    Makes you feel brilliant doesn't it.

    I am going to tackle my room this weekend and get organised.

    I have a load of stuff put away for Christmas so need to sort that out so that I know what I need to buy.

    Hello I have changed broadband and it took a couple of days but now all is well!!!! I spent £40 yesterday at the supermarket and bought some lovely fresh food. Taxi fare was £10.

    I also put two sacks of carboot leftovers to the local charity shop. I am enjoying this decluttering. Now I have the internet I am planning to put my table on fleabay even if there is a listing cost. lol.

    Although it was very autumnal and wet earlier this week it is now dry and bright. At work I spent £5 on food and charity. Yay to a good weekend. Here are my not so exciting plans:

    I[STRIKE]'ve done one load of washing and am line drying.
    The crossdresser is gone. There is a big space now in the kitchen but it is glorious to have the space back.
    I've vacuumed and dusted and am now going to mop.
    I should be able to collect the new (smaller) dining table next Saturday. [/STRIKE]
    My large table has two watchers on fleabay but it is expensive so we shall see if it sells.
    [STRIKE]I am hoping to plant some daffodil bulbs, some winter pansy plants (vvv late - they were whoopsied) and de-weed the front garden.[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]I have some lessons to write and[/STRIKE] I am going to rest.[STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]I also listed my little coffee table too on fleabay [/STRIKE][/STRIKE]

    It is getting darker now. I am so happy only one week till hols. Then I can have a week of lie ins!!! I still have £50 cash left to spend and £50 in my account after all bills are paid.

    The nice seller is delivering my new table on Wednesday at 4.30.

    OMG some people just came to look at the larger table and want to buy it. They are coming to take it away on Wednesday night and paying me £300.

    I have written most of my work for this week. Hurrah.
