​Get Organised Month and Gold Coin Savings Redecorate the Loungeroom

​Hi Cath, 

Just thought I'd let you know that I hadn't read the bit that said this was Get Organised month, but being the mother of three males, all adult, two still living at home and having inherited their late father's least endearing quality, hoarding, I was where I was feeling as if we were getting buried under it all. 

Our lounge suite fell apart, but I made them sit on it in the hope it would get them into action, but no such luck. So last Saturday, I went to a factory outlet, having saved some money for that purpose, and ordered a lovely black leather lounge suite with four reclining seats out of the five seats, and I arranged for it to be delivered tomorrow, and boy have they moved. There's still work to be done tonight and tomorrow, just as well it's a hard garbage collection on Monday, but the loungeroom is a lot better than it was, and by tomorrow when the lounge arrives it will be lovely and clean and clutter free.

Just to top it off, I opened up the can I had the gold coins I'd been saving up in and there's enough in there to pay for a lovely new entertainment unit, a lamp table, the new deep red Persian rug and an art deco style leadlight lamp to go on the lamp table, plus I'll have enough left over to pay for the accommodation for my holiday in Bendigo in July!

The next job, the family room and kitchen, then my bedroom, and that should just about get rid of most of the junk we don't use. I have an op shop box filled already and there are going to be many more of those yet to come.

I have a copy of your new book and from what I've managed to find time to read so far, there are some great hints in it, thanks for that one and Debt Free, Cashed Up, and Laughing, love that one as well.

Vicki Judd
