if I don't write it o the calender, texting him everyday for 3 weeks solid just isn't actual proof that I need him to take that day off, no the only way it is set in stone is when it is scribbled on the calender that no F***er ever looks at:mad:.

Sorry rant over .
