Thanks all. I will have to go back on reduced hours initially but I need to get back.
It's cold here today but quite sunny. We had two flurries of snow yesterday but luckily it didn't stick. The sun has put me in a decluttering mood. Anyway DS has just been decluttered to school and I'm going to hit the house hard after popping to @ldi.
Hopefully by the time you hear from me again it will be emptied. I still think that someone is shoving stuff up through the floor though.
I will be back.1 debt v's 100 days chapter 34: T3sco bank CC £250/£525.24 47.59%

I know exactly what you mean about someone shoving stuff up through the floor. I don't get how I've been constantly throwing stuff out for years and there is still more to do...
Hopefully getting the house clearer will help make things easier to cope with when you go back to work. Plan to be tired, so if you can get things organised (and the family on board to help with laundry, tidying, meals etc) and maybe some batch cooking done, it will help enormously.
You're doing incredibly well, and hopefully being back at work will be a positive step.0 -

Oh no. I feel bad now. I'm so flaky it's untrue.
It's true, I've become obsessed with decluttering and can't seem to focus on anything else at the moment. Plus I'm going back to work after easter so time is running short. It would be so nice to have to house completely decluttered by Christmas.
I have an appointment this Afternoon with the oncologist and should get the results of my latest CT scan. It would be an understatement to say I'm feeling a little anxious. Fingers crossed I will be put forward for the operation which couldn't be done in January. I will keep you informed.
Money is still tight. I have been awarded PIP which has helped. I didn't think I would get it to be honest so it's a bit of weight off my shoulders.
I do read all your diaries but have little time to comment as DS keeps nicking my phone. He is such a cheeky devil.
Anyway time to wash the brushes (I've been painting). Then get ready for later.
