I use olive oil and yoghurt when making lemon cake so I should think I could use the same for chocolate. There's a thought I should be pushing to one side! Naughty choco cake! I am looking for that book as I desperately need to get rid of stuff...not my stash of yarn of course that stays, much to Sr P's disgust. Take care.

I have done a lot of decluttering and I can say it makes me feel so good. All my surplus 'treasures' have gone to good homes so they can be enjoyed/used for a bit longer. I have gained space and also found things I've 'lost' or forgotten I had. My husband's aunt did not throw anything away so when we came to clear her house we were dealing with stuff going back 40 years plus... so much work because she could not part with stuff. So, continue to declutter! xThreads through my lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17727102938455568946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671225480721447118.post-58946953133753741872021-11-09T16:16:21.023+00:002021-11-09T16:16:21.023+00:00I was already feeling like I needed to sort things...I was already feeling like I needed to sort things out - finding the book was just the catalyst I needed.

Things are put 'away' and if not asked about (sometimes for months or years) they go.
