    Well done to Little Jwil for doing Park Run :T. Great news on two big items selling too :T.

    Thank you :)

    Love it when kids want to get into these park runs, its so good for them. Yes, I think using up the gingerbread men definitely counts as de cluttering. I have been getting rid of a few bits that weren't fit to sell, by putting on a FB page that is all about recycling and reusing etc, so members give away stuff rather than take it to CS. Makes me feel good as I am decluttering as well as helping somebody out.

    It is nice to see, definitely!

    Great that you are managing to get rid of stuff, it's always nice to see things go to a good home :)

    My car passed it's MOT :T :T So pleased about that, not even an advisory :D

    I've also been to the docs and got yet another medication to try. Hopefully this one will do the trick. It doesn't have the increased appetite side effect which is a relief, it was the last thing I needed!

    I have switched our energy supplier over the weekend. It should save us over £300 a year, and also it's 100% renewable energy. Pleased about that. I do have to go for monthly DD but hoping if I submit readings each month it should be accurate enough.

    We also took the kids on an Easter Egg hunt this weekend, they loved it. It's a nice excuse to visit places we don't go to often.

    12 parcels posted this morning :T

    Hi jwill. I ditched my book for a couple of weeks and have read all your diaries. Wow what an inspiration - they were so addictive.

    We have loads in common and you have really inspired me to get myself sorted - I started a diary but was finding it so hard being honest with myself. I need to get sorted so will get back in it this week. I love how you were doing pad's and working things out as percentages so I intend to do that my husband is desperate to have savings and as I do all the money stuff I am going to try and make that a reality.

    I hope you are feeling better - in real life I would just want to give you a great big hug - introvert or not!

    Love BB50 xx

    BB50 - you are truly amazing :beer: I can't believe you had the stamina to read my diaries, and I'm quite touched :o

    I miss doing the pads actually, they were a great way of feeling like I was doing something. I'm just struggling to find the spare. I will eventually have the spare cash.

    I hope you restart your diary, I agree we have a lot in common. It can be quite eye opening when you see it all in writing. On the odd occasion I go back and read stuff I posted, I can remember exactly how I felt, and think it's a great record of progress. When I'm moaning now about things, I can look back and see how it was and how far I've come even if it doesn't feel that way sometimes.

    I've been so engrossed in catching up on diaries on here, I totally forgot I'd put a SW quiche in the oven for lunch tomorrow. Luckily DH remembered after it had been in the oven over an hour :eek: Our oven is so rubbish it was only just cooked :rotfl: I thought it would be black!

    Glad the quiche got rescued in time :D.

    I hope the new meds don't increase appetite, that can be a side effect of some unfortunately.

    I asked the doc and they said no thankfully. It's the last thing I need :rotfl:
