Not a bad week... Saved another £20 note, as well as another £21 per week. Managed to up cycle 3 whicker baskets as loo roll holders from a bathroom storage unit that is being thrown out. 
Was tempted to buy a new bath mat, but found I already had a new one lurking in one of the many storage boxes under the bed. First of 21 declutters done + Bathroom was easy one to kick off with, but shocked at how many products I had accumulated and never used. Going to stop friends giving beauty gift sets for Xmas & bday. Seems pointless as I’m not using them.
Enjoyed no 2 of the 21 Sunday roast dinners. Such a nice way to spend Sunday. Couple more hours of housework done towards my monthly target of 21. Need a cleaning frenzy this week though ... still no leisurely bath!!!!!

Not a great start to say the least! 😞😂 January has been a really tough month for various reasons- nothing drastic or traumatic, just some difficult to deal with stuff! 
However, as the old saying goes, it's not about how many times you're knocked down, it's how many times you get up that matters 😊 I'm planning on doing a 'Fabulous February' - 28 days of concentrating on me, doing things for my own wellbeing and many of these things on my list are included in that 😉 The only way is up!! 🙌
