Cracking! Absolutely loved this and Finlay, what a little stunner! Butter wouldn’t melt springs to mind!

Good Morning! Yes loved your decluttering piece… it is very therapeutic! And loved the mouse video- saw it also on Sky News- what a cute very intelligent creature as of course all animals are. I love decluttering but also find it difficult to let things go as clothing especially holds so many memories and it’s an emotional thing isn’t it?! Still… am very glad I don’t have as many socks… very stressful😅

Finlay sounds like such a sweet fun loving dog- give him lots of cuddles🤗

We may be moving from Richmond to Dorset in a few months to help my mother in law so that will mean another sort/clear out🤦‍♀️ I will miss Petersham /Richmond hugely. A belated Happy New Year to you and hope you have a good weekend- keep warm!🐿

I definitely am a hoarder of old CL magazines, yes going back to the days when your Finley was Bunty!! Filed in boxes by month (all the January ones are around the house now) they are very seasonal and haven’t dated that much. I’d love to know if (and how) you’ve decluttered yours Susy? Xx

Glad you enjoyed it Kay. Hmmmm, yes, Finlay looks so sweet but is quite naughty - unfortunately I often can't get cross because he makes me laugh so much!

Hi Sue, Glad you enjoyed my thoughts on de-cluttering. Yes, it is all very tricky to part with things.

Finlay is indeed fun-loving - and sometimes very naughty. We have to keep reinforcing the fact that WE, not Him are in charge!

Sad to hear you are moving, but if I didn't live where I am, Dorset would be my next choice - I love all the area round the Jurassic Coast and its not too far away. Happy new year to you too. Keep us posted on your move.
