    another NSD today! I feel like I'm on a roll! I have a few things I need to order but I;ve been adding them to the cart and waiting, so I can decide if I really need them, plus if I have enough items I can get a discount + free shipping! I'll keep it until I have a spend day (probably tomorrow).
    @laura_lau I do the same only my spendy day was today! I agree, it's really good to delay spending for exactly that reason, to decide whether you need things. In my case I've bought a pair of shoes (which are needed) and some other things, including a small number of books. :):)
  • Spendy day again today...planning on getting back on track tomorrow. Thanks @cathybird for all that you do.

    At last, another NSD to report.
    Can I ask, how do the decluttering goals work on your signature? Does that mean you have actually decluttered over 17000 items? 
    Yes and last year was 40,000! I do count absolutely every little thing, so 1 piece of paper counts as 1. I did also declutter my laptop so had a lot of files deleted. It took 2 years to sort the house (hindered by my parents who keep bringing me stuff), but I’m finished and just in maintenance mode now. I hadn’t actually decluttered anything for 10 years before that!
