    I agree with  @IzzyBee, I think if you’re ever looking for a career change you could open your own business decluttering people’s homes. 
    It’s amazing how much more spacious rooms look when you have a clear out. 
    I think I’d find that a nightmare. It’s hard enough decluttering with DD behind me crying “it’s a toilet roll leftover please stop the tears. I don’t think you are that attached to it” 😂😂😳 

    Imagine doing that to people I don’t know. I think I’d get a few black eyes. 🤣

    I don’t mind my stuff as it’s really therapeutic. It’s a way of coping and moving forward. It also stops me spending! X

    Can’t  believe I’m up to page 10 already.
    I know I had a lot of lurkers who liked my posts but I lost a lot of them as my diary was deleted a lot quicker than I expected  and I also needed to make sure I didn’t inadvertently share my new diary with someone I didn’t want reading it. 

    It feels good to be able to post honestly again. I’m still rubbish with money 😂
    I still owe on my credit card 😳
    But I’m working towards paying it off.

    Thanks Izzy. I think the other diary wasn’t a true reflection anymore because I was filtering what I was writing. It didn’t feel real or honest x

    What happened was really bad. Your diary should be a safe space to be yourself. Onwards and upwards 💪

    Releaseeee daaaaayyyyyy! 
    Whoop whoop!

    the car is loaded and once DD is ready I’ll be going to the tip! So rock and roll! Hoping it will be quiet this morning after the England match last night.

    I’ve got one load of washing on already and the will be hung out once It’s done.

    I bought a ring last night after having a gin. Another reason I should not drink. It was £90 but no excuse. That coupled with the other furniture set has just put credit card back up so I’m a little annoyed with myself this morning. Especially as I can’t cancel the other furniture set. I have been looking for a ring to just wear as I’ve felt bare on my hands for months. It didn’t need buying last night though. I can’t cancel it because it’s via a sales site. Not very happy with myself this morning. I will focus on getting it paid though as I always do.

    Other than the mountain of ironing, tip, collecting package and shopping, I don’t plan on doing anything else today.

    Enjoy xx

    Tip and fuel are done. Just waiting on the other shops opening for them to be done too.

    packaged up the for sale items as a couple end today so they are also ready for addresses and to go. 

    Just enjoying breakfast in the garden with a coffee before I’ll be heading out. Hoping to be back home before lunch so the afternoon is mine. Dreading tackling that mountain pile of ironing. Should not have left it 😳
