Sold a set of crockery, gumtree this time, only £5 cash but it all helps, I've got a very healthy Xmas jar now ready for buying goodies. Won't be working over Xmas so hopefully I'll see some family to share it with. The crockery buyer took it away in a box padded out with my carrier bag collection so that's another win for the space. This afternoon I decluttered a nice bath bomb from last Xmas into a hot bath. I usually only bath on Sunday but I fancied a hot bath when I got back at lunchtime today. Hot chocolate now and a rummage for more stuff to declutter.

Wednesday is another dry, cold, crisp day. Actually set my alarm clock for 9:30 but didn’t get up until 10:30 😔 I will try to do better tomorrow 🤞 Day 2 - went into town to bank new cheque from my friend after sending her an email & phoning her 😉. Cheque banked, returned home & phoned her again. She has contacted her bank & they have noted their records. Hopefully they won’t cancel the cheque AGAIN 🤞
DSis vacuumed downstairs whilst I was out 👏 DH had filled the bird & squirrel feeders & water bowls. 

Continuing my Day 2 - I have moved all the books from my bedroom bookshelf either into a box in the spare room or onto shelves in DH’s office. 

Quick note for everyone who still uses snail mail 😉 Royal Mail are putting up prices in January +9p on 1st Class to 85p & +1p on 2nd Class to 66p. I see a spending spree tomorrow - for me nothing beats getting a card or letter & I still think the prices are reasonable for the distances involved. 

2250 - 2256 Plastic bottle, cardboard box, newspaper, paper packaging, 4 plastic takeaway boxes & lids - Recycled

Good work EnergyShifter 👏 

Great work Happy_Kitties 👏 Helping a friend is far more important than decluttering 😇

What a great result stellata 👏 especially using your supply of carrier bags as padding 👏👏. What a blissful afternoon stellata ☺️

DSis finished her Chinese takeaway. DH & I had a mishmash dinner - mushrooms in cream, covered with the last of the sausage casserole & topped with fried eggs with crusty bread. Somehow it worked & was 😋

A broken jar has gone into the bin and I have binned a cheap santa thing that has now only got one foot. 
Bits and pieces are leaving my house. x
