I had a whole week off work, which was spent de-cluttering my wardrobe. I actually really enjoyed doing it, I found lots of things that I had lost and found stuff I thought I’d already chucked out! I ended up with 6 full black bags of things for Oxfam, clothes and books mainly. I felt so good about myself for being generous (and not selling stuff on eBay like I was planning) and finally tidying it all out (after a year!).
The de-cluttering extended to my laptop. Initially I cleared about 5GB of junk from my internal drive which I was proud of. But then I decided to install Linux as a duel-boot OS which was all fine and dandy until it refused to boot at all about 4 days later. I gave up trying to fix it and just re-installed WindowsXP. So here I am, starting again. This is exactly why I keep all my music and must-have files on my external drives.
When I went back to work on Friday though everything came down with a crash, literally. At around 7:05am I heard an almighty crash and immediately ran out to the shop floor. It turns out that a delivery van had reversed into one of our shop windows (our windows run full height of the shop) and had smashed it. Although the window didn’t come crashing into the shop it was still smashed. It was - and still is - being held together by the full sized fascia stickers on the inside of the window.
I felt so bad for the guy that did it as well. Accidents happen and although it was a stupid one it looks like he’s lost his job out of it as it was a different driver that showed up yesterday morning. Oh well…
The weekend was fun, the boy and I went shopping for a new bed and he ended up getting a big divan bed. We went with his mum (hey, we needed her driving skills!) and spent about 4 hours trawling across the south side of Glasgow for a bed! Apparently he’s never going shopping with both of us again. Ah well, at least we have a comfy bed now.

Well, atleast no one was hurt in the accident. Shopping is usually fun, especially when you come home with a new, comfy bed. I too, keep all of my important files on my external drive, because you just never know.

The bed shopping sounds like it was fun, LOL. :) I should clear stuff off of my laptop [like all of those songs I'm not listening to anymore] but I keep feeling like I need everything and can’t throw anything away.

Spring cleaning early huh? I love cleaning days because you find so many things you think you’ve lost or have been looking for.
Congrats on the new comfy bed, use it well. ;)

Wow I wish I had a wardrobe that big that I was able to throw stuff out. Unfortunately my wardrobe is really small, I don’t really have a lot of stuff. And everything in there is black!
