    Wish I could ignore it but it's where my desk is for working from home.  I can hear the doors creaking behind me while it holds all the rubbish in there :lol:

    My room in my mum's house is the same! I keep pretending that I'm sorting it out as I'm taking things into my flat but it just isn't true . :lol: Good luck with your rooms of doom!

    UH OH!! 

    Good luck with your rooms of doom!
    Thanks!  Getting there slowly.   It's very therapeutic having a mass clear out.  Found so many things to sell... it'll all go to more OPs!

    So far I've sold some furniture, electronics, clothes.   Stuff we don't need/want anymore.   Normally I would charity shop smaller things but they're not open here yet.

    Same here - I keep saying that we'll take it once this house is sorted and de-cluttered but that's not happening any time soon :lol:

    Made an easy £120 today, running a small errand for work.   Then this afternoon had to spend it on a new car battery.  
    Easy come, easy go!  :lol:

    Oh no!  I think there are a lot of people who will be having car issues after spending so much time at home over the last few months.
