hello Elly, I thought I would check in and see how you are doing?

Cheers buffy life has got in the road as it always does doing a bootsale this weekend as long as the weather holds up had it ready for sunday and we got snow nightmare . Ebay seems slow and gumtree the same .have cut back massively on the shopping though so thats been good and everyone seems healthier for it .onwards and upwards as they say ,living in awe of jwil and her declutter im tempted just to bin the lot and sit in the sun in my garden when its out lolSo finally debt free and it feels amazing however continuing here to stay debt free.Next declutter house and body and finally swim under that waterfall x0

I will be subscribing to your post Ellie to see how you get on. I don't think I have enough to sell to keep going. You might be able to keep it going longer if you shop when they have reduced food down. I sell stuff on eBay and Facebook. My local FB group is okay but it gets annoying when people don't turn up. I was reading something on the main MSE about the KonMari decluttering - its about only keeping things that bring you joy. This helped me a lot with cleaning out my wardrobe and I am going to keep using it during the year to clear my house. https://www.happier.com/blog/5-life-changing-lessons-the-konmari-decluttering-method-taught-meCompetition wins £14,136.30[\COLOR]0

Good luck Elly, you are doing really well"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0

Sorry I've not posted for a few weeks but I've been on holiday.
Fab news about the carboot! I want to do one on Monday but I boils down to my friend as I sold my car 3 years ago so rely on him to use his car. It's the only thing I muss about not having a car, but I couldn't justify keeping it going just for a few carboot.
Now I'm back I'm deffinately going to list my tat....!
Keep up with your challenge elly68Living a frugal retirement without treading on the planet :T
