    Well done on decluttering, you have chipped away at that well

  • Well done you! Bet it feels amazing.

    I'm gonna tackle my clutter one box, bag, cupboard at a time.

    What recipe do you use for your overnight oats?

    Oh sounds good!

    I use 5 table spoons of oats to 3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt with whatever fruits on top! Nice and simple.

    Afternoon all,

    Not much going on we went to two boot sales this morning but thats about it. Ive also done two loads of washing and hung on the line.

    Im about to clean the oven and later on I plan on making a roast chicken dinner! Which i will use left overs for lunch tomorrow too.

    Ive applied for a new credit card, its come with a limit of £1,500 but I plan to use it for small purchases and then pay it back the month later so I can improve my score. I think ive realised that I dont need to rely on credit cards!
