    Hi All,

    We are back from our holiday which was wonderful, thought inspiring but most of all relaxing.

    We visited Genoa, Pisa, Rome including the Vatican, Cannes which was setting up for the Film Festival which starts tomorrow, Palma and Soller in Majorca.

    We met a lovely couple who only live 35 miles from us so plan to stay in touch.

    I have SW WI on Thursday night, so hoping to declutter a little of me before then.

    All the best
    Gilly

    Yes, Mrs SD I do need to move up into my loft. It soooo needs reorganising. Once upon a time it was nice and tidy then hubby went up there. It looks like a tornado has happened. Most of the stuff up there are broken down cardboard boxes, from when we moved. We are planning to move next year so they they will come in handy then.
    I do not want to move with any excess 'stuff' so onwards and upwards...

    I love it when I can trade produce with my neighbours re:spinach

    Hubby mowed the lawn and decluttered the lawn of any dandelions.

    Sold three things so they've been posted. Boots binned. Another bag started for C.S.
    Sorted and listed a few more things to sell. Slow going but I am starting to see a difference.

    Hi All

    My plan to declutter yesterday went awry as DGS (7 months) was in hospital all day, so spent the day either at the hospital or looking after DD's dogs. The good news is he was allowed home and seems much better today.

    I have now booked an extra day off, to try to get my head back in the game,

    Our H/S/L have been decorated so as we put stuff back we are going to evaluate if it is really needed, either useful or loved.

    771 - Destroyed dog toy to bin
    772 - 776 Empty bottles to recycling
    777 - 778 Magazines to recycling

    The grass has also been cut and gone into green recycling

    Have a good day all
    Gilly x

    218-225: 8 food items that I can't use (either because not suitable for coeliacs or require a microwave) taken to the local food bank.
    226: Receipts checked against bank statement and torn up
    227: Files and emails deleted from PC and phone.
    228-230: fridge clearout, still overcalculating :o
