  • I am three bin bags for the tip and four bag for life bags for the CB so far!! The Shoes and toys have been given a good sort and I feel better already! Still along way to go, but I am happy for a de-clutter and any money can go towards the holiday spends.

    I have spent almost 2 days chasing up my son's passport applications :/ so far, we have an update on one but the other I can't even speak to anyone on!  Very frustrating and not long to go before the holiday now.  I am finding it hard to get excited until I know I have them all.

    I think I will tackle summer clothes next, that way everything that fits and I want to keep I can pack....the others I can get rid of one way or another.

    In other news I am traveling for work tomorrow approx 3.5 hours an overnight stay and returning on Thursday....The gym is going well I currently pay £20 p/m and I am going 1/2 times a week minimum.  So far I have lost 8lbs which is a start!
    Pennies starts again...........2022 - £13,579.22

    Well done on weight loss, exercise and decluttering. That's a pretty good triad of results!

    Hope the remaining passports arrive soon and you can 'relax'
