    it feels so good when you have a bit of a clear out and a tidy up doesn't it? I'm trying to put something in every charity bag that we get (and we get a few!)
    Bet the tulips look lovely. Nothing like a nice bunch of flowers to make a room look cheerful. I love daffodils too.

    Absolutely! And it feels like real spring clean weather too I think. Good luck with your own decluttering. The tulips do look really lovely. :)

    How many times have you looked at the dining table since you tidied it? When I tidy something, I have to keep going back to look at it, I don't know why and I don't know if it's weird.

    That's so funny because I know just what you mean :rotfl: must be a weird brain thing:rotfl:
    Oh I love a nearly cleared space! Makes me very happy.

    Just catching up on your diary and feeling all inspired by your motivation, so thanks for sharing. :)

    Thank you TOPM The only trouble then is you notice how untidy other areas are (we won't look at those):rotfl:

    Hello Everyone

    I have had a really good day already and there is still a while to go!

    Wealth

    * Had a event enquiry last night. Closed the deal and been paid by 9am!

    * Have had three client meetings this morning. One with this weekend comings event holder, one with someone doing an event in March, and one with someone just making enquiries at this stage. I am very excited at the prospect of working with the new client (& can't deny that the fact they have an awful lot of followers on social media could be amazing for PR) From what I can see there is a core of users within that particular demographic and they all know each other, and support each others doings. Get one and you are on the inside track to potentially 100,000+ people. No pressure then....

    * After leaving got an email from a marketing agency looking for space for a top food brand to do a launch. And there I will say it never rains it pours!

    Health

    * I had such a good night's sleep last night. Was in bed by 10 with the lights off. Went through to 6.30ish.

    * It's such a beautiful day again. Walked through one park on my way to the library (DDs napping so I'm using the free wi-fi) other than the fact it's still chilly you'd think it was spring properly.

    Organisation

    * Another Mum emailed to arrange a playdate for half term so just sorting that out. We really want to go and see family too but ill health may be a concern. Don't want to land on people who may feel obliged to have us when they aren't 100%.

    * Managed to whizz to the supermarket between school drop off and meetings so a quick easy sausage and mash for us all tonight.

    Right have a good day everyone.

    Bob

  • Well aren't you having one ridiculously positive day?! Lovely when that happens, even in the face of the stress of actually achieving all the work that will now be booked. Hope it continues to pour.

    Divorcing, unclear on final debt total right now, but focusing on building a financial buffer zone.

    I too know what you mean about having to keep going back to look at a tidied area/cupboard Bop. :rotfl: I did that recently when I cleaned my kitchen cupboards & drawers and put protective non-slip liner in them. Kept opening them to admire the tidiness. :o

    Sounds like a great day Bob. :j:beer: I love tulips, I think I'll buy some for myself later in the week. Just have to stop my daft cats trying to eat them. :cool::rotfl:

    What a great day :D
    Let’s just pretend I have not been alternately drowning in debt or only eating toast to try and pay it off for the last 20 years 😭
  • All very positive today Bob :D xx

    The husband has tidied THE GARAGE today so looking at it involves going outside and unlocking the garage door. I'm going to be exhausted by bedtime...

    Bob, sounds like you are having a great day!

    Thank you! I know you are self employed too. It's an adrenaline ride isn't it. :o
