I'm like you Amy and toss things if they ate unused. With a family of 7 I can't afford to keep everything or we would run out of space to move around ;D
A couple of years ago we had or roof space turned into usuable storage with an attic ladder installed. I have been meaning to go up there and do a bit of a sort and chuck as well.

The other day while sorting out my filing cabinet I found a recipe (quiet a rude one about bananas) that my brother gave me many years ago. It made me smile when I read it, more because of the story on how I got it than the recipe it's self.
I went for a interview for a Job in Ballarat and got my brother to help me with my resume and letter of application. And as he lived in Melbourne he posted it along with the rude recipe. But instead of posting it directly to me he accidentally posted it to the place I was applying for a job :o
I did happen to get an interview and the first thing they handed me was the rude recipe and said I think this belongs to you. You can imagine my embarrassment :D
And I didn't get a job there, probably cause I was so embarrassed and nervous. :D
I laugh about it now though.

I have only just found this tread. Sitting here drinking my second coffee reading all 10 pages. This has made me happy.

Last night I went to Lady Gaga with DW, my sister and BiL. Watchng my DW have such a good time made me happy. Then at the end of the concert Lady Gaga grabbed 2 fans from the audience to come on stage and dance with her during the encore. I really liked this. These girls were so happy (happy doesn't really describe it), I can't think of another performer who would do this.

I'm glad you found this thread Dash, it makes me happy to re-read all the posts too :D
It sounds like Lady Gaga might be a pop star with a heart :o Not many of those around I don't think. I'm glad your DW enjoyed it, I imagine it was a very good concert ;)

Amy - I rang my Mum and told her I had had a clean out and the first thing she said was "oh...I hope it wasn't anything good or that you can use" I laughed and said "no Nana". What hope have I got?!
Finally finished cleaning up and there are 5 boxes for the Good Sammies. There is a box of shoes, I had no idea I had so many shoes that I did not wear. (what was I thinking when I bought some of them  :o )
I even found my wedding shoes from 1995! They had to go. Hubby shook his head and said "geeze - you only wore that pair once".
Extra happy as the floors still look sensational and I can see more of them in the walk in robe now!

LOL good old mum Nikkit ;D ;D ;D
I'm very impressed that you're getting rid of 5 boxes! :o Well done! :D
Especially the shoes, I know how hard it is to get rid of shoes :-))

I was just overcome by such a sudden and intense feeling of happiness that I felt the urge to tell everyone that I loved them. Unfortunately I was in the shower at the time, so I didn't think that running out and shouting it to the world was such a good idea at that moment :-))
But I'm here, on the forum right now, telling you all how much I love you for being such wonderful human beings :-* :-* :-*

Oh wow, thats nail-biting stuff Amanda :o

I'm lucky my assessments don't have specific 'deadlines'. They're all just due at the end of the course, so I basically have a year to do them ;D

I say i am going to check emails, then I end up here too...

I say I'm studying and I end up here :-)) Much funnerer :D

Well I have finally finished cleaning and decluttering. Happy moment last night sitting on the lounge with DH (DS at a sleepover) and looking at my beautiful clean house. Sad I know...
Exercise is a dirty word... Every time I hear it, I wash my mouth out with chocolate
