Happy birthday to little jwil. 

We haven’t had sunshine today but no rain so that’s a bonus. 

Hopefully hubby gets his decluttering mood back.  Enjoy takeaway and cake 

Thank you   Yes, dry is better than nothing.  Hope you are having a good weekend

Happy Birthday little jwil! Mines going to be 8 this year too. Seems insane. I can't have an 8 year old. Hope you've had a lovely day celebrating. 

Could stuff for the garage be moved in front of the front door as a hint? Or even in the garden? You're doing so well xxx

Happy Birthday little Jwil. The years seem to have flown by - when you get to having a 17 and 23 year old - you wonder where they went.

Thank you   It's crazy isn't it!  How time flies.

Haha if I stuck stuff in front of the front door, I'd never be able to leave again 😆🙄 It would just sit there.  It will probably all blow up again soon and he'll get on with it.  Hopefully he'll do it before it comes to that though.

Thank you   Yes I can imagine, and dread that!

DH has gone to the tip so at least we can get to the shed now, and can get the trampoline out.  It's a lovely sunny day again today.

I've been catching up with all of the admin stuff this morning.  Hoping to chill out a bit this afternoon in the sun.

I clearly have not been paying attention. Your mortgage has seriously shrunk! Wow! I'm jealous. 
I'm a pain for taking on the jobs that seem to take forever without much benefit but do need going through properly. Like filling away all the paperwork and getting rid of some of it. Or going through magazines. I used to rip out the pages I hadn't read yet and put the rest in recycling. Drove hubby nuts. 
Your debts seem tiny now too! You're amazing. I really hope someone consider your offer. Be lovely to be down to 2 or 3. You have so turned this around. Xxxx

You have made huge progress. Hope you enjoyed some time out in the sun this weekend.
