Re the snacky things I put mine in a bowl so it seems more of a treat and lasts longer.  I prefer savoury snacks and tend to stick to French fries and Pom Bears. I made a bowl of cherries and grapes yesterday and that seemed quite satisfying if you prefer a sweet fix.

That's a good idea, thank you.  I'm definitely more of a sweet person, so cherries and grapes would be right up my street

Happy Saturday!

3lb off this morning and slimmer of the week!  I'm 1/2lb away from a stone so hopefully next week. I've got a lovely load of home grown produce again (including cucumbers this time I think ) potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, so will look forward to using that. I'm starting to get to know some people in the group now as well, and it seems like a lovely group of people and they are all really positive which helps a lot.

DH has gone out on his bike, so we're just chilling at home today. I'll try and get some sorting done.  DH has sold another 4 lots so some more leaving the house!

Have a good day everyone

Well done on slimmer of the week and good work on all your decluttering. The homegrown produce sounds lovely. I've fond childhood memories of eating fresh peas and tomatoes from my grandma and grandad's garden.

Thank you   I love fresh peas too, I used to be able to buy them but I haven't seen them anywhere for the last couple of years.  I had some of the tomatoes and cucumber with my lunch and they were delicious.  Our garden isn't really condicive to growing things.  I've grown tomatoes before but I'm terrible for remembering to water them.  Maybe I'll have another go in future years as I get more organised.

I've made a good start on the new declutter sheet by having a look through the telephone table which is just a dumping ground for everything that comes into the house.  I've also tackled some paperwork that has been lying around as well.  I've unpacked and put up a mirror that has been standing on the floor in our bedroom in its packaging since the start of the year! 

When I was packing DH's parcels, I sorted through the boxes in the cupboard, reorganising them so the ones I am most likely to need are the easiest to access, and the ones we only likely need on occasion are at the bottom - simple job, but one that I put off forever!  It means I won't have to move so much to get the box I need in the future, and have to move less to do the meter reading as well (which I did at the same time).
