    Well done for resisting the sale especially as you don’t need anything.

    Well done on fitting in the jeans and avoiding the sale!

    Friday at last! Just work today and no spending as I’m still in limbo until next Fridays car bill.
    I plan to do some more decluttering at the weekend and am quite looking forward to it. I might even put some things back on the bay that didn’t sell last time…we shall see! 
    It feels really cold today and I have my fingerless bamboo gloves on at my desk…I’m giving off 19th century tramp vibes, all I need is a tin cup 😬
    I hope you all have a good day ☕️

    happy Saturday 🌟☕️ I hope you have nice things planned.
    I have my 9lb badge today 🥁 🎺 We are going out for lunch though, so it may be gone tomorrow 😅 Still, it’s very nice to see it and I know it will come back 😁. I have finally got back to my topmost weight, that I said I’d never get higher than 🤭
    I have been following a decluttering/minimalist person on Instagram that is doing a March challenge. You throw out something per day. It starts with one thing and moves up through the dates, so today I need 4 things. It’s very easy to find old receipts, paperwork, ill fitting clothes, mismatched socks, etc. in my cupboards, so I won’t have a problem even as the dates get higher. 
    I am still pining for the loss of my car, but it’s not too long until it can get fixed on Friday. I don’t like not having it ready to jump into 😢 
    Do let me know what you are getting up to 🌟

    Good morning

    Well done on your weight loss. I've lost 2.5 lbs since I posted that I was making an effort. I'm a slow loser too so I'm happy with that. It's a housework weekend for me - I have some catching up to do.

    Not a lot planned here this weekend. My ds is coming around tomorrow and I’m cooking a Jamie recipe of lamb with chickpeas and preserved lemons.

    Good morning and happy Sunday ☕️ 
    MrWW is at work so dog decided 7am was quite enough for my lie in 😢 
    Yesterday I removed some old mugs as part of the March clutter free challenge. It should have been 4 things on the 4th, but I easily found about 8 that hadn’t been touched for many years. Today I need 5 things, which shouldn’t be a problem as I’m going to clean out at least one set of bedroom drawers. I need to keep busy so I don’t eat the house while I am stuck inside and unsupervised 😅
    I came back to bed while my hair is drying and nearly all of the pets have come with me. Dog is snoring in her memory foam giant bed with all her fleecy blankets and the cats are giving themselves very thorough baths next to me. Everyone will get up again when I do to see if there is second breakfast or more treats. 
     Let us know how the lamb turns out @milann I would never think of using preserved lemons for anything! 
    @CRANKY40 I hope you survive the housework. I’m not a fan, but it always needs doing 😖
