I think I might have my decluttering mojo back........It has been missing a long old time but today, after a positive conversation with mum (on steroids currently, amazing, mum without pain is like mum from WAY back! Bright, chatty, forward looking. Made me a cup of tea!) I spent the day cleaning my room. It doesn't look amazing but I have a working tv! and can get to the window(which I cleaned!) . I went through my clothes another bag to go to the charity shop. Also one bag of rubbish (including litter trays before you all think I am a filthy !!!!!! and one bag of recycling.
Am so tired but it was a good day. I feel like there is progress. XXX

Hello all,
Well it is work CCL, but it has been a rough week personally. My lovely best friend's fabulous mum died on Monday. I haven't been able to get to my friend yet, she is my absolute rock and anchor and I miss her. I can't even write how lovely her mum was so welcoming and kind. Also, had rubbish news about house bun so need to take him to the vets to do the decent thing, I hate doing it this way as I feel like I am fitting it in around other things. But it must be done. my poor little bun. XX
Aside from that work is hell, I love my groups but pressure from leadership is huge and relentless.
One thing mind, no time to spend any money!
