I'm sure a few of the sheets I folded had holes in them too but I'll sort through that another time.
It's the dogs digging to find a comfy spot.
Every set of bedding and throw all end up holey. I use them as long as possible though but it was their time!Debt Free - 4th June 20250 -

Busy day ahead.
4 paid dog walks then my own and I'll be home for about 2:30pm.
My nephew will be heading to mine for about 3pm to start putting my fence posts in.
I'll need to pop into screwfix to pick up the nails for the fence that I ordered last week.
Will have a look at the fund and pay CC bills when I am home and settled later.Debt Free - 4th June 20250 -

Well didn't get the bathroom unit stocked cos I couldn't fit it in the bathroom and was too tired last night to battle with it.
Going to finish my coffee and have another go soon.

Got the bathroom unit in! Had to saw a part of the top off to get it in though.
Does that count as decluttering?Debt Free - 4th June 20252 -
