Enjoy the cider HH
Sorry to hear your news CBC x“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -
Well done with the sale bargains! You certainly know how to pick ‘em!
I’m a big fan of the Kon Mari method of folding clothes. Some of her book is a bit airy fairy for me - the finding joy in your clothes, etc - but her actual mechanics of storing and de-cluttering are excellent.
You’re doing good with your food as well Hairy!:j

I have had another glass of pretend baileys this evening. There is real pleasure in drinking from a beautiful glass, isn't there?
It sounds like you got some real bargains, thoroughly deserved after all your office clearing during the week.

It's very frustrating :mad:. At least I managed to avoid looking at the clothes. It's not a bargain if I don't need it.Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally
