Lovely, lovely photos Muddy xxxxx
Just had the Post. I can drive again. 😲 yikes!
Have a photo of the upcycled shoe bench.:16 -
@Muddy_Walker..
My heart goes out to you.. 💗
Many moons ago I lost the most wonderful friend in horrendous circumstances during an already abysmal year.
My beautiful Sammy was just the kindest and gentlest soul.. (Black Sprocker Spaniel) I still feel the ache when I see others like him.. (especially those with a full white bib)
For me, getting to tell stories of his hilarious mischief and love for my boys (& the cats) keeps him close always..
Sending much love 🐾"There's a little witch in all of us"🔮🪬🧿DEBT FREE 06/2018Mrs SD’s Decluttering 2025 ⭐️ 🥇13 -

@Muddy_Walker I love the photo of them in the water. They're family though, not just pets so it's normal to be so upset. Our cat co-parented with me for almost 16 years. She threatened anyone that even raised their voice to ds (including me) and I cried all over again when we brought her ashes home last week.14

@Muddy_Walker
Thanks for sharing the photos - particularly the action shot!! I so would love to be jumping around in some cool water today and dogs would just make it more fun. (& that's from a cat person!!)
Pleased that I freegled the 2 fans found in the garage. Had one person ask but needed to pick them up this morning and I hadn't even got them out of the garage AND we were out this morning in any case. When I told her it wasn't convenient I expected her to come back with an alternative but all I got was "well I'll be at work later". Hmmmmm..... So very pleased when I got another message and it was from the same guy that took a suitcase last month - very nice, pleasant, prompt, jolly. Amazing that it is now just an hour since he messaged about them and already he's come and gone!!!I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.

A small update for this evening. I decided to try finding 10 things to get rid of in 10 mins. I'm not generally a fan as I don't enjoy the pressure, but actually I managed to find enough pretty quickly. May give it a go again. I then went through the instruction folder after being inspired by a video online.4 - packaging too small to be useful (recycled)
3 - books DD doesn’t read anymore (charity bag)
2 - perished underwear (recycling)
1 - bra inserts I won’t ever use (recycling)
23 - instructions I don’t need (recycled)
2 - paperwork not needed (shredded)
1 - card reader I don’t need (binned)New total 2,689
