Debt, Diet and Decluttering - The Lifetime Diary

Busy day so far. 

FT work today and 3 paid dog walks - all good for money coming in to keep us going and help me meet my goals. 

I'm supposed to be going to a buffet with my sister and her kids later but she's just phoned to say might not be going now. 

Was looking forward to it so hopefully we can still go.

So made it to the buffet but only me and my niece went. Sister stayed home with nephew because he had been acting up through the day. 

Dropped niece off and walked the dogs. 

Home now on the couch and got a bit of work to catch up on.

• Bag of hooves and a bone packed off to a friends for her dog who will love them
• Bag of dresses back to my sisters house

Humph ! My adorable dog had a huge new bone last night, she woke me up 4 times during the night for her to go outside and check it was still safe ! On the 4th one she realised that it wasn’t a good idea 😤😤😤😤😤

What are they like!

Drive you mad at times don't they but doesn't make us love them any less.

Had my mum staying over for the weekend so my routine is all over the place when she is here.

Need to try and get back on track now that she is home.

Well that rain is awful today. Had to drop the car off at the garage again so got up 7am took the dogs round the back of the house for 15 minutes. Bundled them in the car and drove to the garage and walked the dogs back up the road which took just over an hour. 

It was icy rain in my face the whole way home. Came in fed the dogs made myself a coffee and currently cosied on the couch in my jammies. 

Off work today, planning to potter about the house and get a bit done but not moving until at least lunchtime!

Not very MSE or good for the diet but I am going to order something to eat.

The guys from the council were outside so spoke to them about the shed and the fence that's been taken down and is in the back court - they've took a picture and are going to book a job in with a couple of vans to come and uplift it all!

One less thing for me to do. 

Also hired a nail gun for my nephew to build my new fence but the weather has been terrible so he's not managed to get the fence posts in yet - called them to extend the hire from Friday to Monday and the girl on the phone said she'll just extend for no additional charge.

Finally started clearing out my cupboards so managed to declutter;

• Bag for life - Cloths in there to go to my sisters
• Pack of 50 cloths x6 - Off to my sisters, mum sent them to me but I don't like them
• Single duvet set - Haven't had a single bed in here for nearly 2 years
• Double duvet set x2 - Holes in both so time to go
• Car seat cover - Holes in them
• Valance sheet x2 - They are awful
• Cardboard box x2 - Unpacked a couple of deliveries and they went straight to the blue bin

There will be more to go but I'll get back to it later.

You sound like me as I have similar things that I need to de-clutter (i.e. things with holes in!)
